Baker Mayfield vs. Lamar Jackson 

Mayfield and Jackson were the bookends of the first round of the 2018 draft, with the Browns taking Mayfield first overall and the Ravens taking Jackson 32nd. But so far in their careers, Jackson has far outplayed Mayfield. He leads Mayfield 2-1 in head-to-head matchups and has a better overall record (19-3 vs. 12-17), more total touchdowns, a better completion percentage and far fewer sacks and interceptions.

Jackson also has an MVP trophy to his name.
