A 'sure thing' for the Browns' top draft pick; are the Cavs taking too many threes?

Listen Later

1 hour 21 minutes

Highlights:

The big question: Is Shedeur Sanders the Browns' long-term answer at quarterback? His development is a work in progress amidst a poor offense.

A compelling case for the Browns to use a high draft pick on a "sure thing" wide receiver like Carnell Tate instead of a risky QB, providing a reliable weapon for the next decade.

The offensive line is a top priority for a complete overhaul, with a need to invest heavily in the draft and free agency to find a cornerstone "10-year left tackle."

Jerry Jeudy's disappointing season raises questions about his future with the team given his large contract.

After a shaky start, kicker Andre Szmyt has become a reliable and above-average weapon, solidifying a key position for the Browns.

Quarterback Dillon Gabriel is largely viewed as a long-term backup, a role highlighted by fan reactions during a recent game appearance.

A debate emerged comparing the calm demeanor of Browns coach Kevin Stefanski to the fiery, culture-changing style of Indiana's Curt Cignetti, questioning which approach is better for a struggling team.

The modern college football landscape, with NIL and the transfer portal, allows for much faster program turnarounds than the more structured team-building environment of the NFL.

Cavs guard Darius Garland has shown a recent resurgence, playing more like the dynamic, aggressive offensive player he has been in the past.

Despite a recent win, the Cavs' defense remains a major concern, as they continue to struggle with transition defense and rebounding.

The Cavaliers are criticized for their heavy reliance on high-volume three-point shooting, with suggestions they should focus more on attacking the paint.

There's a belief that the Cavaliers' offense functions best when center Jarrett Allen is happy and actively involved as more than just a screener.

Fans expressed grave concern over MLB's official partnerships with sports betting companies, fearing it compromises the game's integrity.

Frustration is mounting over MLB's slow action in the gambling case involving Guardians players, especially when compared to the NBA's swift response in similar situations.

A top offseason wish for the Guardians is to trade from their pitching depth to acquire a much-needed right-handed power-hitting outfielder.

The system allowing wealthy MLB teams to sign "ready-made" international players is debated as unfair, sparking ideas for creating more parity for smaller markets.

The lack of playing time for offensive lineman Zak Zinter, despite numerous injuries, raises questions about his future with the Browns.
