We're still three months away from the 2018 NFL Draft but the quarterback debate is already heated.

COMPARE: Josh Allen vs. Baker Mayfield
[divider]
Though draft analysts rarely find common ground and almost never issue identical grades or projections for quarterback prospects, this year's crop of Baker Mayfield, Josh Allen and others have prompted a particularly interesting debate as to who should be selected first. The football world nearly blew up when ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. projected Allen as the No. 1 pick the Cleveland Browns last week.
The pair — along with Josh Rosen, Sam Darnold and Lamar Jackson — will be watched very closely in the coming weeks as they jockey for draft position. And both Allen and Mayfield were in Mobile, Ala., for the Senior Bowl, where a dueling practice session went Mayfield's way — by a mile.
This is one rep in one drill but still an interesting (or amusing?) side-by-side comparison of the two:
