CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Browns will conduct a private workout with quarterback Baker Mayfield on Thursday at Oklahoma during their busy week of working out the top four quarterbacks, league sources told cleveland.com.



They worked out Josh Rosen at UCLA on Tuesday and had dinner with Sam Darnold later that night in advance of his Pro Day today at USC.



They'll then head to Oklahoma for Mayfield's private workout Thursday and to Wyoming for Josh Allen's Pro Day on Friday and a private workout.



By the time the week is over, the Browns will have a good idea of who they'll take at No. 1 overall in the draft.

They'll also bring all four prospects, and likely other QBs such as Lamar Jackson, to the Browns facility as part of their 60 permitted pre-draft visits. During those visits, prospects can meet with team officials and be examined by the medical staff, but not work out, unless they're from Northeast Ohio.



The Browns have some evaluators in the building who have already acknowledged they like Mayfield, including draft consultant Scot McCloughan, who had him at the top of his QB class a few months ago before he started consulting exclusively for the Browns in February.



Browns GM John Dorsey has also said he likes him and defended his character at the Senior Bowl.



But it didn't stop Dorsey from immediately ribbing Mayfield about his arrest last year for public intoxication when he walked into the for his NFL Combine interview with the Browns.



But Mayfield aced his combine interviews according to officials from four NFL teams who were in on those sessions. Some said his story of having to walk on at Texas Tech and then Oklahoma endeared him to interviewers.



Mayfield also had a terrific workout at the NFL Combine, where he said he was the most accurate quarterback in the draft. Rosen later said the same thing about himself.



"I thought Baker Mayfield was fun to watch,'' NFL Network's Mike Mayock said after the workout at Lucas Oil Stadium. "He embraces the limelight. Some guys kind of get worried about it, I think he comes out there and says, hell, 32 teams are here, man, let's rip it, let's have some fun and he did and I thought, again, as the day went on and he got into his comfort level, intermediate and deep routes, several people said to me, including David Carr down on the field, he's like, Mike -- we went to a break -- and he said, man, his arm's better than I expected and I thought the same thing coming off my first exposure to him when I watched tape back in the fall.''

Carr, a former No. 1 overall pick, was impressed.

"Baker's arm is more live than I expected,'' he said. "He's got a little bit more zip than I thought he would have on it because even the deep throws that he made to the sideline were not a lot of arc and he was able to get it out there. I thought he was going to have to be a guy that would have to anticipate, throw a little early. But these in cuts that he threw, he threw three really good tight spiral footballs down there. So I'm pleasantly surprised by what I've seen from Baker so far.

"It's a similarity that's probably a little bit of a stretch, but you see a lot of drew brees when he's moving around. I think even a little more velocity with him, especially when he's throwing right before rosen and you can see he's right there with him.''

The Browns are considering all four top QBs at No. 1 despite the fact Hue Jackson has declared Tyrod Taylor his uncontested starter for 2018.

During his NFL Combine podium interview, Mayfield proclaimed himself the anecdote for the Browns losing ways.

"If anybody's going to turn that franchise around, it's going to me,'' said Mayfield. "They're close, they're very close, they've got the right pieces they just need that one guy and quarterback make the difference.''

Mayfield said he's the man for the job because of "accuracy, I can make any throw. Winning that's the most important, but the way I've been able to get my guys around me to play, not just the offensive players around me, the other 10 guys, but defensive guys, special teams, the energy I bring, the passion I bring, it's infectious. So you can ask anybody on that Oklahoma staff, that's what I bring to the table and it helps us out.''

Mayfield (6-0, 215) has similar size and skills to those of Taylor, and the transition from one to the other would be seamless.

"Height doesn't matter, you see guys like Tyrod Taylor, Brees, Russell Wilson, they've proven that it doesn't matter,'' said Mayfield. "If you want to say anything else I've got three years of tape you can watch. I had less batted balls at the line of scrimmage than the other guys here and I'm pretty sure I'm a shorter guy too, so it doesn't matter.''

The Browns will work out the shorter Mayfield a day before the 6-5 Allen's Pro Day, so they'll get a good feel for the height difference and determine for themselves how much it matters.
