Through the first three preseason games, it appears the Cleveland Browns should be more than happy with the choice to draft Baker Mayfield with the No. 1 overall pick. Aside from his personality fit, Mayfield has quickly proven to be the most efficient of the five first-round QBs from the 2018 NFL Draft.

Kevin Cole from fantasy football stie RotoGrinders handily compiled the stats for all five and threw them in a nice chart:

The net yards per attempt is the key. Mayfield is producing more down the field than the others, notably the big-armed Allen.

Obviously the context of the performances and situations are absent here. Darnold with the Jets has played more with the first-team offense, and Allen in Buffalo appears poised to be the starter now that AJ McCarron is on the shelf. Even so, it’s encouraging to see Mayfield playing well relative to his peers with his opportunities in the preseason.
