Round 4, 103rd Overall: Dawand Jones, OT, Ohio State

The Cleveland Browns offensive line will be an interesting topic heading into the offseason. Most of the unit will be back together, and maybe all, depending on how things work out with guard Wyatt Teller. After 2022, though, there could be some big changes.

Tackle isn’t really a high priority this offseason, but planning ahead make sense, as well as building depth behind Jedrick Wills and Jack Conklin. Dawand Jones is someone who might not declare for the 2022 NFL Draft, but if he does, he has both elite size and good athleticism to succeed at tackle in the NFL. He’s more of a project at this point, but a good one to develop into a potential starter.

Round 4, 120th Overall: Ed Ingram, OL, LSU

As was just mentioned, it’s possible Teller doesn’t return for the Browns in 2022. This could leave a gaping hole at right guard, and finding an immediate impact player to fill that hole will keep the run game rolling and Mayfield upright.

Ed Ingram is someone who could fill in right away. Ingram plays with a ton of power like Teller does, and he’s got the sufficient movement skills to work in space as a puller and to the second level, depending on what the scheme asks of him.
