Summary

NFL Network’s Mike Mayock, on the eve of the NFL Scouting Combine, on his quarterback pick in a murky quarterback crop (hint: Mark Sanchez U.), on why he would ignore the recent spate of top running backs taken on days two and three of the draft and take Saquon Barkley of Penn State in the top five, and, in general, giving an educated primer to the 2018 Draft class. ESPN draft analyst Todd McShay on the NFL skepticism on UCLA quarterback Josh Rosen, on the way Baker Mayfield reminds him of Brett Favre, on his belief this quarterback crop has been bashed too much in the wake of some mediocre 2017 season by the passers in the draft, and on the quarterback this year who makes some throws “that’ll make you want to puke.”

0:58.9	the NFL scouting combine was basically in its infancy and no one really cared about it. No media went to the
1:06.0	scouting combine and really media covering the scouting combine didn't start
1:11.1	basically until the late 90s in Indianapolis and I will
1:15.2	never forget in the year 2000 working for Sports Illustrated and going to the
1:21.2	scouting combine in Indianapolis there
1:24.3	was very little security at the combine because there were only about 15 or 20
