Ahmani Marshall
NegativeDepth Chart9:32
Ammani Marshall is a depth chart player in the running back room, serving as a holdover from the previous year's practice squad.
Insight pageCedric Tillman
NegativeDepth Chart14:37
Cedric Tillman is currently working with the third-string units in training camp and is considered a roster bubble candidate. Hartitz notes he is not viewed as highly as rookie Denzel Boston and expects the Browns to trade Tillman if an opportunity arises.
Insight pageDenzel Boston
PositiveBreakout4:54
Denzel Boston is a breakout rookie wide receiver and an undoubted star of the spring. He is identified as the team's primary outside perimeter, red zone, and sideline wide receiver, expected to be a long-term fixture on the roster. He is noted for his lean explosiveness and ability to use his size effectively, with Zack Jackson highlighting a developing connection with Shedeur Sanders on perimeter throws.
Insight pageDylan Sampson
NegativeRole8:29
Ian Hartitz does not view Dylan Samson as a fantasy RB2, describing him as a small, role-specific player. While Samson offers efficiency as a pass-catcher and will contribute on third downs and kick returns, his limited stature prevents him from achieving a bell-cow workload or the ceiling of a workhorse like Quinshon Judkins.
Insight pageHarold Fannin
PositiveBreakout2:15
Harold Fannon is a high-upside target and the significant favorite to lead the Browns in targets and receptions. He is a focal point of the offense who excels after the catch, with Zack Jackson noting Shedeur Sanders has made smart decisions targeting him in camp. While he is a priority draft target for Ian Hartitz, managers should note he is not a traditional TE1, as he will likely be required to block on approximately 60% of snaps to support the run-heavy usage of Quinshon Judkins.
Insight pageJerry Jeudy
NegativeValue10:07
Jerry Jeudy is a fade for Ian Hartitz, who expresses regret over drafting him too much during the summer. Despite being drafted in the 16th or 17th round of baseball drafts and expected to see first-read targets, Jeudy has struggled significantly in training camp, specifically getting schooled by Denzel Ward. Concerns persist regarding his consistency and overall performance.
Insight pageQuinshon Judkins
PositiveBreakout8:33
Quinshon Judkins is a top-tier talent in the 2025 rookie class and the clear primary running back for the Browns, described by Ian Hartitz as physically superior to his peers. He appears fully recovered from his previous injury and looks explosive, with some observers drawing stylistic comparisons to Nick Chubb. While his production will depend on opportunity and game script, he has the potential to be a workhorse back.
Insight pageTaylen Green
PositiveRole7:13
Tailen Green is currently fourth on the depth chart and viewed as a developmental project, but his elite combine athleticism makes him an intriguing fantasy prospect. There is a potential scenario where he is active for games to serve as a short-yardage or running-back-style weapon, similar to the gadget role previously held by Harold Fannon, though he is likely a year away from competing for a starting quarterback role.
Insight pageTucker Kraft
NegativeUsage18:53
Tucker Kraft is highlighted as a fun, exciting tight end to watch, specifically noted for his ability to avoid tackles.

0:00What's going on everybody? Today we're breaking down five of the biggest questions facing the Cleveland Browns ahead of the 2026 season with Ace Browns
0:07beat reporter Zack Jackson. You can find all of his great work over at The Athletic Akan Jackson on the old Twitter
0:13sphere. Happy training camp, Zack.
0:15>> Yeah, man. Good to be here. Good to be back. I I think it was like last year around this time I was in a bar. That's
0:20probably stunning. And I was talking football. That's probably stunning. And there was this kid, I don't know, young adult I guess, hanging around and like
0:27he didn't want to butt in, but he comes up to me and he goes, "Dude, do you know Ian Artitz?" And I'm like, "Hell yeah,
0:32great day to be great." And then he walked away and we didn't talk anymore, but uh yeah, football is almost back.
0:38So, um right down the road from me in Canton, Ohio, like two or three days. I don't know what day it is, but uh we're
0:44we're we're getting ready to have actual partial football back.
