- π‘ Other candidates like Jason Tarver, the linebackers coach, and several others were interviewed, indicating a thorough process.
Haslam Sports Group President Responds

NFL Draft Wide Receiver Sleepers
- π The video highlights potential sleeper wide receiver picks for the Browns, focusing on big targets 6'3" and taller for the red zone.
- π Ted Hurst (Georgia State, 6'3"), Malachi Fields (Notre Dame, 6'4"), and Chris Brazelle II (Tennessee, 6'5") are discussed as potential second or third-round picks, offering size and talent.
- π― The host suggests drafting a wide receiver one in the first round if available, or considering these sleepers in later rounds if focusing on offensive linemen earlier.
Deshaun Watson's Future
- β οΈ The host discusses the debate around Deshaun Watson's role with the Browns, suggesting he might be cut after June 1st if he's not good enough, to spread the cap hit.
- π¬ It's noted that the owner called Watson a "big swing and a miss," indicating he is not part of the team's future plans as a starting quarterback.
- π Watson's offseason workout videos are humorously compared to "Uncle Rico" from Napoleon Dynamite, due to their self-filmed nature and perceived lack of impact.
Quarterback Evaluation & Competition
- π§ A viewer comment from Carlton Barry 137 suggests that teams are "stupid when it comes to talent evaluation" for quarterbacks, highlighting the difficulty in identifying good players.
- π€ Another viewer, Don Hamilton 4450, proposed bringing in a free agent or rookie quarterback to compete with Shador Sanders, believing competition breeds excellence.
- π The host acknowledges the idea but believes Shador Sanders is already highly motivated by "haters" and his draft position, and doesn't necessarily need external pushing.
