Earlier in the night Thursday, it seemed like the Cleveland Browns and Carolina Panthers were on the verge of making a trade for Baker Mayfield happen. The Panthers seemed like the best fit as a team with a need for a starting quarterback but not having the resources to trade for one like Jimmy Garoppolo.
As the third round rolled on, numerous national reports seemed to be getting information that the trade was possible or likely sometime during the weekend.
Quickly, things changed and ended with Carolina trading a 2023 third-round pick to move up from pick #137 to the New England Patriots pick at #94 to select QB Matt Corral.
