In one offseason, the Cleveland Browns completely rebuilt their offensive line. After three free-agency additions, one draft pick, and one internal promotion, Todd Monken's team will have five new starters in 2026.
Still, the unit isn't solidified for the long haul. Starting right guard Teven Jenkins is on a one-year deal, and players like Elgton Jenkins and Zion Johnson aren't guaranteed to be long-term starters.
Cleveland will be looking to continue its offensive line rebuild in the 2027 NFL Draft. With two first-round picks, they can afford to find their quarterback of the future and give him improved protection. These five prospects are worth monitoring for Browns fans as college football kicks off.

5 OL Browns should already have their eyes on for 2027 NFL Draft
Missouri's Cayden Green moved from left guard to left tackle in 2025, and he made the transition seamlessly. The former four-star recruit allowed pressures on just 1.3% of his pass-blocking snaps, quickly becoming one of the country's best tackles.
Still, a move back inside may be in the cards when Green enters the NFL.
In the ever-changing Browns offensive line room, versatility is key. Iowa's Kade Pieper offers just that, having spent time at all three interior positions. He projects most clearly at center, where his light frame would be less of an issue.
Pieper is an excellent run blocker with movement skills built from his history as a tight end recruit. He would be a great player to pair with a rookie quarterback in Cleveland.
Jacarrius Peak might be undersized, but he makes up for it with unreal athleticism. He ranked No. 31 on Bruce Feldman's "Freaks List" due to his unique blend of power and agility. He transferred to South Carolina this offseason after an impressive year as North Carolina State's left tackle.
The young lineman still needs to develop his game, but he has the tools to be a starter in the NFL.
Now we enter blue chip territory. Texas left tackle Trevor Goosby is expected to be selected early in the first round of the 2027 NFL Draft. For a 6-foot-7, 312-pound behemoth, his agility is eye-popping. He has the quickness and strength to hold up against the most dangerous NFL edge rushers. In over 650 pass-blocking snaps for the Longhorns, he has allowed just three sacks.
The Browns made Spencer Fano their left tackle in the top 10 of the 2026 NFL Draft, but adding Goosby would allow him to move back to his natural position on the right.
Jordan Seaton has a real shot to come off the board in the top three of next year's draft. Hopefully, he'll be out of Cleveland's reach. If not, the Preseason All-American isn't a bad consolation prize.
Allowing pressures on 1.4% of his pass-blocking snaps last season, he's one of college football's most efficient protectors. He was the top offensive tackle in his recruiting class, and it shows in his effortless movement and power. Like Goosby, he could slot in at left tackle, moving Fano back to the right.
