Just days after Titans general manager Jon Robinson said he isn’t afraid to deal the top pick, an anonymous team executive told NFL.com the Browns are not infatuated with any player who would be available with the second overall pick and would be willing to move down to acquire extra picks in the later rounds.

You can immediately grade how all 32 teams did in the 2019 NFL Draft based on the level of talent they acquired and how well they did to address their needs for both now and the near future.

That means picking undervalued prospects on Days 2 and 3. Some call them sleepers, some call them steals, but in the end, these are the players who will deliver the biggest returns based on where they were drafted into the league.

With the 2020 NFL Draft taking place this week, here’s a look at some of the best third-round selections since the turn of the century. Honorable mention Evan Mathis, G (No. 79 overall, 2005): The 12-year NFL veteran was selected to the Pro Bowl twice and was named an All-Pro in 2013. He became a Super Bowl champion in the 2015 season with the Broncos. Brian Westbrook, RB (No. 91 overall, 2002): Westbrook rushed for 6,335 yards and 41 touchdowns with the Eagles and 49ers....

The advice is in regard to the pre-draft process and includes (if invited) the Senior Bowl, the East-West Shrine Game or other all-star games within reason, showing up and doing all the drills at the Combine and then going through the entire Pro Day regimen, along with any requested team visits. I tell players never to put all their eggs in the Pro Day basket alone. But I’ve never dealt with a healthy player trying to decide whether to play in his team’s bowl game....

Indeed, the “football Giants” weren’t within 50 miles of Lincoln Financial Field when Philadelphia was, shall we say, deemphasizing victory. But they met with the greatest consequence, and they also were an easy target for online cynics because they were trying to reach the playoffs with a 6-10 record. What if the Giants were 10-6 and these same shenanigans occurred? See, it’s a copout. It’s not about the Giants....

Baltimore beat the Cowboys 34-17 in Week 13. They did so despite being one player short on their matchday roster after wide receiver Bryant was ruled out close to kick-off, much to his frustration ahead of facing his former team. He received an inconclusive COVID-19 test result but subsequently had a rapid-result positive. It meant the Ravens had to remove him from the roster even though their inactive players had already been announced....

Based on the updated draft order per Tankathon plus keeping in mind the structure of the current NFL playoff picture, here are the latest projections for the first-round picks in 2022, from 1-32:...

The NFL insists it is taking Pryor’s accusation very seriously — and that is refreshing, and unsurprising. This league, like Major League Baseball earlier this year in the Adam Jones-Fenway Park incident, handles its business with the obvious, blatant stuff.

“The reality is, he’s going to get suspended,” Mayfield said after his Browns defeated their rival from Pittsburgh 21-7. “We don’t know how long, and that hurts our team. We can’t do that. We can’t continue to hurt this team. It’s inexcusable.” The corresponding punishment should be taking Garrett, the team’s top defensive player, off the field for the remainder of the 2019 NFL season. It would be a harsh reaction, but perhaps it’s what’s needed for the Browns’ players to finally learn from their actions....

Now that that’s out of the way, Patrick Mahomes is entering Week 18 with 5,048 passing yards, the 15th 5,000-yard season in NFL history and 13th all-time. Mahomes is 429 yards off Peyton Manning’s record of 5,477 yards, set with the Broncos in 2013. As the Chiefs get ready to play the Raiders with the No. 1 seed in the AFC on the line, Mahomes does have a shot at that record – but it’s unlikely....
