If you could only keep one, which one would it be?

I want to keep both and do not like the premise of the thread. However, Mack is a superior player and more important to the team's success than Schwartz. That is not a knock on Schwartz, but you are the one who made the dumb rule. LOL

Man, that's a tough one. Mack is a better player and more important to the team but it would be more expensive resource wise to replace Schwartz adequately.
I'll go with keep Mack and replace Schwartz, just because I believe we're going to a power running scheme.

I'll keep Schwartz - I've seen too many swinging doors at RT for the Browns. Plus, I think Schwartz is underrated by some posters, while Mack is slightly overrated. Teams find Centers in the 4th, 5th, and 6th round of the draft every year. Tackles are harder to come by,imo.

Steve and Vers, I gotta say your answers surprised me, especially the part that you say it's clear cut that Mack is the better player.
LOL - The Rish will be upset with this news as well. KS just doesn't prioritize winning...

I actually think the opposite. Schwartz is overrated by many posters on this board and Mack is underrated by many posters on this board.

I'll keep Mack, I think he's great at lining people up presnap and towards the later part of the season, started playing at a high level again. It's awesome when you can pull your center.
Tough one though, both would be great to keep.

I voted Mack, and I'm sticking with Mack, but it's not by a wide margin. It's a tough call.

Preference - keep both
Based on the question - keep Mack
Real expectation - keep Schwartz

Keep Schwartz and trade for Khalil Mack. Simple.

I picked Schwartz.
My thinking is its "better" to find a Hank Fraley than it is to end up with an O'Niel Cousins.
Plus we drafted a guy that played Center in college, and was rated well at that position. Plus Greco is a solid Center IMO.
Am I the only one that pronounces hyperbole "Hyper-bowl" instead of "hy-per-bo-le"?

I picked Swartz, because Greco can play center and Pasztor can take Grecos spot. I would prefer to keep both, because Mack is a quality player.

I picked Schwartz. He is 4 years younger, so he still has some upside. Mack is 30.

I'd like to keep both. I think we'll keep Schwartz and Mack will walk

I vote to keep Schwartz. There are a couple of reasons for this. First, if we keep Schwartz he will get to continue to improve beside Austin Pasztor who I believe helped solidify the line towards the end of the season and was a big reason we were running a little better at the end of the year.
Second, we have Greco who is serviceable at center until Erving is ready to take over. Or you could put Erving in and then have Greco there if he flounders.
I hope to God that we keep both, but if it's one or the other that's how I would go about it.

As you point out, we do seem to have more options at C than at RT, and frankly, I think that a good RT is harder to find than a good Center. (and while I happen to think that Mack is a very, very food Center, given the choice, I think that he can be replaced a little more easily than Schwartz)

With that said, I think we could find more feasible options to plug in at guard to correct a mixup at center/Mack leaving than finding someone currently on the roster who could play RT. I would vote Mitchell if I could go back in time.

I'm an idiot. Forgot all about one of our actual "good" draft picks in Joel.
From left to right respectively: Thomas, Joel, Greco, Pasztor and Mitchell.
We're in deep crap if anyone goes down, but I could live with that starting group and I'm sure Hue/Pep could too.

I think we are set up to potentially replace Schwartz, as we "already" have a replacement for Mack..
So if we are keeping only one, I'd keep Schwartz.
If we lose both, I'd go after Andre Smith.
Thomas, Bitonio, Erving, Greco, Smith

I think schwartz is better than a lot of people think, but we're probably going to have a new young QB at some point this year and having Mack there I believe will make all the difference.
I have no faith in Cameron Erving.. None. I want to be wrong, but I don't think I am.
I'd keep Mack.
