Orange and Brown Talk: Cleveland Browns Podcast episodes
- Dueling big boards kick off Browns 2026 NFL Draft season
The Orange and Brown Talk podcast kicks off the 2026 NFL Draft season as Dan Labbe reunites the draft crew, Tim Bielik and Lance Reisland.
This episode features dueling big boards, where Tim and Lance go head-to-head, unveiling their Top 10 prospects in a back-and-forth format.
While both experts agree that Ohio State safety Caleb Downs is the consensus No. 1 player, the boards branch off from there.
The episode also includes the usual tangents: Should the Browns select the best player available if Downs falls to them at pick No. 6, or is it more critical to trade down and address significant offensive needs like left tackle and wide receiver?
They get into other top-tier talents, including versatile linebacker Arvell Reese, explosive playmaker Jeremiyah Love and top quarterback prospect Fernando Mendoza.
They break down the strengths and weaknesses of the premier offensive linemen and wide receivers in the class, comparing players like Carnell Tate, Makai Lemon, Francis Mauigoa, and Monroe Freeling.

1 hr 16 min - The Browns rebuilt their O-line, but did they fix it?
The Browns have been busy this offseason, completely remaking their offensive line. On this episode of the Orange and Brown Talk podcast, Dan Labbe welcomes Lance Reisland to break down all the moves.
Lance dives into the film on the new additions, including right tackle Tytus Howard, guard Zion Johnson and the versatile Elgton Jenkins.
They start by looking back at what went wrong with the line last season, from injuries and a lack of identity to the ongoing quest to replace Bill Callahan. Lance explains how this new group differs from the maulers of the past, focusing more on technique, leverage and savvy play rather than pure brute force. He discusses the importance of availability and how these new players bring a different, more functional approach to the trenches.
They discuss the impact of new offensive line coach George Warhop and why his veteran experience is crucial. They also look ahead to the NFL Draft, debating who the Browns might target if they decide to take a tackle at pick No. 6 or a guard at No. 24.
(Please note: This episode was recorded before any decision was made by Joel Bitonio regarding his future.)

39 min - What are the Browns really doing at quarterback? Hey, Mary Kay!
On a Hey, Mary Kay! edition of the Orange and Brown Talk podcast, Mary Kay Cabot and Dan Labbe tackle the latest Browns buzz, including former receiver Jarvis Landry.
Landry's recent podcast comments about his time in Cleveland and former coach Kevin Stefanski have stirred up debate. Mary Kay provides context to the 2021 season and the dynamics in the building.
They also get into the upcoming NFL Draft.
With Ohio State continuing to produce elite receivers, should that success influence the Browns to draft Carnell Tate at No. 6? They discuss the increasing value of top-tier receivers on rookie contracts.
The draft talk naturally leads to the quarterback position. Should the Browns give Shedeur Sanders the starting job to see what they have, or could a prospect like Alabama's Ty Simpson be a surprise pick?
They break down the potential quarterback battle between Sanders and Deshaun Watson and what it means for the franchise moving forward.

53 min - Smart or settling: Is the Browns’ offseason approach right?
On the latest Orange and Brown Talk podcast, Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe get into the second wave of the Browns' free agency moves.
Mary Kay runs down the list of recent additions, including defensive linemen Kalia Davis and A.J. Epenesa, and they analyzes what these depth signings signal about the team's overall strategy.
The discussion then shifts to the bigger picture. With a Super Bowl-caliber defense, are the Browns making a mistake by not being more aggressive to add offensive firepower?
They debate whether the team is being wisely pragmatic or potentially wasting a prime window. They explore the wide range of possible outcomes for the upcoming season, the impact of the salary cap and the front office's apparent shift to a draft-and-develop philosophy.
Finally, they break down the Browns' unique proposal to the NFL to allow teams to trade draft picks five years into the future. They discuss the NBA-style thinking behind the proposal and how it reflects Andrew Berry's progressive approach to team building.

On today’s Orange and Brown Talk podcast, Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe get into four Browns questions.
Inspired by March Madness, they debate who would join Myles Garrett and Denzel Ward as the four No. 1 seeds in a 64-player roster bracket. Are the other top players established veterans or impressive rookies?
Next, they look into their crystal ball to predict which under-the-radar player will be a major topic of conversation by November. Could it be a speedy receiver or a versatile weapon?

Finally, they try to identify the next fan-favorite cult hero, searching for the player ready to capture the hearts of Browns fans.

47 min - First impressions of the Browns’ new additions: Quincy Williams, Tytus Howard and a rebuilt line
On this episode of the Orange and Brown Talk podcast, Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe break down their first impressions of the newest Browns after hearing from them in their introductory press conferences.
First, they dive into linebacker Quincy Williams. What did they make of his energetic cheetah mentality and his dynamic personality? They discuss how Williams, with a massive chip on his shoulder after a frustrating final year with the Jets, could thrive in Mike Rutenberg's defensive system. They explore if he could have a career revival similar to other veterans who have joined this defense.
Then, the focus shifts to the rebuilt offensive line and new right tackle Tytus Howard. Mary Kay was surprised by his high praise for rookie Shedeur Sanders, especially given his history blocking for Deshaun Watson during his best seasons. The hosts analyze what his comments mean for the quarterback room and discuss the leadership Howard and Elgton Jenkins will bring to this new line.
Finally, they look at the Browns' overall strategy of blending veteran experience with an exceptionally young roster before a tangent about a meteor and Bigfoot sightings in Northeast Ohio.

34 min - Offense or defense? Breaking down the Browns’ No. 6 pick
The Browns hold the No. 6 pick in the NFL Draft, but their decision might not be as straightforward as it looks.
On this Hey Mary Kay! edition of the Orange and Brown Talk podcast, Mary Kay Cabot and Dan Labbe cover everything from the Browns’ NFL Draft, to quarterback plans and the offseason program.
Will Andrew Berry go offense or defense with the No. 6 pick? While a tackle or receiver seems like the logical choice, could a top-rated defensive player like Caleb Downs or Arvell Reese be too good to pass up?
They discuss the unpredictability of the Browns' front office and the very real possibility of trading down to acquire future assets, especially with an eye on next year's quarterback class.
The conversation then shifts to the revamped offensive line.
With Tytus Howard confirming he's the right tackle, what does the future hold for Dawand Jones?
They also break down the versatility of players like Elgton Jenkins and the ongoing questions at center and guard.
Plus, they get into the quarterback competition between Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders, how Todd Monken will build his new scheme around his starter and why this year's offseason program is more critical than ever.

27 min - Shedeur Sanders’ opportunity, O-line rebuild and the plan at No. 6: Hey, Mary Kay!
On this Hey, Mary Kay! edition of the Orange and Brown Talk podcast, Mary Kay Cabot and Dan Labbe dive into questions from Football Insider subscribers following the first wave of free agency.
They start by analyzing the Browns' revamped offensive line. While PFF grades for the new additions may be concerning, Mary Kay and Dan explain why the collective fit is more important than individual ratings and discuss how Joel Bitonio’s pending retirement decision impacts the team’s plans.
The conversation then shifts to the pivotal quarterback situation. They explore the ideal scenario for the Browns: Shedeur Sanders seizing the starting role and proving he’s the franchise quarterback, a “lottery ticket” outcome that would solve many future problems. This is contrasted with the complicated decisions the team would face if Deshaun Watson returns to form.
Finally, they look ahead to the NFL Draft, debating whether the Browns will take the best player available at pick No. 6. They discuss which positions the team views as premium and whether they should target a game-changing wide receiver, a trench player or another position entirely to elevate the roster.
