00:00The pick is officially in.
00:07The Browns trade out of the number two overall spot, back to number five.
00:12And with that selection, it is the interior D lineman out of Michigan,
00:16Mason Graham, who goes fifth overall to the Cleveland Browns.
00:21As we bring in Blue and Cap,
00:23more reaction to what Cleveland did early on here in the top five of the 2025 NFL
00:29draft, did Andrew Barry make the correct decision to move back and draft Mason
00:34Graham from the Mason blue?
00:35Well, Cap, we already talked about what they are planning for,
00:38which is to get past the Deshaun Watson contract and the Deshaun Watson era of
00:45the Cleveland Browns needs that you highlighted the quarterback, left tackle,
00:49running back, wide receiver, safety, defensive tackle and corner, which is a lot.
00:53Obviously, when you're picking second in the draft, you need a lot of help,
00:56but they get one here in Mason Graham, who is considered to be a very solid prospect,
01:00even if not an elite Hall of Fame type prospect.
01:03Yeah, he is Mike, Mason Graham of Michigan.
01:06He is a outstanding three technique.
01:08He is the best defensive tackle for this draft.
01:10Walter Nolan will probably go second.
01:12When we talk about defensive tackles out of Mississippi,
01:15but Mason Graham will be a day one starter.
01:18They've gotten Malik Collins as sort of a journeyman, nice player.
01:20Shelby Harris has been around the league a long time.
01:22So this is a building block player, no question about it, quarterback potentially
01:27in the second round because they've got a couple of second round picks.
01:30But the bottom line is they got a starter day one by trading down.
01:34That's what you want.
01:34And isn't it ironic?
01:35A lot of us had Mason Graham going at number five, but to the Jaguars.
01:38Yeah.
01:39So Mason Graham goes where people thought he was going to go.
01:42It's just to a different team.
01:43Ben, obviously we have a Browns team, which was a last place team a year ago.
01:48They're going to have to continue to try to punch up against teams like the Ravens,
01:52Bengals, and even the Steelers.
01:53In the last five years, Michigan has had a slew of first round selections.
01:58It is the 53rd consecutive NFL draft that a player from the Wolverines has been taken
02:04by at least one of those clubs around the NFL.
02:07Mason Graham goes fifth overall to the Cleveland Browns.
02:11Two teams within the top five have a win total of five and a half for this upcoming NFL season.
02:17With the juice on the under.
02:18The New York Giants at five and a half.
02:20The under at minus 140.
02:22The Cleveland Browns also at five and a hook.
02:25The under has considerable juice.
02:27So Kev, quickly to you from the odds perspective.
02:29Our first draft slide ever so slightly because of the changes in the order in the top five
02:35is now Ashton Gentty, who was a minus money favorite to go fifth overall
02:39and a hefty favorite to be a top five pick.
02:42Where does Ashton Gentty end up?
02:44Could it be the team originally linked to him in Las Vegas?
02:47Again, this is the fascinating thing.
02:49Had the Raiders and all of their leaks and thoughts of tackle, tackle.
02:53Was that because they thought Gentty was a goner?
02:55Did they do that to maybe give Chicago a sense of security in sitting there at 10?
03:01I think it's on the board.
03:02A lot of people are expecting tackle here.
03:04Obviously, time will tell.
03:06But this is fascinating now that maybe Chicago could sit at 10 and draft Ashton Gentty.
03:12Well, you know that there is a lot of people who are on the ground.
03:19You know that I'm talking about it.
03:21Now you know it's going to be good news.
03:23Are you sure you're working with them?
03:25All right.
03:26Well, we're only on the board, but if you're working with them,
03:29what is the next thing?