0:49I appreciate Zach in a world full of be reporters who again try to have those rosecolored glasses on. I do think you
0:55do a better job of a lot of being a little more realistic about the standings. Obviously being with the Cleveland Browns makes that maybe a
1:02little bit easier than the other ones.
1:03So I understand everyone neither of us are here to tell you the Browns could be his top five juggernaut offense. But
1:08guess what? We still see plenty of great fantasy players come from even more mediocre offenses. And maybe just maybe this guy Tom Muk could help things out.
1:15But obviously Zach starts at the top of everything. QB situation. It's been a mess kind of forever. Shout out to my
1:21dude Bernie Kart back in the day. But Deshawn Watson, Shador Sanders against kind of the Mclovin Mohamd competition going on. Is there any hope for
1:30something better than just mediocre play under center? And how do you see this competition playing out?
1:35>> Well, the hope for anything better than mediocre would be that the young receivers do look really good and and Harold Fannon is really good. So, like
1:42from a fantasy standpoint, yeah, maybe.
1:45like and I think totally no doubt there's really good young players on this team on both sides of the ball. I
1:51think a hotter take, a wilder take would be maybe it's not going to be a fantasy wasteland because they have good young
1:57players and I think they're going to be losing a lot too.
2:00>> Um but as far as the quarterback, this is the hard one for me for for a lot of reasons is that even entertaining the
2:07thought of putting Deshun Watson on the field as a non-starter for me, right?
2:10Like you are not winning the Super Bowl.
2:11You are probably not making the playoffs. This is the guy that sunk the franchise. So why even go? He's only on
2:17the roster because you can't afford to cut him. So get ready for next year.
2:21Play the young guy. The more gifted young guy is Shador Sanders and and see what happens. So I think it's headed
2:27that way because through the late spring and just now barely a week into camp, Deshawn has been so bad. Like he he has
2:34been so so so so bad that it's reinforced my thoughts. So long way to go. Um, you know, five or six days into
2:41camp, I would say Shador is leading. I wouldn't say he's winning, right? But he's leading. And I I do think in
2:47fairness that he's shown some improvement. Uh, he is an accurate thrower of the ball. And he last year did the smart thing and threw it to
2:54Harold Fannon in camp this year. He's done a lot of smart things and thrown it to the perimeter to Denzel Boston. So
2:59like he's coming along and to me, if the Browns do anything other than put him out there and let him grow and let them
3:05find out what they have, then they are just wasting everyone's time.
3:08certainly flashed a few times last year.
3:10Titans game was a lot of fun. You know, horrible weather, inexplicably getting 60 plus points, getting scored in that one. Made a couple nice deep throws. So,
3:17I'm with you. Always would like to see the younger guy went out. I did see something interesting. I think it was an
3:22interview with Deshawn a couple months ago where he was saying he felt like he was back to 100% which again coming off
3:28not one but two Achilles ruptures. Just sounded wild to me. Have you seen anything close to kind of that pre-shoulder, pre- Achilles version of
3:36Deshawn athletically at least?
3:38>> No. I think he definitely looked healthy and fresh in the spring and and that showed up because he is a good athlete.
3:43Is he the same athlete? I would doubt it. You know, can he stay healthy once he takes a hit? I I don't know. Uh I'm
3:49not a doctor.
3:51>> You know, he he he will occasionally make a good throw. And I think even through the three years that he played,
3:56there were some moments, but man, it's almost always followed up with like this inexplicable decision. Like he threw six picks in the first four days of of camp
4:05and people got excited. They weren't all his fault, right? But two of them he there were three defenders there and he
4:09just threw it and one of them caught it.
4:11>> Like it's it's bad. He he just doesn't process and he just has not been consistently good at anything and there's just no point in playing it. If
4:20he has an NFL future, and I doubt that he does, it's not in Cleveland. So, why are the Browns even entertaining the
4:25thought? Tells me they must not like their other options or they're just the Browns and it's it's the latest inexplicable thing that they're going to
4:32do.
