For all the quarter-back problems that Cleveland’s Browns have seen in recent seasons, let’s put a part of the blame on the offensive line in front of them.

Last season only, while the Browns employed four different starters under the center, the offensive line was responsible for 66 bags. It was up 45 bags the previous season, when Cleveland had five different starters.
The Browns have made a fourth round choice on the Ohio State Dawand Jones offensive player in 2023, and he has not managed to take two seasons so far with the Browns.
Pro Football Focus thinks that Jones should have a makeup or breakup campaign next season.
“Jones played three games at [left tackle] Last year before undergoing a fractured fractured who ended his season, “analyst Dalton Wasserman wrote Tuesday. “Unfortunately, he obtained a global note less than 44.1 pff on these three outings. The veteran Cornelius Lucas could fill if Jones is again injured or ineffective, but the Browns desperately need young talents to emerge on their offensive line, and Jones is the most likely candidate.”

After his recruit season, Jones was appointed the team “Most promising construction element“In front in 2024 by Bleacher Report. He obtained an overall note of 64.7 by pro football focus for his efforts in his recruit season. But 2024 did not go as planned.
The first Buckeyes The tackle underwent a major injury in the defeat of the week 11 of the Browns against the Saints, but even before the injury, Jones did not play at the level that he set in his recruit year. Pro Football Focus scored a little impressive 46.4 in total for the time he was on the field.
Cleveland’s offensive was somehow a waste at that time, suffering from key players and a bad game sometimes. If Jones can recover and return to the game he posted in 2023, he could help return the Browns offensive line to the No. 2 unit that she was part of her recruit campaign.
