Will Andrew Berry strike before the start of the new league year?

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.

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. We were Voted best podcast by Cleveland Magazine readers!

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.

The Browns roster is in good shape with the draft approaching but, just like any other roster in the NFL, it has question marks. Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe discuss their remaining concerns with the roster and the things they're keeping an eye on. They discuss the state of the defensive line and if there's room for the Browns to find more pass rush help. They also get into the wide receiver room and the production they expect from Jerry Jeudy and Elijah Moore plus the guys behind them. Then they look at the linebacker position to determine if there's enough there and if it even matters that much in Jim Schwartz's scheme. We were Voted best podcast by Cleveland Magazine readers!
