Browns Strengthen Line with Jenkins, Target Left Tackle in Draft

0:00On March 31st, the Cleveland Browns just locked in Pro Bowl interior offensive linemen Elton Jenkins during free agency, one of their biggest moves. Up front, they're eyeing him primarily for right guard, adding serious depth and protection to that line. This signing signals the Browns feel good about Luke Weibler holding down center, even in his contract year. He's bouncing back from an ankle injury suffered in week 18 and should be ready for training camp. Meanwhile, it puts Stephen Jenkins more in a backup role, like solid insurance rather than a starter. The projected starting five shapes up with Johnson at left guard, Weibler in the middle, Elton at right guard, and Titus Howard on the right tackle. Spot. Left tackle remains a glaring need, so expect them to target it early in the 2026 NFL draft, maybe grabbing someone like George's Monroe, Freeling or Utah's Spencer Fano. Center could still pop up on their draft 4 or 2 if Weibler's recovery lags. All this lines up the Browns line for a stronger push next season, blending vets with smart
