Should the Browns trade the No. 2 overall pick?
The rumors keep flying with draft day getting closer and the Browns are front-and-center with the No. 2 overall pick, especially after the Titans made it known they plan on making their pick at No. 1.
A report on ESPN stated the Browns and Giants, who pick third, are getting calls for their picks and they aren't slamming down their phones, but does it mean either team would actually trade the pick?
Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe talked through the possibility of trading the No. 2 overall pick on Tuesday's Orange and Brown Talk podcast and if they think it's something the Browns would actually do.
They also talk about the No. 33 overall pick to start the night on Friday night and what the Browns could do with that pick.
They wrap up the podcast by addressing linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah reporting for the first day of the team's voluntary offseason program on Tuesday and his future.
