On this episode of 3 & Out, John Middlekauff looks back to the Cleveland Browns pulling off what he believes was a draft-night win in their trade with the Jacksonville Jaguars involving Travis Hunter. How did Cleveland come out on top, and what does it mean for both franchises moving forward?

John also breaks down the Broncos’ reasoning behind the Jaylen Waddle trade and whether the move actually makes sense from a roster-building and financial standpoint.

Plus, John takes a quick detour outside the NFL to discuss why Steph Curry remains one of the most electric players in sports, and reacts to Azzi Fudd going No. 1 overall and what makes her such a special talent.

To wrap things up, it’s everyone’s favorite segment: the Middlekauff Mailbag, where John answers your questions and hits on a wide range of topics across the sports world.

From NFL trades and draft fallout to hoops and beyond, it’s all covered on this episode of 3 & Out.
