CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Draft analyst Joe Marino, who works for NDT Scouting and writes for Fanragsports.com, put out this tweet recently.

Josh Rosen is the most NFL-ready QB I've evaluated since Andrew Luck.



This should not be a hard decision for the #Browns. #NFLDraft #UCLA — Joe Marino (@TheJoeMarino) January 16, 2018

So I called him. And I couldn't wait.

Normally, we do one Takes By The Lake podcast every week, on a Friday, but I wanted to talk to Joe now. So this is a special Monday Takes By The Lake and we'll come back with another episode on Friday.

It's the Senior Bowl this week, so there's going to be a ton of draft talk. Joe is there, and we discussed what he wants to see from Baker Mayfield and Josh Allen, the two biggest QB names at the game this week.

But we focused on his evaluation of Rosen, the UCLA quarterback.

As I attempt to remain open-minded about the quarterback the Browns should draft, I want to talk to people with strong opinions about the quarterback they love.

Marino qualifies when it comes to Rosen. Follow Joe on Twitter at @TheJoeMarino.