4:33>> Any thoughts? Any propaganda on Tailen Green? This is someone who blew up the combine and hey, in fantasy land, we
4:39love quarterbacks who can run the football, you know, how good they are in real life. Be damned.
4:43>> Yeah, you know, I I I'm afraid that people aren't going to get that preseason fantasy big game out of Tail
4:48and Green because they have to play the other guys, right? Um, I think he is getting comfortable and he's certainly intriguing. He's not getting many reps
4:55now because he's fourth in line and they see him as a development. So, they love the kid. They love the upside. There's a
5:01scenario where he's active for games and plays as a running back and a short yardage guy. Uh, but I think they plan
5:07to develop him and really this is kind of like year zero for him and then next year regardless of what it looks like
5:12the rest of the quarterback room will be his chance to show that he can be an NFL quarterback. But I think there's a
5:18thought on that organization that Talon Green will help them win a game at some point, but will that be as a starting
5:23quarterback? Um, probably not. And right now that's like galaxies away from happening.
5:29>> Interesting though, short package. I know they used Herold Fannon a little bit in that last year and obviously, you know, don't want to take the ball out of
5:35his hands either, but I mean that would be a fun spot there for Tailon Green.
5:38Obviously though, running the football, we want to be going to the bell cow.
5:42Quinn Sean Judkins look fantastic. I've said like I think if we made an alien who had never watched football before watch all these running backs in the
5:492025 rookie class they might very well say Judkins was the best of the group. I mean especially before you know the
5:54second half of the season really was doing good things from your just point of view like having watching practice does he seem all the way back to 100%
6:01coming off that devastating injury?
6:03>> Yeah he seems healthy he seems explosive. So I I agree he's a very talented player and it's a question of
6:08good or great. It's not a question of if you know with any running back it's what's your opportunity? Who's blocking for you? what what game script are you
6:14in? All of those things. But just like from a physical standpoint, it was clearly there last year. He didn't have training camp, which is why he couldn't
6:21play in the past game. And I think that's an important note for fantasy nerds to know this year. But like just
6:26seeing him kind of ahead of schedule back in May and now seeing him, you wouldn't know that that there was an
6:31injury. So I think he's so much better than the other guys. I think what it's going to come down to for the Browns is
6:36a difficult decision on how much to use him. And if they're in a game early in the season that their defense has kept
6:42him in, I'd think he let it rip. Now, over the course of the season, we'll see. But like, if this dude stays
6:47healthy, he's going to produce. And a couple times last year, you heard the Nick Chub thing turn, you know, thrown out there. Um, some of the Vikings
6:54players actually said it after the London game, and I I thought it at times. So, that's getting way ahead, but like he's a top level exploder, and um,
7:05you know, as he adds to his game, which just going through a training camp, my dog needs to shut up. She's so excited
7:09about some questioned him in the third round. Yeah. So, um yeah. So, like yeah, you know, is he going to play 16 games? I I don't know.
7:20But like, is he going to get volume when he plays? Absolutely. And I'm excited to see where where it goes.
7:26>> The pass down skill set's interesting because he never looked out of, you know, position catching the football during his time at Old Miss and then
7:33Ohio State. Even last year, you know, some of the dump downs they would throw him on play action and stuff. It seemed
7:37fine. Don Samson though is someone a lot of us fantasy nerds and virgins are looking at and you know he broke off
7:42some of these screens. He had he has some really good like per route efficiency numbers all right that honestly put him near the top of the
7:47class though. But I did notice you say like Judkins just does seem to be in a different stratosphere than these guys.
7:52Could you see Monin leaning on Judkins more so as that true three down workhorse whereas last year it was at least a little bit more Dylan Samson on
8:00passdowns?
8:01>> Yeah, I think I could. Uh I don't know because we're too early in that, right?
