For the first time since the 1970 NFL-AFL merger, the Cleveland Browns face an unprecedented roster crisis: their entire starting offensive line is currently hitting free agency. From cornerstones like Joel Bitonio and Wyatt Teller to veterans Jack Conklin and Ethan Pocic, the “trench” depth chart is a total blank slate.

GM Andrew Berry will undoubtedly hit free agency, and possibly trades, to find stopgaps, but the real future of the O-line must be built through the Draft.

After a week of explosive testing in Indianapolis, these three prospects have emerged as the best schematic fits to rebuild the Browns’ wall.

1. Spencer Fano (Utah) – 6’5″, 311 lbs

Fano was the talk of the Combine after clocking a 4.91-second 40-yard dash—the second-fastest among all linemen. While his 32 1/8-inch arms have some scouts debating a move to guard, his elite lateral quickness, clean footwork, and overall smooth movement are tailor-made for the Browns’ zone-blocking scheme. Fano’s played both left and right tackle, giving Todd Monken the flexibility to slot him in wherever it’s needed. 

2. Gennings Dunker (Iowa) – 6’5″, 319 lbs

Catching most attention for his fiery red mullet, Dunker’s work ethic lines up with Cleveland’s love of blue collar, hard nosed workers. If the Browns want to develop an identity as a physical, run-first powerhouse, Dunker is the pick. The Iowa product was a tackle in college, but seems better suited as a “pancake” producing nasty guard in the pros. Snagging him as a Day 2 pick would give the unit a solid anchor for the next decade.

3. Chase Bisontis (Texas A&M) – 6’5″, 315 lbs

Bisontis posted a massive 9.85 RAS (Relative Athletic Score), proving he has coveted explosive lower-body power. He is a thick, powerful interior presence with violent hands, quick compact footwork and slides easily. While he played tackle in college, his pro future is likely at guard, where his ability to displace defenders on double-teams would make him a seamless successor to Wyatt Teller. If Dunker isn’t available, Bisontis in the third round would be a terrific backup plan.

Honorable Mention: Monroe Freeling (Georgia) – 6’7″, 315 lbs 

Freeling nearly broke the internet with a 9.99 RAS—the second-highest score for a tackle since 1987. He is a developmental unicorn with rare length and “tight end” speed. He kept slipping during drills at the Combine, which was off-putting. However, Freeling still showcased quick, efficient feet, powerful hands, and stayed low off the snap.

The former Georgia Bulldog could be a target at No. 24 for Berry, depending how the line needs are addressed prior to the Draft.
