Welcome to this special episode of the From the Podium podcast presented by Bullseye Event Group. I'm Gabe Kalura. Brown's Brass in town here at the Circle City, and you'll be hearing from them on Cleveland Browns Daily and from the podium and the best podcast available all week long. On this episode, you'll hear from your general manager, Andrew Barry, at both the podium and in his local media scrum.

We'll start at the podium with Andrew Barry.

How's everyone doing?

Do you guys survive the blizzard?

All right.

All right.

So, you know, past month, it's been fast and furious with, you know, with Todd,

assembling the coaching staff and getting prepared for Indianapolis. It's really been a great past

couple weeks. You know, Todd's been a really great partner. I'm really excited about the group of

coaches that he's put together that we're putting the finishing touches on. And, you know,

coming down to glorious Indianapolis, where we get to have our first look, so to speak, of this upcoming draft class.

We expect to be a productive week with meeting a number of the young men and players that we're going to have interest in come April,

as well as have good conversations with some of our own guys and impending free agents.

So a lot of business to do.

Feel really good about where we're headed and with that I'll open it up for questions.

You know, Chris, I think one of the biggest misconceptions is that you think one of the biggest misconceptions is that youth equals, you know, lack of performance.

I think two of the three youngest teams this past year were Philadelphia and Green Bay.

I think, you know, we're a little bit unique in the NFL where it's not like, you know, baseball,

where a team, you know, a prospect has to be in the farm system for seven years before they hit the big league level.

There's certainly an adjustment period for, you know, for young players.

But we want to have high expectations for guys that, you know, that come into our program,

to be role players to ascend into starters.
