Summary
Host Ian Hartitz is joined by The Athletic's Zac Jackson in part 21 of the PFF Fantasy Football Podcast 32 for 32 series. The guys start off by going through the team's top-three offseason needs, and they unsurprisingly all have to do with this defense. Conversation continues with a look at whether or not Baker Mayfield can continue to progress in 2021. Both Zac and Ian agree the idea that the Browns are better off without OBJ is shallow and pedantic. Donovan Peoples-Jones impressed as a rookie; don't be surprised if he continues to start in three-WR sets. The episode concludes with a look at these loaded tight end and running back rooms before Zac gives his offseason bold take.

| 0:15.6 | Browns. I'm in the 2020 season. Obviously 2019 had all the sky high expectations. So a |
| 0:20.7 | little bit of a post-type sleeper didn't look that way with some big time losses in the |
| 0:24.4 | Ravens and Steelers and the Raiders. No, you know, mud bull for their by week. It's |
| 0:28.7 | awesome flashers. Great Cowboys game. It seemed like kind of a same old Brown team, but |
| 0:32.8 | not so fast. My friends as a league course. So once said, Fort Straight wins following |
| 0:36.8 | the by drop the game in the year against the Ravens and forcibly lost to the Jets when |
| 0:40.6 | their entire wide receiver room had COVID. Playoff victory over the Steelers and then |
| 0:44.1 | an excruciating five point loss to Chad Henney and the Chiefs later. We now have even |
| 0:48.3 | more optimism for the Browns ahead of 2021. So the whole offense pretty much back. Things |
| 0:52.7 | are looking good there. Obviously do have some needs to address on the defense side of |
| 0:56.2 | ball and have a very special guest to help me do just that. He is Brown's NNFR writer |

| 1:13.1 | Hey, no problem. It's a different off season. That's for sure. I mean, the Browns are coming |
| 1:17.1 | off at 12 win season. There are coaching regimes at front office regimes that didn't win |
| 1:20.8 | 12 games in their time here. So, you know, the vibe is different. A lot is different. And, |
