Browns' Offensive Line Overhaul: Versatile Vets & Draft Picks

0:00On April 18th, the Cleveland Browns just beefed up their offensive line this off-season, grabbing three vets with serious position flexibility, Elton, Jenkins, Zion Johnson, and Titus Howard. These guys bring experience across guard, tackle, and even center spots, fixing a unit that was banged up last year. Jenkins shown as a pro bowl left guard for Green Bay, but started as center lately, while Johnson shifted from right guard to left with the chargers. Howard's mostly a right tackle, but logged tons of snaps at left guard too, plus some right guard and left tackle time. Dabbers' utility changes everything for the draft. With question marks at wide receiver in the top 10 picks, the Browns might snag Frances Mauigua, the top tackle prospect on big boards. He's a college right tackle who could slide inside to guard or protect the blindside. They're eyeing a move from veteran Joel Betonio soon, so grabbing a high-end guard replacement fits. Picture this, a day one rookie battling at left tackle against the Juan Jones, Jenkins, and Johnson at guard,
