Happy Friday!! Today on the Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show, Jay Crawford, Adam the Bull, G Bush, and Mikey McNuggets discuss more massive needs for the Cleveland Browns.

The 33rd Team's Matt Cassel released his top QBs heading into the 2023 season and Watson came in at number 23 on the list, just ahead of Jacoby Brissett. How? Why? What? We have so many questions.
