Denzel Boston is noted as a first-round wide receiver addition to the Browns offense alongside Conception. The panel discusses how adding quality receivers (Boston, Conception, and potentially improved Jerry Judy) changes the offensive dynamic for tight end Harold Fanden, as offenses typically don't run through the tight end when receivers are strong.
