#HeyTony: Would the Browns keep four QBs on the 53?

Editor's note: Tony Grossi is a Cleveland Browns analyst for TheLandOnDemand.com and 850 ESPN Cleveland. He has covered the Browns since 1984.

Hey Tony: If the Browns intend to have a 4th QB on its 53-player roster, what other position will lose out. Seeing that they are finally getting OL depth, perhaps it means only 3 TE or 4 WR?

-- Mike, San Antonio, TX

Hey Mike: A year ago, I thought there was a decent chance the Browns could carry four QBs through the trade deadline. Then they got a trade offer for Kenny Pickett and the problem was solved. This year, I don’t foresee a trade or keeping a fourth QB. Which means somebody would have to go – unless an injury buys them a few weeks heading into the regular season.

Hey Tony: Now that we have a decent idea of who our offensive line will be comprised of, what do you think will happen with Dawand Jones?

-- Brad, Strongsville, OH

Hey Brad: Entering the last year of his rookie contract, Jones has to earn trust that he can stay healthy and available. If he makes it through camp healthy, he will compete with third-round draft pick Austin Barber and veteran KT Leveston for the swing tackle backup role.

Hey Tony: Which Browns draft pick surprised you the most?

-- AJ, Avon, OH

Hey AJ: After they selected KC Concepcion at No. 24, I never thought they’d come right back and take Denzel Boston at No. 39. So my answer is Boston.

Hey Tony: What does the drafting of KC Concepcion mean for Isiah Bond’s future? Roles seem duplicative.

-- Cory, Columbus, OH

Hey Cory: The Browns gave Bond a fully-guaranteed three-year contract. I don’t think he’s going anywhere. He didn’t have a training camp last year. They want to develop him.

Hey Tony: With the WR room now a bit crowded, who do you see on the chopping block?

-- Jack, Los Angeles, CA

Hey Jack: Let’s assume the top four receivers are Jerry Jeudy, Concepcion, Boston and Bond. I think the Browns keep a minimum of six receivers on the 53. That leaves two spots open. The competitors: Cedric Tillman, Malachi Corley, Gage Larvadain, Jamari Thrash, Tylan Wallace, Luke Floriea, Isaiah Wooden.

Hey Tony: AB actually told the truth and focused on offense just like he said. Did that cause him to neglect some holes on the defensive side of the ball? When do undrafted free agents get signed and can any of those holes be filled there? 

-- Mike, North Olmsted, OH

Hey Mike: Some names of undrafted free agent targets have surfaced on social media. I usually wait for the Browns to announce their signings on the eve of rookie minicamp, which runs May 8-10. The only hole I see on defense is a veteran nickelback. They can fill that in free agency. Maybe they bring back M.J. Emerson, although he’s not a candidate at nickleback.

Hey Tony: Does Todd Monken’s offensive system support the use of Taylen Green in special packages similar to the way the Saints used Taysom Hill? Do you believe that’s what they had in mind when they drafted Green?

-- Neal, Chatham, Ontario

Hey Neal: I consider Green the Browns’ version of Malik Willis. Four years ago, Willis was a third-round pick of the Titans. He had immense physical traits but was raw as a QB. It took Willis four years, including two years of good coaching at Green Bay, to develop into a potential NFL starter. I don’t believe either team used Willis like Sean Payton used Hill. But on Saturday, both GM Andrew Berry and Monken agreed it’s possible Green’s skill-set could be utilized early on in a specialized role, such as a Wildcat quarterback, a la Hill. Green would have to be make the 53, of course, for that to happen.

Hey Tony: Why wouldn’t the Browns consider moving the rookie quarterback to WR? His measurables are off the chart and many college Qbs have in the past. 

-- Bret, Strongsville, OH

Hey Bret: I suppose a position change is possible way down the road, a lot Terrelle Pryor. But the Browns emphatically stated they view Green as a QB. If they some day could harness his physical skills, improve his QB mechanics and train him in that role, the upside far exceeds that of a wide receiver.

Hey Tony: How many day 1 starters did we get in this draft? 

-- Andi, Cleveland, OH

Hey Andi: Fano, Concepcion or Boston, safety Emmanuel McNeil-Warren … and possibly center Parker Brailsford.

Hey Tony: What's your favorite Browns moment since you've covered the team?

-- Alfonso, Webster, NY

Hey Alfonso: Probably Bernie Kosar’s 37-yard completion to Webster Slaughter to set up the game-tying field goal by Mark Moseley in the 1986 season AFC playoff game against the Jets. Kosar had thrown two interceptions to create a 20-10 deficit with 4:14 left in the fourth quarter. The Browns won in double overtime.

Hey Tony: Your best prediction on how many games out of 17 Watson, Sanders, Green, Gabriel, etc, each start?

-- Ewing, Erie, PA

Hey Ewing: It’s impossible to predict. Nevertheless, Watson 12, Sanders 4, Gabriel 1, Green 0.

Hey Tony: What are your thoughts on Myles Garrett post draft?

-- Ron, Highland Heights, OH

Hey Ron: Without drafting an edge rusher, I now believe the Garrett trade speculation takes a break. I think a post-June 1 trade is probably off the board. However, speculation will heat up prior to the Week 10 trade deadline if the Browns’ record is not good.
