Interesting questions.

Like, "What would have happened if Eugene Debs had won the 1920 presidential election while he was serving his prison term for violating the Espionage Act of 1917?"

I kinda liked those commercials, I forget what they were advertising though.

Mayfield is a much better version of that A&M QB who was an obvious NFL bust.

It's also interesting how many productive college QBs basically have no shot at the pro level, or turn out to be mediocre at best.  The Stafford style college QB more often tends to do well than the Mayfield types.  Stetson Bennett is actually a decent college QB but nearly all agree he would not even get drafted, or might go last round.

Aaron Murray set most SEC passing records and held clipboards, same with Jake Fromm.  Maybe you really need to be 6'4", and then there are enough exceptions to make it fascinating.

I see it as kind of an ugly tradeoff. The NFL is still very much a drop back and throw your route tree league. Unfortunately, the teams that draft high (and are thus pressured to select a big name QB talent) are least equipped to succeed with that game plan.
Obviously, college teams like to use mobile QBs and RPO schemes to stress defenses and threaten the entire field. When you can set up on one hash mark and force the LBs and DBs into coverage conflicts, one defender late to his assignment can break a play into a TD. The NFL is still too fast for that. The field is too small to allow even the quickest offensive players to escape their equally speedy defensive counterparts. Thus, the NFL still covets the taller, rocket-armed QBs that can fire the 15 yard sideline pass on a rope through a tight window.
The teams drafting high, though, don't have the weapons to make that work. They'd be better off with a more mobile QB that could pick up cheap yards, convert first downs, and help out a usually substandard OL (as the true root of the problem). That style QB is not usually well regarded by an angry fan base, and would be limiting.

I watch new zero NFL, so I'll ask, do they run wheel routes much?

In college they often work well.

The claimed to use some metrics, but I don't think it matters much, it's click bait.

Yeah, Texas at 43 would clearly be wrong, they are more like 41.
