Left Tackle: Joe Thomas

By far the easiest selection to make for this team, Joe Thomas will go down as possibly the greatest Browns offensive lineman in team history. That is high praise considering it is a Browns history that is rich with Hall of Fame offensive lineman.

A 10-time pro bowl selections and six-time First-Team All-Pro during his 10 season career, Thomas will be a first-ballot Hall of Famer in a few years. In 2014 Thomas was voted as the No.18 ranked player in all of the NFL  by his peers.

Left Guard: Joel Bitonio

Another rather easy selection here, Joel Bitonio was named to the 2014 NFL All-Rookie team and to the  2018 Pro-Bowl.  Solidifying the left guard spot for the past six seasons, Bitonio is on his way to becoming one of the best guards in Cleveland Browns history.

Center: Alex Mack

Boy, the Browns have had some good offensive lineman this past decade. It is a darn shame they couldn’t use them to win more football games. Alex Mack is the premier center in the game and a six-time pro-bowler.

Drafted in 2009 by Eric Mangini, Mack played seven seasons in Cleveland before signing with the Atlanta Falcons and appearing in the Super Bowl for them.

Right Guard: Kevin Zeitler

Kevin Zeitler got picked over John Greco and Shawn Lauvao for this team. Zeitler signed to Cleveland as a free agent from Cincinnati in 2017 and was one of former GM Shashi Brown’s best additions to the team.

A 2016 Second-Team All-Pro, Zeitler helped stabilize the right guard spot for two seasons in Cleveland before being traded to the Giants as part of the Odell Beckham Jr. trade.

Right Tackle: Mitchell Schwartz

Could you imagine if the Browns had this starting offensive line last season? We can only dream. And how the Browns let Mitchell Schwartz leave via free agency is still a travesty.

Schwartz was a 2012 All-Rookie team member for the Browns and was a 2018 First-Team All-Pro for the Kansas City Chiefs. During his four seasons in Cleveland, Schwartz only had three holding calls go against him.
