Who the heck is going to play left tackle?

When it comes to the free agent additions, it “feels” 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’s in love with an offensive tackle at No.

6, then we all know Andrew Berry won’t hesitate to pull the trigger there. A big name (pun intended) that’s 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’s more of a mid-to-late first-round guy, there’s a very good chance that the Browns value him much higher than the consensus.

Here’s why: He’s incredibly young Not only is Proctor one of the biggest offensive linemen in this year’s class, but he’s also one of the youngest. At only 20 years old, he has a very long runway to success at the NFL level. Though Proctor’s 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.