8:04and they're still installing the offense and trying to get reps for for everybody.
8:09>> Um Dylan Samson to me is not an RB2.
8:11He's a specific role guy. He's tiny.
8:13Now, he's quick, but he's tiny. So, um you know, I think it's it's Quinchan Judkins and then it's everybody else.
8:19Dylan Samson's going to be on the team.
8:21He's going to return kicks. He's going to be a third down back, but like if Quinshan would miss time or as this
8:25offense evolves, I don't know what's there. You know, I think Rocket Sanders is the emergency option. I think he will make the team. Uh, and if you know,
8:33assuming health, those those will be the three. But Dylan Samson's just so much different than those guys. And this is no knock on Samson and Sanders, who I
8:41think have a chance to like be decent NFL players. Quinn Sean's just so much better than all of them. Like he he just
8:47is. So you have to keep him healthy and you have to find the best way to use him.
8:52>> Interesting. So Samson not even if he is a second man up in RB drills, you're saying you would expect a little bit
8:58more of a committee as opposed to like Samson stepping into some sort of a bell role without >> I think I think he if I have this right
9:05he was the youngest player in the whole NFL last year and he's also one of the smallest players like he's t so like you
9:11see it the quickness you're like okay that that's why they took a chance on him but like what does that really
9:17translate to over the you know to me it just translates to a specific role and we'll see Um, you know, Quincan did not
9:24do any of the team stuff in the spring.
9:26They were just bringing him along and and usually it was Rocket Sanders getting getting that and they and they have, you know, a guy named Ammani
9:33Marshall who's a hold over from the practice squad last year. They did sign another smaller back in undrafted free agency. The name is escaping me. So,
9:41you're like you're seeing these guys get their turn and like I said, my my just conclusion is just that Quinn John
9:45Juggins is just like better than all of them combined.
9:48>> Hey man, makes sense. Again, we're always looking for those mid round bell cows. So good stuff on Judkins. Maybe pump the brakes a little bit on the
9:54assumption everyone on Samson being that surefire next man up. Let's talk about the breakout guys though. You had a great tweet yesterday that Casey
10:01Conception and Denzel Boston already miles. Wait, Galaxy is better than any of the other wide receivers. And I'm a little bit offended, Zach, cuz I spent
10:08too much of my summer drafting Jerry Judy. I was thinking maybe he can get traded to. So we'll see what happens.
10:12I'm I'll go down with the ship, whatever. But man, what has it been about these pair of rookies that again just have you so impressed?
10:18>> Yeah. Well, Boston, it's the size, right? Right. And then he didn't run the combine. And like I'm just going to be
10:23honest with you, like I kind of assumed he was this huge like lumbering dude and they were just going to throw him passes
10:28on the outside and he's not like he he's lean and he's fairly explosive. So he's he's got a long way to go, but like from
10:35the very start he they've thrown him the ball and like you see him use the size.
10:40He's not just big, right? And and like he he was the undoubted star of the spring uh at a time they're not
10:47completing a lot of passes. and Conpsion U, he's lightning, so he's tiny and he dropped a couple in the spring. He
10:54dropped too many in college, but like five days into camp, man, he's been all over the place. So, the ball is going to
11:00be in his hands. He's going to return punts. He's going to run jet sweeps.
11:03They're going to force him touches. Uh, but like he's a pretty good route runner. And, you know, they didn't know how was they figured they were starting
11:11offensive line, right? They didn't know what exact trade down would come. Kind of Caleb DS was was the emergency, but they wanted to get Spencer Fono. They
11:19made a trade. They did >> right away. They wanted Casey Conpsion.
11:23Like they wanted him. Mai Lemon was out there. Other guys were out there. That's who they wanted. And for some reason, if
11:29that wouldn't have worked out, they would have drafted Boston at 24. They ended up getting him 15 picks later. So I that doesn't that's not super telling
11:36because you start playing that what if game and you can change a lot of things, right? But like these are the guys that
11:42they went through the process. They were like, "Okay, we'd love to have Carnell Tate. We're probably not going to get him." The other guys we're not sure on.
