Part 2/9:
Middlecoff began by reflecting on the Cleveland Browns' unique draft strategy, especially concerning their selection of multiple quarterbacks. He criticized the team's decision to draft Dylan Gabriel in the third round and another quarterback in the fifth, suggesting that this move reflected the ongoing influence of owner Jimmy Haslam on the front office's decisions. He argued that the Browns' management, including General Manager Andrew Barry and Head Coach Kevin Stefanski, may have preferred Shador Sanders over Gabriel but felt pressured to pick Gabriel to appease the owner.
