The Browns&#8217; offensive line was plagued by injuries in 2024 and showed serious signs of slippage even when it was healthy, and that&#8217;s something Cleveland was expected to fix over the last couple of months.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_7n1dbq8n5\">Now, to be fair, the Browns had very limited financial flexibility, so it&#8217;s not like they could have made any significant moves in free agency, but that&#8217;s all the more reason that they should have looked to find some answers in the draft.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_8lpdcpxtn\">Cleveland had issues up and down the roster heading into this offseason, so the Browns were never going to fill all of their glaring holes in one fell swoop. However, not addressing the offensive line at all last week may have been a massive oversight on the part of the front office.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_jq5w7p1so\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Cleveland Browns certainly made a whole of noise during the NFL Draft, trading down from the No. 2 overall pick and later swinging another trade to land She<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":21864,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21863","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cleveland-browns"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
