I'm going with Baker Mayfield. So far the only knock on Mayfield is his height. If he was 6'3" or taller, he'd be the clear number one. Some knocked the defenses he lit up, but then he went up against one of the best defenses in Georgia and put a hurt on them. Teams will say "we want a big prototype QB in the mold of Peyton Manning". Manning would've been great if he was 6'1". His height didn't make him great; his work ethic and understanding of the game did.

Height's important but as Drew Brees and Russell Wilson have shown, it's not the be-all and end-all.
I don't think any of these guys are going to be superstars.
There's too many legitimate questions for that to happen.But they could be a couple of very good ones.I think Rosen and Mayfield have the best chance of being productive for a long time.USC QB's (Darnold) are guilty until proven competent in the NFL.Allen is the wild card; love the arm and the build but accuracy is an issue and he's played against a low/lower level of competition in high school, JC and Wyoming.Classic boom or bust.
