Cameron Erving – Maybe it’s just me, but I jumped for joy when the Browns drafted Erving with their second pick in the first round of the 2015 draft. Versatile, smart, solid and the perfect insurance policy to back up Thomas and Mack. Best case: Erving sits the whole year. Worst Case: He gets injured and starts 2016 as a rookie all over again.

Michael Bowie – The great unknown. He’ll either be too good to keep off the field … or a big, fat bust that’s not worth another year on the taxi squad. My bet’s on the latter. Best case: Bowie plays to his press clippings and starts over Greco or Schwartz, making our good line as good as it gets in the NFL. Worst case: He’s forced into the lineup and he makes us long for Roger Chanoine.
8th (and 9th?) Lineman – Can’t see the team suiting up more than seven on most game days, and the long-snapper role may come into play as well, so my money’s on Seymour or a camp pick up. Best case: This guy never sees the field. Worst case: He plays regularly in more than a real emergency – like JT and Mack both going down in the same game.
If they stay healthy, the 2015 Browns’ should once again field a Top 10 NFL Offensive Line – now if they can just get some guys to produce behind them.
Who do you think will make the final cut along the offensive line for the Browns?
