6. Injury misdirected Mayfield too

His last season with the Browns he played through injury and had a terrible season. But if he hadn't played he would have been criticized for that too. The Bucs aren't good but, if healthy, Mayfield will show what he can do. Picking Lance was simply a mistake. Even when healthy he has never shown he can be a solid starter in the NFL.
