Welcome to the final NFL draft edition of the From the Podium podcast. I'm Gabe Kalura.

The 2026 NFL draft wrapped up today, and the Browns will now look forward to rookie

mini camp coming up soon after the draft. On today's episode, you'll hear from general manager

Andrew Barry, head coach Todd Munkin, director of player personnel Adam Al-Ka-all, quarterback Talen Green, center Parker Brailsford, and linebacker Justin Jefferson. Up first, here's your general manager Andrew Barry, who recap the draft. All right, obviously we, you know, the weekend is not complete, but we've got a little bit of a break, or really a long break here before, you know, our last pick and then the undrafted

free agency process.

We're really pleased with at least where we sit, you know, as we head into the sixth round,

you know, we expect by the end of the weekend we'll be able to add, you know,

10 rookies that we're really excited about, as well as, you know, two future fourth round picks in the 27 draft.

You know, at the onset of this, or I guess, you know, last week, I talked about, you know,

our goal heading into the weekend is, you know, not just the first round, but it's how do we

maximize the resources that we head into the draft with? And that's whether, you know, not just the first round, but it's how do we maximize the resources

that we head into the draft with. And that's whether, you know, you're using those resources,

some of them for veteran players, whether you're using it to generate more by trading down,

obviously the players that you select, and then the future draft capital that you're able

to manufacture. So we're really pleased with where we sit today with the combination of players and future assets that we're able to create.

You know, we're looking forward to finishing strong and signing some undrafted free agents that, you know, can help our club this year.

So with that, I'll open up for questions.

Did you talk about drafting Taylor Green and just, you know, what's your thinking behind him and what traits did you like about him?

Yeah, it's probably a little similar to what I mentioned yesterday, Mary Kay, where, you know, at the quarterback position, it's the most important sports, you know, we'll, we'll make a bet or require a player that we like if it's the right cost.

With Taylin specifically, very mature young man, really strong makeup,

and he has rare physical gifts.

He has size.
