Jackson said in mid-March that there wouldn't be a competition for the job, dubbing Taylor as the Week 1 starter. It was unclear at the time which of Mayfield, Sam Darnold or Josh Allen would be the No. 1 overall pick, and Cleveland ultimately settled on a player who's the oldest of the bunch (23 years old) and also had the best college career. Mayfield will enter training camp third on the depth chart behind Taylor and Drew Stanton (knee), but the rookie should nonetheless get reps with the first and second units at some point in August. It's increasingly rare for NFL franchises to stick with their stated intention of keeping an early draft pick at quarterback on the bench for his rookie season, though most teams in this situation don't have a veteran with a track record as solid as Taylor's. Despite Jackson's attempts to downplay a controversy, the Cleveland quarterbacks will bear close watching throughout the summer and into the regular season.
