NFL Notes: Baker Mayfield, Shaquem Griffin, Draft

April 2, 2018

Manish Mehta reports that Oklahoma QB Baker Mayfield will make pre-draft visits to the Giants and Jets in the coming days.
The Giants are scheduled to meet with Mayfield this weekend and he will then visit with the Jets from April 9-10.
After that, Mayfield will travel to meet with the Browns, Bills, Dolphins and Cardinals over the final few weeks before the draft.

Daniel Jeremiah recently polled five NFL executives about which team they believe would be the best fit for UCF LB Shaquem Griffin. Steelers, Rams, Cardinals, Patriots and Ravens all got one vote apiece.
Jeremiah expects Griffen to end up being a third- or fourth-round pick who could emerge as a full-time starter sooner than some think. According to Jeremiah, Will linebacker in a 4-3 defensive scheme would probably be the best position for him, as he can cover running backs and tight ends while still utilizing his blitzing ability.
