Cleveland Browns: 5 biggest training camp wildcards

3. OL Alex Taylor

Cleveland’s offensive line room was crowded even before the fourth-round selection of James Hudson. There will be some quality players cut or traded, and one of those could be Alex Taylor. Undrafted in 2020, Taylor bounced between the team’s injured reserve and practice squad with a cut or two sprinkled in.

Taylor is inexperienced and technically unrefined, but he is a lab-built scheme fit for this team and a perfect project for legendary OL coach Bill Callahan. He stands 6-8 with monstrous 36 1/8 -inch arms and jumped 116 inches in the broad jump. He’s an easy mover who has played both tackle spots, making him a potential long-term backup swing tackle, the role currently filled by Chris Hubbard.

Entering his second season, Taylor is behind Hudson in the depth pecking order, but moving on from such a talented player just because of the numbers game is not something that will be done hastily.

He may not make the final roster, but passing through waivers again is unlikely. The Browns have only four or five backup OL spots available, and at least six or seven players deserving of them. These are the types of dilemmas that good, deep teams must deal with.
