Tim and Lance throw out two players and a sleeper and discuss each player and why they like them.
Then they do a Browns only mock draft and make the Browns' first three picks. Find out who they would take if the draft fell a certain way at the end of the month.

What we learned about Deshaun Watson's injury on Tuesday

The Browns are back for their offseason program, reporting to Berea on Monday for the start of the optional portion of the program. Nothing is mandatory until minicamp in June.
Like every team in the NFL, they have plenty of questions as they start to gear up for football to return and the start of training camp in July.
Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe use Monday’s Orange and Brown Talk Podcast to discuss three questions on the offensive side of the football.
They discuss their expectations for Deshaun Watson and when they hope to see Nick Chubb on the field again. They also look at the tackle situation and how it could shake out with three starting-caliber players on the roster.
