n a piece for Sports Illustrated, Robert Klemko outlined a scenario he saw unfold at the Renaissance Hotel this week when a Bears scout approached Mayfield about conducting an interview:

“You know I’ve got to get you for 15 minutes, Baker,” the scout tells him.

“Yeah, we’ll see. I’ve got a bunch more meetings tonight,” Mayfield replies.

It goes on like that, with the scout pressing on and Mayfield apologetically leaning away, reluctant to commit to a 15-minute interview with a scout whose team drafted a quarterback second overall just nine months ago. Then something clicks in Mayfield’s brain, like the latch catching on a closing door.

“You guys just drafted Mitchell Trubisky,” Mayfield says, “so what do you want with me?”

Not the sort of thing you want to hear about a potential QB prospect. Even if the way he feels is understandable, you can't do that. Character is more important at QB than any other position. Some teams out there will absolutely consider this a red flag. He's such a moron.

If he is there and pace drafts him I might just have to join the i love pace camp. But I fully expect him to be gone by 8.

This sounds bad, but I'm sure when put in context is understandable. I imagine Baker has plenty of interest from NFL scouts and doesn't have the time and energy in one weekend to meet with every team.

Even then, Isn't there a limit to the amount of meeting the players do this weekend?

If he has to choose who is going to get his time, the Bears shouldn't be a priority. Plain and Simple.

He had some stuff going on with his mom. She has a illness. I don't know if that impacted who he wants on his time or not. Still it does nothing to dispel what people think about him. Sorry I got somewhere important to be sounds better than Hey man didn't you grab Mitch T last year? Maybe he was half joking, but its hard to tell.

Uh, you guys are missing the obvious point here.... Pace KNOWS Trubisky is a bust and is already hot after other top QB prospects.

Not the kind of attitude that wins over your bosses or teammates. First impressions are usually hard to dispel.

WHy is this even news? If you are a QB soon to be drafted with ambitions to be an NFL starting Qb, why would you want a team that has a young QB who they like alot to have interest in you?
