CLEVELAND, Ohio -- On the first day of NFL free agency, NFL analyst Cian Fahey praised the Browns for their free thinking.

That was enough to make him a podcast guest.

In this edition of Takes By The Lake, our twice-a-week cleveland.com sports podcast, I'm joined by Fahey for a full show of unique Browns talk from one of the best NFL analysts around. Fahey is a 26-year-old from Ireland who you may have heard on the Dan Le Batard show, and he constantly offers his views at the NFL on his Twitter account @Cianaf.

If you aren't following him on Twitter, you should start.

You can also check out some of his writing at presnapreads.com and he'll have a full catalogue on every quarterback in the NFL coming out after the NFL Draft.

For now, check out episode of 19 of Takes By The Lake. Usual co-host Zack Meisel is on vacation this week, so this is just Cian and me talking about the Browns.

We discussed their free thinking ways, the signings on the first day of free agency, losing Terrelle Pryor and gaining Kenny Britt, whether Jimmy Garoppolo should be the quarterback target, how bad Brock Osweiler really is, whether this Browns plan will work and when fans could expect the Browns to contend for the playoffs.
