Generally I'd agree but if I'm Cleveland in that circumstance and I have to have Mayfield, I take saquon and then I use the extra draft ammo they have to secure a move up from 4 to 2...(or vice versa and go Mayfield 1, saquon 2)

And the reason I say generally I'd agree because in this circumstance the disparity between the QBs is seemingly so slim, and the browns have the 1 and 4 picks. We almost never see a team in that position.

They probably dont value saquon that highly. He is a running back after all. I'd take my QB 1 and then know that I'm either getting saquon or chubb at 4. No way you can live with yourself if you're the browns GM if you take the leftover qb at 4 and the guy you had rated slightly higher went number 2 or 3 and your guy ends up busting while the guy you passed on just to secure a running back becomes a star.