11:48This is who we want and and that's who they went and got.
11:52>> Now with Casey, obviously there's been a lot of kind of parallels to him and Zay Flowers just with again them being these
11:56jitterbug super agile dudes. And I love what you said about the jet sweeps, getting these design touches for the guy because obviously he is electric with
12:03the ball in his hands. first round pick though, I would hope that he's still very much gonna be a starting every down
12:09wide receiver getting gadget touches.
12:11Not someone we have to worry about being, you know, more of a part-time player.
12:14>> Yeah. Yeah. He's going to have those touches and he's going to be on the field. I just don't know what they're
12:18going to do personnel wise because especially if Watson plays, it's going to be a lot of heavy personnel and like just protect him from himself, right? So
12:27like isn't Judy going like 16th round or 17th round in baseball?
12:31>> It's so late, man.
12:31>> It's so late. And so I don't hate now he's he's not very good at football and that's one of the problems. [laughter]
12:37Okay. But he's going to play like when they are out there in September. Jerry Judy is going to play a lot of the snaps
12:43and a lot of the snaps at outside receiver and a lot of the first read it.
12:46What what he's going to do with that I don't know. But but as they go forward, Boston is most definitely that outside
12:53perimeter, you know, red zone sideline wide receiver. And Conpsion is going to be in a bunch of different places. So, he's going to have the touches. He's
13:02going to have the volume. Like, again, I if you're a fantasy player and you're scared of the Browns, I get it. But like
13:09in that, you know, past the 10th round or in the 10th, like >> as your fourth wide receiver, like this guy's going to get volume and he's going
13:18to score some touchdowns. Now, are they going to score 15 touchdowns as a pass offense the whole year? I don't know.
13:24But like, Casey Conpion's going to have opportunities to make big plays. No doubt about it.
13:30I know you're not sitting in the GM's office. You're going out there and you're just again writing fantastic stuff for the Athletic, doing your
13:36thing. Could you see a scenario though where if Isaiah Bond is coming up a little bit, KC is playing well, Boston's
13:41going well. Like, do you have a percentage chance or just like a gut feel? Like, is Jerry Judy still going to
13:46be on the Browns at the end of this year?
13:47>> Well, he's only on right now because they can't afford to trade him. So, down the road once they make some decisions
13:53and know the path like if if someone's willing to give a seven for him, sure.
13:57uh you know, but yeah, he this is probably his last year. Sorry, I was kind of getting ahead of myself talking
14:02October here. Isaiah Bond is interesting and he definitely had a big spring. Now, he he really didn't have much of a
14:07training camp either.
14:08>> He's gifted. Um I would say he's not as good as Conpion and they probably play the same position. So, I think he's
14:14going to get chances and he got a couple last year. Um Shador threw threw him a couple bombs. So, that'll be there. But
14:20again, we're we're still figuring out what this offense is going to look like because Fannon wasn't there in the spring and he missed a day for personal
14:28reasons early. Uh Boston and Conpion are undoubtedly going to play and how everybody else fits and where they are, I don't know. Like Cedric Tilman is
14:37having a good camp because he's out there killing the threes. You know, he he and Dylan Gabriel should not be out
14:42there with the threes. So the Browns have upgraded that and Cedric Tilman might be on somebody else's roster, but he's not as good as Denzel Boston. And
14:48then Denzel Boston's going to be on this team for a long time till men's in the last year of his contract. So the I know
14:54the rookies are going to play and I know Judy's going to play early, but what it looks like in October, I we really don't
15:00have an idea because it's a brand new offense and they're just trying to get everybody up to speed. But Bond's talent
15:05has shown up and I think there's probably worse like last round flyers than him, but he's not as good as Conception. So I where his opportunities
15:13really come remains to be seen.
15:15Cedric Tilman, man. Those four weeks from what, 2023? Hell of a drug. People forget.
