The Browns have decisions to make at quarterback this offseason and the biggest one is how they will approach the position in the 2025 NFL Draft.

With the No. 2 overall pick, they will have a shot at one of the Top 2 of Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders or they can maneuver around and find another quarterback. Is there a quarterback in this draft that can win in the NFL?

Mary Kay Cabot and Dan Labbe start a Hey, Mary Kay! edition of the Orange and Brown Talk podcast by talking about the top quarterbacks in the draft and what the Browns should do.

They also talk about Sanders and how Deion Sanders' presence might impact the Browns' decision-making and other topics, including the most memorable quarterbacks the Browns have had since 1999.

Let’s be honest: everyone has quarterbacks on the brain when it comes to the Browns and this Hey, Mary Kay! edition of the Orange and Brown Talk podcast is no different.

Mary Kay Cabot and Dan Labbe start the podcast, however, by talking offensive coordinator candidates and how this search could shake out.

Then they dive into the Deshaun Watson situation and if there’s anything to the idea that the Browns could try and get some of the guaranteed money back if his re-rupture of his Achilles occurred while doing something he shouldn’t have been doing.

There’s a draft, too, by the way, and the Browns have the No. 2 pick. Is there a quarterback worth taking No. 2 overall in this draft and do the Browns have to take a quarterback?

The Browns are seeking a new identity and the pieces are in place for them to find it after two big events on Sunday.

First, they fired offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey, opening the door for them to return to a familiar identity while also trying to find someone who can help them remake their offense and quarterback room this offseason.

The other development is they landed the No. 2 pick in the draft after the Patriots beat the Bills on Sunday. This sets up the opportunity to either pick a quarterback or take someone who can help their quarterback succeed.

Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe recap the entire day in Berea on the latest edition of the Orange and Brown Talk podcast. They talk about potentially going back to a familiar scheme and if they should before they talk about the approach at quarterback and if they have to take one at No. 2.
