The Cleveland Browns have done an excellent job at attacking the offensive line throughout free agency so far, but one main question still remains. Who the heck is going to play left tackle?<\/p>\n
When it comes to the free agent additions, it \u201cfeels\u201d like Elgton Jenkins is going to play left guard, Zion Johnson right guard, and Tytus Howard right tackle in 2026. That leaves left tackle and center as the only two mystery spots left for new OL Coach George Warhop to figure out. As of right now, Dawand Jones is probably more in play for this year at left tackle than Browns fans would like to hear, but if the team\u2019s in love with an offensive tackle at No.6, then we all know Andrew Berry won\u2019t hesitate to pull the trigger there.<\/p>\n
A big name (pun intended) that\u2019s been floating around Cleveland when it comes to their top selection is Alabama stud OT Kadyn Proctor. Though most of the media thinks that he\u2019s more of a mid-to-late first-round guy, there\u2019s a very good chance that the Browns value him much higher than the consensus. Here\u2019s why:<\/p>\n
Not only is Proctor one of the biggest offensive linemen in this year\u2019s class, but he\u2019s also one of the youngest. At only 20 years old, he has a very long runway to success at the NFL level. Though Proctor\u2019s most likely going to be a pretty good player from day one, he has a lot of time to grow and develop if he takes longer than expected to get into the groove of things in Northeast Ohio.<\/p>\n
By the time Proctor turns 21, he\u2019ll already have 30+ SEC starts under his belt and multiple All-Conference and All-American designations. That type of age\/experience ratio doesn\u2019t come around often, and he\u2019s shown no signs of stopping the production yet.<\/p>\n
Also, the \u201cbodyweight\u201d argument isn\u2019t a real discussion point among NFL teams right now, simply because he\u2019s a one-of-a-kind athlete at 350+ pounds.<\/p>\n
