1. It seems strange for the Browns to not name No. 1 draft pick Baker Mayfield their starting quarterback immediately, given that 17 of the last 20 first-round quarterbacks have assumed the first-string duties before the end of their rookie season. One could argue that Cleveland is just wasting valuable practice reps for the young QB by initially naming him the backup to Tyrod Taylor, whom the team acquired from the Bills for the No. 65 draft pick.
In Buffalo, Taylor was an ultra-conservative caretaker quarterback who moved the chains with his legs and on well-crafted play-action rollouts, but he also left throws on the field and struggled with precision accuracy.
