Now, each position has clear candidates for dependable starters and a deep pool of players capable of rotational and depth roles.

When it comes to the NFL Draft, occasionally there is discussion that Cleveland Browns could draft offensive line help, but given the state of their roster, that s not as simple as it seems. Excluding the starting five, the Browns still have two tackles, four guards and a pair of centers in addition to Chris Hubbard who can play both tackle and guard in a pinch on their roster. The Browns may really like what they have and they can t keep all of them.
Part of the reason the Browns find themselves with so many offensive linemen is due to the pandemic. Three offensive guards opted out of the 2020 season for the Browns including Drew Forbes, Colby Gossett and Malcolm Pridgeon. The Browns have released Pridgeon, but for the moment Forbes and Gossett are still on the roster.

The Cleveland Browns have reportedly agreed to re-sign offensive lineman Blake Hance per Greg Auman of The Athletic. The deal is for two years and gives the Browns yet another body along the offensive line.
Hance was signed by the Browns from the New York Jets practice squad and famously drove from New Jersey to Pittsburgh to suit up for the Browns before their playoff game against the Steelers. He introduced himself to his teammates for the first time in the locker room and due to an injury had to step in and play left guard near the end of the game.
