Links to the Best in AFC North Coverage, 3/9 Edition

Today's links around the AFC North primarily concern taking closer looks at who may be a good fit on each team this offseason.

From quarterback for the Cleveland Browns, to the draft prospects who would flourish in the Baltimore Ravens' zone blocking scheme and everything in between, personnel is the word of the day.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer's Mary Kay Cabot breaks down Browns general manager Tom Heckert's comments to the media on Thursday; more on this from me later today.

One thing that Heckert spoke of at length was the talent of Oklahoma State quarterback Brandon Weeden. Bleacher Report draft expert Sigmund Bloom takes a closer look at whether Weeden and the Browns would be a good match.

According to Pro Football Talk, 2012 won't be Ravens center Matt Birk's last year in the league; a source close to Birk says he would like to play for at least a "couple more" years.

Bleacher Report's John Jenkins takes a look at the Ravens' zone blocking scheme and players in this year's draft who would fit into it.

The Cincinnati Bengals are likely to pick up a running back in free agency this year. Bleacher Report's Matt Grey wonders if soon-to-be Cleveland Browns free agent running back Peyton Hillis could be a viable option.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Ed Bouchette discusses the possibility that recently-released Steelers linebacker James Farrior could return to the team later this year once training camp approaches.

Bleacher Report's Nick Signorelli continues his position-by-position breakdown of the Steelers as they head into the 2012 season. This time around, he looks at running back, a position of high concern this year with Rashard Mendenhall likely lost for the year.
