In this episode of Afternoon Drive on The Fan, hosts Jonathan Peto and Nick Badone dive into the latest NFL Draft developments, focusing heavily on the Cleveland Browns' quarterback situation. With Shador Sanders and Deshaun Watson locked in a competitive battle for the starting role, the team’s decision to host Ty Simpson for a top 30 draft visit has sparked debate. Albert Breer of MMQB joins the show to analyze the Browns' options, emphasizing that Simpson is widely viewed as a second or third-round pick due to his lack of elite physical traits and limited college experience. Breer draws a parallel between Simpson and last year’s Shador Sanders, suggesting neither has a clear 'superpower' that justifies a first-round selection. The hosts express frustration with the lack of conviction in the Browns' approach, lamenting the absence of bold, clear plans compared to past years. They also discuss the potential trade of Myles Garrett, with Breer suggesting a return of two first-round picks as a baseline, likening it to the Russell Wilson trade. The episode ends with a critique of the Browns' current strategy as indecisive and value-driven without long-term vision.
