The OKC Thunder and Indiana Pacers were the two best teams in the NBA to close out the regular season, and they've continued to be so throughout the course of the playoffs. Led by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Tyrese Haliburton, the two small-market teams have fought through adversity and proven that they're the teams to beat in the league right now. Unsurprisingly, that has fueled a debate about who's got the better player and who's the best young star in the league at the moment.

The Cleveland Browns went from making the playoffs to winning just three games in one season. The defense regressed, and the offense never took off with Deshaun Watson at the helm. The Browns were tied for the worst record in the league. And while they’ve made some big moves to improve that, it will take a while before analysts and fans change their minds about them.

The Cleveland Browns had one of the most underrated wide receivers in the NFL. Amari Cooper didn’t get much recognition, but he was solid during his days with the Browns. That’s why it’s somewhat surprising to see that he’s still unsigned at this point in the offseason. With that in mind, Gary Davenport of Bleacher Report pointed out that while Cooper is clearly one of the best free agents remaining, he has to realize that his best years are behind him.

According to Pro Football Focus, the Cleveland Browns enter this season with the worst roster in the NFL. That’s a bold take, and a tough one to back up. Even coming off a dismal season, the Browns have plenty of talent on both sides of the ball, especially on defense. That’s why John Kosko of PFF had to give Denzel Ward his flowers as one of the best players at his position.

The Cleveland Browns need to give all their quarterbacks a fair chance to prove their worth. It should be an open competition for QB1, regardless of whether they signed the player or got him in the fifth round of the draft. Some believe that Shedeur Sanders is the best option and that he will win the job if he gets a fair shot. That makes perfect sense, but extended time on the field may expose his flaws and show whether some scouts were right about him.
