Cleveland Browns:

• Cleveland Browns Expect Big Things From Myles Garrett This Season (ESPN). - “General manager John Dorsey showed Garrett tape of how Julius Peppers became dominant. Peppers, Dorsey feels, has a similar body size and approach as Garrett. Peppers has never been flashy or into showmanship; he’s just a professional who’s been outstanding. Which is the same approach Garrett takes.”
• Cleveland Browns receive NFL offseason grade from ESPN (247Sports). - “They took a short quarterback [Baker Mayfield] and an undersized corner in the top five picks, which is not ideal. It’s not that I don’t like either player, I just don’t think they should’ve been selected there. I thought you could get your quarterback and then either Saquon Barkley or Bradley Chubb, in whatever order. If you take a corner fourth, I’m used to seeing players like Patrick Peterson with the right combination of elite athleticism and size.”
• Tyrod Taylor exudes confidence, and he should (dawgpounddaily). - “Taylor is the starter for now and while he’s considered a bridge-quarterback, there is a lot of talk that he could wow the team and keep No. 1 pick Mayfield on the bench longer than expected.”
• 4 mistakes the Browns made this offseason (fansided) - “The Cleveland Browns used the offseason to improve a roster that went 0-16, but some mistakes were made heading into the new campaign.”
• The forgotten Browns quarterback (fansided). - “The Browns do not want to throw Mayfield into the fire without knowing for certain that he knows how to prepare as a starter.He will be learning how to do that from the Browns quarterback that has received the least amount of attention this off-season: Drew Stanton.”

NFL:

• Tom Brady repeats as No. 1 player in ‘Top 100’ rankings (NFL.com). - “A year ago, we cemented him as the G.O.A.T. -- the Greatest of All Time. Coming off his fifth Super Bowl win, what was there left for Brady to conquer? Well, a year later, he’s coming off being conquered -- at least temporarily.”
• Duvernay-Tardif, M.D.: NFL Should Let the Doctor Have His Jersey (Sports Illustrated) - “Sure, it’s a little gimmicky for Duvernay-Tardif to add those two letters to his already crowded nameplate, but it’s not as if he requested an absurd XFL-style nickname (“He Hate Me”) or an incorrect Spanish translation of a jersey number (Chad “Ochocinco,” who had to legally change his name for it to be reflected on his jersey)”
• Rating No. 1 wide receivers for all 32 NFL teams (ESPN). - “Which wide receivers fall into that “No. 1 wide receiver” category? And what is the best way to determine them?”
• For These Nine NFL Players, 2018 Is a Now-or-Never Year (The Ringer). - “Early-round picks are typically afforded more opportunities and a whole lot more patience than some of their late-round or undrafted brethren—but for both, there’s a limit.”
