Cleveland Browns: Which offensive linemen will make the roster?
By Joel W. Cade
Shon Coleman, swing tackle
Shon Coleman is another player who may have played himself from starter to completely off the roster. His work at left tackle during camp forced the Browns to move Bitonio from guard to tackle. He subsequently moved back to right tackle. Unfortunately, his play has not significantly improved. With the emergence of Desmond Harrison, the swing tackle position is very murky.
Chances of making the team: 30 percent.
Greg Robinson, swing tackle
The career of Greg Robinson is sad. He had so much talent yet so little technique. Here is a player who lived off his physical gifts his entire career. But that only lasts so long in the NFL. Robinson’s time may have finally run out in Cleveland.
He looked good against backups in the first preseason game. But it has been downhill since. Given that Robinson is a career journeyman, there is a good chance the Browns will hedge their bets on a player in their rookie contract they can develop. Tough news for Robinson.
Chances of making the team: 10 percent.
Anthony Fabiano, center and swing guard
Anthony Fabiano is the dark horse in this race. Fabiano was the darling of the analytics crew who loved his athleticism but was a project in terms of technique. Fabiano has played mediocre this preseason. Helping his cause is his versatility.
The question is can he learn to play guard and center at the NFL level. Can the Browns live with him starting games if it came to it?
Chances of making the team: 10 percent.