15:20>> But what happened is they didn't have a real NFL offense when Watson was in there.
15:24>> Yeah.
15:24>> So, as soon as Jamus came in and started throwing the ball down the field, like guys started making plays. [laughter]
15:29>> Funny how that works.
15:30>> And the thing with Jerry Judy in in full fairness, like he's done it. He's just never done it consistently. But even if
15:36you take away that Monday night game where he went mega nuclear, like he's got hundred yard games. He's got 70 yard
15:41touchdowns. He just does the dumb like last year when he fumbled the ball in in Las Vegas, you know, and like he
15:48is getting so schooled by Denzel Ward at training camp. So, we're all watching the quarterbacks, right? Well, every throw that goes to the outside to Jerry
15:54Judy goes incomplete because Denzel Ward just is absolutely a phenomenal football player and Jerry Judy isn't.
15:59>> Yeah.
16:01Congrats to Ward on getting absolutely paid here recently. Certainly deserves that. So, Judy, it's just one of those things where you look at the receivers
16:07with,200 plus yards in the last two years. Most of them go in the top 15 because they're awesome. Brian Thomas Jr. is a little bit later and to your
16:14point, Judy's like round 16. So at some point they do become a value, but really does sound like Casey Conception is
16:20going to be again probably the guy we're chasing mostly in fantasy football drafts. Accordingly, you guys are trying to get that leg up. Code Ian 20 for all
16:27of our rotorwire tools, rankings, draft assistance, all that jazz. Appreciate you guys hanging out. Harold Fannon though, let's face it, probably should
16:34be the star of the show. I love the, you know, there's a great account out there called Coach Speak Index. that actually
16:39goes through watches all the press conferences and tries to kind of put a grade on exactly you know what coaches are telling the truth when they're
16:45talking about usage and not but it was just you know talking to Monk and it was like hey do you see Harold Fannon being
16:50a big part of it and he immediately was like the Kool-Aid man oh yeah Harold Fannon is going to be a big part of this
16:54offense how does he look coming off the offseason groin surgery and do you see him potentially being the leader in the
16:59clubhouse to again lead this team in receptions >> yes yes and yes um that's how I see it again we don't know um and it's been
17:06kind of a slowish start to him now Monday, he was the guy getting it and I think he's going to get all those
17:11opportunities. But he looks good. I I just think it's a matter of getting on the same page. Like if you don't play
17:16for months, it's it's hard to get in there. But he definitely um came back stronger. He doesn't look slow or anything. He he's he just turned 22 like
17:24two weeks ago, [laughter] right? And and played in the Mid-American Conference.
17:28So that was my thing with Harold Fannon last year is I knew he was good and I was high on him. I just didn't know how
17:34it was going to go, right? Nooku was the starter. it wasn't going to be a good offense. This is a 21-year-old third
17:39round pick. Like, we we got to figure it out. And then he was out there early with the ones and they were lining him
17:44up at fullback and quarterback and I was like, man, are are they desperate? And and they were, but really soon my answer
17:51was they just trying to get this guy on the field and get him the ball in any way that they can. So, um yeah, I think
17:57to me he's still the significant favorite to lead the team in targets and receptions. No doubt. And um I'm going to speak my language. I'm not going to
18:06speak yours. And I I play baseball to an extent. I don't hold any any like delusions that I'm great at it, right?
18:13But I think I've drafted six or seven teams. And the other day I was listening to a fantasy podcast and I logged on
18:18just to see cuz people were getting in an argument about like who had who. And >> there's one player that I've drafted on
18:24like 70% of those teams that I've drafted and nobody else at like 20%. And guess who that player is? Harold Fannon.
18:31Because to me, he's going way way way too low. like he he he is he is really really really good after
18:38the catch. He's a big target. The quarterbacks trust him and if he becomes the focal point of this offense, it would not be a surprise to me at all.
