Hey guys, welcome to the Bill Barnwell show. I am Bill Barnwell. Today, Jake Trotter of ESPN

joins me to talk all about what's happened with the Browns over the last couple of week.

We could talk about what happened to lead to Sean Watson to the Cleveland Browns, the initial

reaction to the Watson trade

within the organization, and what happens next for Baker Mayfield? But first, I want to tell you

about the first draft podcast with ESPN experts, Milkeiper Jr., Todd McShay, and Field Yates.

Those three are keeping tabs on the latest in the NFL draft, and the show is now

twice a week as we get close to the NFL draft two shows twice a week every Monday and Thursday.

And also, check out Monday's show on YouTube as well. So check out the first draft podcast,
