Sam Darnold is confident he can still become one of the NFL's best quarterbacks.

"As long as I know what we're doing, what the defense is doing, I'm confident I can be one of the best quarterbacks in the league," Darnold said.

Darnold has a 17-32 record as a starter in the NFL. The Carolina Panthers drafted Matt Corral in the third round and Matt Rhule also hasn't ruled out bringing in a veteran.

"What Sam has been through this offseason has been very hard," Rhule said. "Your back's against the wall. Everyone's kind of questioning whether you can do this or not. We've seen a guy who has shown up who has a little more edge to him. He's very, very focused."

The Cleveland Browns were unable to successfully trade Baker Mayfield at the draft. ESPN's Jake Trotter detailed their attempts.

The Carolina Panthers wanted the Browns to pay a significant portion of Mayfield's $19 million contract as the two sides discussed a trade during the second round. The Browns declined and Carolina traded up into the third round to select Matt Corral of Ole Miss.

Instead of Mayfield competing with Sam Darnold for the starting job, it will be Corral. Mayfield, meanwhile, remains in limbo.
