Afternoon Drive on The Fan — Prioritizing the Offensive Line for the Browns at No. 6. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
It's going to be interesting to see the way you often try to come off the board. In a perfect world, the Browns come away with an offensive line with 6-6. Dad said, if for some reason now we know, a fan or a god, you might be really reaching for somebody to say one air would it be the guard from Penn State after he's just paid Jenkins? And as I have Johnson probably got, would you reach out freely from Georgia? I mean that seems like that'd be pretty rich for him. So like I say, you know, like if I had to guess which way they go right now, I'd say probably alignment. So, you know, I think at the end of the druthers, they would come away with a really good offensive line with the 6-6, but they don't control what happens in front of them. So it would be interesting to see the way with the first 5-6 shake out. Albert Breer of the MMQB joining us in the previous segment, the latest info, intel, all the things Albert does is for the number 6 pick for the Cleveland Browns. We do have John Fanta coming up at 4-20.
We get a Guardians game coming on the wire that will react to once that goes final as well, a little day baseball here. Nothing better than a 30 degree day game at baseball. Now, this being said, I think I have arrived at the conclusion that I'm much more comfortable with taking the best offensive lineman available. If he might end up being a guard or a right tackle this year, then over drafting a love tackle at 6. Okay. So you're back in like the Maui noa type phase. Is that is that the idea? Yeah. Like I think Spencer Fano and Maui noa are going to be really nice NFL players. I don't know. Maui noa is going to be penasual. I don't know. It's going to be this, you know, transcendent right tackle. He started popping back in the draft drafts, but like box drafts. I'd like I listen up. You go back and watch Monroe Freeling. I get it. I see the, but it's not on the film. Like the whole thing about Freeling is he looks like a love tackle. Yeah. That's just not enough for me to take you in the first round. And like,
I do understand that you're thinking about the kind of the upside of a player. And that's so much of this conversation of it's not about who he is today. It's about who he's going to be three years from now. This is just such a big projection. And so you look at Maui noa. You look at it. Fano. And I think those are guys you play day one. And I think they just walk in as name takers. Yeah. I mean, he's definitely he's a plug-and-stay starter. That's like that's kind of, that's the MO on him. And so if you, if you take someone like him, some of the weird comps is like don't know right is one of those because he's got like the size of don't know right when he's got the shorter arms that don't know right had as well. And like that was, that was a tenth overall pick like in a down draft. This is a, this is someone that you can take and definitely justify it six overall. So I actually think we have to reverse engineer some of what we talked about yesterday just because of what Albert had to say here. There are very few things the browns are going to do. It's six that are going to just upset me. It's an automatic no, right? To me, there's more of like, I feel like every scenario we've talked to talk through becomes Larry David
Giff of like, right? And so that's going to be clip with the sound. But no, I mean like, like Fanno at six. Okay. Carnal Tate at six. Okay. Like they might not be the guys I think are the number one, right? Then my number one choice. But I in a weird way the browns are in a just don't screw this up at six kind of scenario. Don't give us curveballs. That's basically all we're asking for one of this. Like there's there's the one would be a curveball for you because David Tyson's definitely a curveball. Yeah. That's fair. You know what I mean? I there's there's a there's a certain number. This is my this is my just don't take it six category where it's like there's a list of guys that if they took I'd be just like I don't know what happened. I don't know how you got here at six overall. Well, and I'm even trying to think like sunny styles is I've gotten to a spot where I was I was very anti sunny styles in this whole entire ordeal. But even guys like sunny styles don't play a position that I particularly care for. And that's what they did
at six overall that that might be like the fringe of what we're discussing. It's funny. I'm splitting hairs here because I would take Caleb downs at six, but sunny styles is on my no-fly list at six. Oh, is he? Well, yeah, just because you just drafted Swessinger. You only I honestly in today's NFL, you need one truly great off-fall linebacker and then a bunch of competent players. Yeah, like around them like I don't need to unless you're like a three four defense like Pittsburgh has an endless supply of just awesome linebackers because that also doubles as edge. Yeah, I where I'm at with all of this. I'm I'm pretty confident and it's like I think sunny styles is a no for me dog. So we do have to talk about a Guardians win when we come back in five minutes on ninety two three to fan.
