The NFL Draft kicks off on Thursday night and we're getting you ready with a full first round mock draft.
For the third year in a row, the Orange and Brown Talk and Buckeye Talk crews got together and made every pick in the first round. Nathan Baird, Tim Bielik, Andrew Gillis, Dan Labbe, Stephen Means and Jimmy Watkins were all assigned teams and they worked their way through the first 32 picks, making trades and filling needs along the way.
While the first pick was a no-brainer, things got interesting after that and included discussions on Justin Fields in Pittsburgh and which Buckeyes player could be the first to go in their class next year.

NFL Draft first round mock: We make all 32 picks

The Browns will kick off their last of three straight years without a first-round pick this week, going on the clock on Friday night in the second round. They don't have as much draft capital to work with this year as in years past, so there are plenty of options on the table for GM Andrew Berry in his fifth draft.
Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe look ahead to this week's draft by making predictions for the Browns.
What will they do with their first pick? Could they take a quarterback? What about those two seventh rounders? Check out their predictions on Monday's Orange and Brown Talk Podcast.

3 Browns predictions for the 2024 NFL Draft

Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson is attempting to come back from an injury this season and has played in just 12 games in two seasons since the Browns acquired him. Is this the year he returns to the elite level the Browns hoped for when they acquired him? Will he at least be a Top 10 quarterback?
Mary Kay Cabot and Dan Labbe start a Hey, Mary Kay! edition of the Orange and Brown Talk Podcast by answering those questions about Watson before answering another about what it would actually take for the Browns to decide to move on from Watson.
Then they answer a question about the Browns record next season and discuss a couple of draft questions about what positions the Browns value in the draft and if linebacker and defensive tackle are in play.

Will Deshaun Watson be elite again in 2024? Hey, Mary Kay!

We spent our first two draft podcasts discussing specific positions. First it was wide receivers and tight ends, then it was defensive linemen. Today, on our final draft podcast, we open it up to everything else.
Cleveland.com's draft expert Tim Bielik and film expert Lance Reisland join the Orange and Brown Talk Podcast for our third draft preview, focusing on whichever players they want to throw out as options for the Browns when they go on the clock next week.
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 are some names to remember for the Browns in the NFL Draft?

Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson dropped some hints about the new-look offense during his press conference on Tuesday. He mentioned how it will help the wide receivers and him with new coordinator Ken Dorsey in the fold along with Kevin Stefanski.
Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe start the Wednesday Orange and Brown Talk Podcast by discussing what Watson said about the offense and who they think will call plays.
Then they spend time talking about the secondary. Denzel Ward called it the best in the league on Tuesday while Greg Newsome II talked about how he wants to remain a part of the Browns for a long time. They get into what both players had to say.
