Required Reading: Links to the Best in AFC North Coverage, 5/2 Edition

Today's AFC North required reading includes a look at a controversial comment made by Ravens head coach John Harbaugh, in-depth analysis of each team's draft picks and what Browns general manager Tom Heckert was thinking by making the picks he did.

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh spoke to Baltimore radio station 98Rock Tuesday and, among other comments, claimed that the New England Patriots' Super Bowl victories were tainted by the SpyGate scandal.

Harbaugh quickly backed away from the statement, trying later to clarify his point, which was a much broader comment about cheating in the NFL rather than an indictment of the Patriots specifically.

Sports Illustrated's Damon Hack says that the Cincinnati Bengals successfully built upon what they had started last season by making great picks in the draft.

Bleacher Report's Chris Roling believes that one of those picks, tight end Orson Charles, is set to make a major impact in the 2012 season.

AFC2NFC's Justin Higdon says that much can be gleaned about Cleveland Browns general manager Tom Heckert's thought process by looking at their draft haul from this year.

Bleacher Report's John Rozum believes that the Browns' drafting of quarterback Brandon Weeden will push Colt McCoy to be a better player.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Gerry Dulac takes a closer look at one of the Pittsburgh Steelers' draft picks, linebacker Sean Spence.

Nick DeWitt of Bleacher Report breaks down how every Steelers draft pick appears to fit in the team's 2012 plans.