18:47>> He just led the whole position and tackles avoided and it wasn't particularly natural. Him, >> oh my god, him, Tucker Craft, Darnell
18:55Washington, they're so fun to watch, man. Football should be fun, too.
18:58Listen, four years ago, this dude was a high school safety who played receiver and played a little quarterback and he Big 10 wanted him and they wanted him to
19:07play safety. Some of them wanted to put on weight and play defensive end, right?
19:10And and because the way a couple things went, Bowling Green got him and made him a tight end. And then even when the big
19:15schools came with like the million dollars, his coach basically said, >> "They're they're not ready. Like, we need you here and you can turn down this
19:23million now and you're going to make many millions later." and and it was right. And like I said, he just turned
19:2922 like the week before they showed up for camp.
19:32>> I got to start drafting more Herald fan myself. One of the things I did look at this offseason, Zach, which should make
19:37you feel better about that exposure is just what positions can do better. I'm bad or like bottom 10 scoring offenses.
19:43There's been 30 combined like top 12 dudes at quarterback, running back, wide receiver. Bottom 10 scoring offenses do their thing. 24 tight ends alone, which
19:51I think kind of makes sense. You know, your entire passing game is flowing through a tight end. you're playing from behind. Yeah, we just saw with Trenic
19:57Pride last year.
19:58>> Yeah, I think in full fairness like Shador did some good things and Shador did some bad things last year. And you
20:03know, >> how dare you have a rational, [laughter] >> but one of the smartest things he did is he locked in on Harold Fannon. Like he
20:10recognized it right away and he knew, hey, whe whether he trusts what he saw or was comfortable with anything else, like he knew this defense is coming at
20:18me and I'm looking for 44.
20:21>> Zack, fantastic stuff. Again, everyone can and should go find yourself over at the Athletic. have fun continuing to cover Browns training camp. Anything
20:27else you want to get off your chest, my friend?
20:29>> No, it's too early. Um, like I said, we're just kind of figuring this out and I don't know how it's going to go. I do
20:35expect that they'll trade Cedric Tilman if the opportunity, you know, presents itself. I don't know what happens with like a tight end two situation here with
20:43the Browns. And I I I don't you know, you're not going to play Fannon as like a true tight end one and have him
20:48blocking 60% of the time because they're going to run Judkins a lot. So, like what position does he end up playing and
20:53and who who do they have on the field?
20:55We're just too early to know that. But like I said, I I'm down on this team and they should be playing for the future.
21:01But in terms of like good young players, they have a bunch of them. A bunch of them. 21-year-old Conpsion, 22-year-old Boston, 22-y old Fannon, 22-y old
21:10Judkins. And that's before you get to the defense where Carson Swinger's defensive rookie of the year, >> right? So, like there's a potentially a
21:18bright future for the Browns. But I've covered a lot of Browns quarterback competitions and in a weekend this is as bad as I've ever seen. Like it is
21:27dreadful. So it's just a weekend and and preseason doesn't start for 10 days or something like that, but it's dreadful so far.
21:36>> I do hear you on the overall roster building. The last two draft classes have been nice. I think the Travis
21:41Hunter and Miles Garrett trades, you really couldn't ask for getting more back, you know.
21:45>> Absolutely. People are excited about the Miles Garrett trade. Now, the reality is you had to make it because Watson sunk
21:50the ship, right? And the reality of this quarterback competition is it's the guy that sunk the franchise versus a guy who
21:56if he gets a lot better can be an average quarterback. So, temper your expectations, but like if I the next best ball draft I do, I'm going to stare
22:04at Judkins really early because if he can stay healthy even if they stink, like he's going to have the ball all the
22:11time and he's explosive.
22:13>> Judkins, Bellcow, everyone, Harold Phantom, focal point of the offense.
22:17Casey Conception, Denzo Boston flashing and if the quarterback competition is to be believed, maybe, just maybe, Shor Sanders is the one we should actually be
22:24expecting to be starting from the beginning to the end of the year. But again, Zack, thank you so much.
