00:00But, you know, there's so many needs for Cleveland.

00:03They can rule out the possibility of a quarterback as well,

00:06whether that be Shadour or somebody else in that spot.

00:09You know, they're such a quarterback-needy team.

00:11We talked about the Deshaun Watson type of situation,

00:15the swing and miss by Jimmy Haslam.

00:18They do have Kenny Pickett there.

00:20They have a multitude of needs to challenge the likes of Baltimore

00:23and Cincinnati and even the Steelers in the division that, you know,

00:27well, Travis Hunter is just not going to change this organization

00:30from a loser into a winner in one year.

00:33I just don't believe that.

00:35We'll see exactly what they do.

00:36But let's just assume for argument's sake that they do take Travis Hunter

00:41number two overall.

00:43And we talked about this with the New York Giants.

00:46You're staring Abdul Carter in the face, an edge rusher that you can obviously

00:50pair with Thibodeau and that defensive front seven,

00:54or you take Shadour Sanders.

00:56Shadour right now to be the third overall pick, Scott, is four to one.

01:02Travis Hunter is plus 250, assuming he goes second.

01:06Abdul Carter minus 170.

01:08Better pick, Abdul Carter, Shadour Sanders for where the team is right here

01:14and right now, number three for the New York Giants.

01:17Oh, it's a no-brainer.

01:19And it's either the Cleveland Browns or the New York Giants, Joe.

01:22It's Shadour Sanders because they're both in similar spots.

01:26They both have head coaches, maybe not so much Cleveland, but I think Cleveland

01:30as well, dead man walking.

01:32I mean, you've got to get something to regenerate this franchise.

01:35Again, whether it's the Browns or the Giants.

01:38Abdul Carter, Joe Schmo, Travis Hunter, they're not going to, who cares?

01:43Honestly, who cares?

01:44I told you before, Travis Hunter's not playing offense and defense.

01:47He's not.

01:48He's like the antithesis of Otani, right?

01:50You're going to bring him in here, and him and his agent are going to say, well,

01:53you're going to have to pay me twice my money because I'm playing two positions.

01:56Giants are going to say no.

01:57Browns are going to say no.

01:58He's going to pick one.

02:00And now, all of a sudden, all of the fanfare of this guy playing two positions is all

02:03thrown right out the window.

02:04So it's got to be Sanders, Joe.

02:06It just has to be.

02:07I don't even care if they don't like Sanders.

02:10Unless he drops out of the first round completely, and there's stuff behind the scenes we don't

02:15know about.

02:16Maybe the town evaluators say his arm strength really isn't any good.

02:19He's this.

02:19He's that.

02:20So he drops completely out of the first round.

02:22Other than that, the Browns have got to get out of that stench of the Deshaun Watson situation.

02:27They just have them so more than the Giants.

02:30They have got to turn the page on that.

02:32And unless they draft a quarterback, Kenny Pickett is not going to turn the page on Deshaun Watson.

02:37He's still sitting there waiting to start come October, November when he's completely

02:41healthy.

02:42They have got to move on from that.

02:44And the best way to move on from that is Sanders.

02:47And if he turns out to be a bust, Joe, you know what?

02:50So what?

02:50At least you have accomplished moving away from the colossal mistake of Deshaun Watson.

02:55So I don't think he's getting past the Browns.

02:56Or at least I wouldn't.

02:58You know, if I were the Browns, I would draft him.

03:00Who knows?

03:00But if he's there for the Giants, same situation.

03:03You've got to get yourself a quarterback.

03:05You've got to prove that that dopey, meaningless, stupid win against the Indianapolis Colts in

03:10week number 17 of the NFL season, which cost you the first overall pick, won't come back

03:15to bite you that much.
