Round 2: Isaiah Prince, OT, Ohio State

The Browns are likely going to bring Greg Robinson back, and he played well at left tackle for them. They also will retain Chris Hubbard who started all season at right tackle. Behind them is Desmond Harrison, who began the season as the starting left tackle but had his share of issues which is unsurprising considering he was an undrafted free agent.

There’s going to be some hope that Harrison can develop into a starter in the offseason — whether that’s at left tackle or maybe pushing Hubbard at right. And Robinson would be better served as a swing tackle, but if he had to start, they could do worse.

With all that being said, the Browns would be wise to throw more talent into the mix and let them all compete for the starting jobs. That’s where Isaiah Prince from Ohio State comes in. He’s an athletic presence on the line that can be a huge benefit in the run game.

In order to become a legitimate starter in the NFL though, Prince will need to work hard and getting his hands right. He has the potential to be a long-term starter, and just needs a team that’s willing to work with him and push him to be better.
