Browns Sign Veteran Linemen, Mock Draft Drama

0:00On March 12, the Cleveland Browns kicked off the 2026 free agency period on a high note by signing three veteran offensive lineman. They added right tackle Titus Howard, left guard Zion Johnson and center Elton Jenkins, bringing much needed stability to a line that was wide open, heading into the offseason. The team also brought back Teven Jenkins to compete at right guard and has in-house left tackle option to Juan Jones. With nine draft picks, including two on day one, General Manager Andrew Berry can target tackles or gars to build depth for the new era under head. Coach Todd Monkin, Browns fans are buzzing with mixed feelings over ESPN analyst Field Yates' latest top 10 mock draft. It projects Cleveland selecting Georgia left tackle Monroe Freeling at pick number 6 overall, even with star defenders and skill players still, available. That move raises eyebrows as a potential reach for Freeling, who's rising fast after the scouting combine, but projects more in the teens.

1:01His size of six feet seven inches in agility make him intriguing, plus he has ties to Monkin from Georgia days, but the team needs an immediate. Game changer more than a project. Trading back could let them grab Freeling later, stock up on picks, and still address the line while chasing bigger impacts like a top running back. As free agency wraps, all eyes stay on how Berry maneuvers in this draft.
