Has watching Fernado Mendoza make you feel any different about what you want the Browns to do in the NFL Draft this year?
Southeastern 16's Jay Greeson and Chris Lee preview and predict an outcome on the Indiana-Oregon rematch in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl as part of the 25-26 College Football Playoff semifinals. Topics include: Indiana won the first game, 30-20, and did it on the road. Neither team dominated the offensive stat sheet. The first one was outdoors; this one wil be indoors. Both teams have elite coaches; Dan Lanning spent time at Georgia and has built an elite program in Eugene, while Indiana's Curt Cignetti has engineered a stunning turn-around that's the talk of college football. Indiana had a star-studded cast of all-Americans all over the field. That included Heisman-Trophy-winning quarterback Fernando Mendoza, left tackle Carter Smith, defensive tackle Tyrique Tucker, defensive end Stephen Daley, linebacker Aiden Fisher, cornerback DeAngelo Ponds and safety Louis Moore. The Hoosiers were also great on special teams. Kicker Nicolas Radicic hasn't missed a kick in college and Indiana also returned a couple of punts for scores. Oregon has stars in its own right. Quarterback Dante Moore is the top NFL prospect in some circles. Tight end Kenyon Sadiq is versatile and perhaps the top NFL prospect at his position. Offensive lineman Emmanuel Pregnon and Iapani Laloulu were also all-American picks and combined with Sadiq, make Oregon nasty in the trenches. Defensive back Dillon Thineman was also an all-American pick and freshman defensive back Brandon Finney was elite, too. Each team gained 2.5 yards more per play than it gave up. Oregon was great in the turnover battle (forced turnovers on 2.6% of snaps, gave it up at a 1.3% rate) while Indiana (forced them on 3.4% of snaps, gave them up 0.9% of the time) was exceptional. &COLLAR Use promo code SEC16 for 16% off!

Outside Eyes on Detroit The Detroit Lions Podcast hit the road to Cleveland, and the distance sharpened the view. From two bustling sports radio stations to family tables, the Cleveland market offered a mirror. Browns fans are arguing about quarterback lottery tickets. Detroit is not. The Lions have a coach with a clear identity, a front office with a plan, and a locker room that knows who belongs. The national noise about a collapse feels off. The season stung. It did not shatter the build. Culture and Core Pieces Dan Campbell's program has a definition. You can point to a draft prospect and say, that is a Detroit Lion. That clarity matters. Amon-Ra St. Brown. Penei Sewell. Aidan Hutchinson. Brian Branch when he returns. The core is young and wired the right way. Even Alim McNeil, who battled injury and only flashed once, drew praise from people who study line play. The belief in him is real. Contrast that with Cleveland's question of what a “Cleveland Brown” even is right now. The gap in identity is the story. Offensive Line Priorities The NFL season exposed needs, and right guard sits near the top. Cleveland talk shows are speaking about Joel Bitonio in the past tense. He has been a rock at left guard. He fits Detroit's culture. Wyatt Teller holds down right guard in Cleveland, and that profile is exactly where the Lions could upgrade. The center plan came into focus too. Tate Ratledge projects as Detroit's center in 2026 and beyond. That is about long-term fit, not 2025 limitations. Graham Glasgow handled center this year because he was more comfortable there, and because Jared Goff favored that stability. Michael Niese is in the mix for depth looks. The line is not a teardown. It is a targeted refinement. Week 18 in Chicago, Then the Long View It is Tuesday, the calendar's final turn is in sight, and Week 18 awaits the Bears. Dan Campbell will not test Ratledge at center this week. That restraint tracks with the larger approach. Keep the standards. Protect the quarterback. Evaluate without panic. The Detroit Lions still have their quarterback in Jared Goff. They still have a top-end nucleus on offense and defense. The Browns are debating Shadur Sanders, trading up, or leaning on lottery tickets like Dante Moore or Fernando Mendoza. Detroit is not living in that chaos. The perspective from Cleveland underscored the point. The Lions are not falling off a cliff. They are figuring out their next set of edges. Identity. Interior line upgrades. Health for young stars. That is the work. That is how a contender stays a contender in the NFL. From Cleveland to Detroit, the message landed. Stay the course. Build the line. Trust the culture. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cB5sjNV_8eY #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #rightguardpriority #interiorlineupgrades #grahamglasgowatcenter #jaredgoffpreference #tateratledge2026center #michaelniesedepth #wyatttellerprofile #joelbitonioveteranguard #week18inchicago #protectthequarterback Learn more about your ad choices.

Ohio State linebacker Arvell Reese was a dynamic pass rush threat through much of the season, but his role has changed as the Buckeyes have faced quarterbacks like Michigan's Bryce Underwood and Indiana's Fernando Mendoza, who present a run threat in addition to passing. However, with Miami Hurricanes QB Carson Beck on deck in the Cotton Bowl, that could free up Reese to go back to more of an attacking role for OSU defensive coordinator Matt Patricia.In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, you'll hear from Patricia about that and much more.
On this edition of the Orange and Brown Talk podcast, Mary Kay Cabot and Dan Labbe talk the future of the quarterback position. They discuss the central dilemma: should the Browns build around fifth-round pick Shedeur Sanders and use their high draft picks to acquire a top wide receiver or offensive tackle, or should they draft a new franchise quarterback like Fernando Mendoza or Dante Moore? The discussion weighs the pros and cons of sticking with Sanders, highlighting his signs of progress and leadership potential against the risk of passing on a rare opportunity to draft a top-tier QB. This decision is further complicated by the uncertainty surrounding the coaching staff. Dan and Mary Kay explore the job security of head coach Kevin Stefanski, questioning if he will return and how a potential coaching change would impact the team's choice at quarterback. They contrast this with the relative safety of GM Andrew Berry's position and how his vision might shape the franchise's direction. They also address subscriber questions about roster management failures, the team's disappointing losses and whether Myles Garrett's pursuit of the sack record has affected the run defense.
