The NFL will release its schedule next week, which means it's time for schedule content.

Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe take an early look ahead at the Browns schedule and put together a wish list for what they hope to see when the Browns schedule comes out. Are they hoping for a London game? When would they like to see division games? What about night games?

They put together a list of everything they're hoping for when the schedule comes out. What about Vegas? Should it go back-to-back with Denver? When should they play Kansas City? They cover all of it on Thursday's Orange and Brown Talk Podcast.

The Browns will hold rookie minicamp this weekend and our Football Insider subscribers had some questions about what to expect when the Browns rookies take the field.

It's where Mary Kay Cabot and Dan Labbe start Tuesday's Hey, Mary Kay! edition of the Orange and Brown Talk Podcast. Which players are they most interested in seeing and what do they hope to learn?

They also talk a little about Jamari Thrash and the rest of the receivers and how it all fits together.

Then they get into whether Deshaun Watson will throw during OTAs or minicamp and if Nick Chubb could make an appearance before they discuss a little about where the Browns rank in the AFC and how big of a factor Watson's health is in all of it.

Browns quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson's rookie season ended prematurely last year with a hip injury and, in some ways, he became the forgotten man in the quarterback room. This time a year ago, he began his rise to backup quarterback and now he faces questions about his role on this year's team.

Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe started their Monday Orange and Brown Talk Podcast discussing Thompson-Robinson, who Mary Kay spoke with over the weekend. What can we expect from him in the offseason and will we see him throwing?

Then they talk about the defensive tackle room and how it will all come together.

They also discuss Justin Hardee, who Ashley wrote a feature on, and what she learned about him in the process and why he's so important to this team.

They wrap up by talking about Duke Johnson, who announced his retirement on Sunday night.

The Browns are welcoming in a new draft class after adding six new players last weekend. It was a mostly uneventful draft for the Browns, but they added some intriguing prospects to the mix.

They get into why the Browns picked each player, how they fit in the short and longterm and how each player's role might evolve over their career with the team.

The Browns exercised the fifth-year option on cornerback Greg Newsome II on Tuesday, locking him in through the 2025 season. What happens after that will be interesting given the number of defensive backs the team could be paying by then.

Mary Kay Cabot and Dan Labbe begin Tuesday's Hey, Mary Kay! edition of the Orange and Brown Talk Podcast by discussing Newsome and why picking up the option made sense as well as whether the Browns could engage in longterm contract discussions with their 2021 first-round pick.

They also discuss the quarterback room and the battle between Dorian Thompson-Robinson and Tyler Huntley for the third QB job and how long the leash will be on Deshaun Watson this season before answering questions about two draft picks from a year ago and discussing the possibilities for the stadium.

The Houston Texans made the final pick in the Deshaun Watson deal on Saturday in the NFL Draft, meaning the trade is officially done.

After they discuss where the Watson deal stands now, they get into what the Browns did on Saturday and their impressions of the team’s draft class.

The Browns beefed up the trenches on Friday night in the NFL Draft, staying put in their original spots and picking defensive tackle Michael Hall Jr. at No. 54 and guard Zak Zinter at No. 85.

At the end of the night, Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe discussed the picks the Browns made and cleveland.com's draft expert Tim Bielik offered his quick analysis of both picks.

They discuss the decision to stick and pick Hall instead of taking the offers that were available to them to trade out of the 54th pick.

Then they get into the not-so-pleasant connection Hall and Zinter have and how bizarre it is before they discuss Zinter's future role and what it means for Joel Bitonio and Wyatt Teller.
