I don’t follow the college game.
Which OL guys are worthy of a high pick?

Francis Mauigoa Left Tackle Miami, Trevor Goosby Left Tackle Texas, Caleb Lomu Left Tackle Utah, Spencer Fano Right Tackle Utah, Kadyn Proctor Left Tackle Alabama, Olaivavega Ioane Left Guard Penn State, Isaiah World Left Tackle Oregon, Iapani Laloulu Left Guard Oregon, Caleb Tiernan Left Tackle Northwestern. This is actually a very good year to draft offensive lineman Tackles are a deep class and good guards and centers will be taken in rounds 2 and 3.

There are some good ones, but until I have an actual list of players who declare for the draft, I will reserve comment.

Fano has played both Lt and RT and is the top rated LT in the class. There are a lot of projections that have Mauigoa best suited to move to guard in the NFL. He’s got the talent that he’ll have the opportunity to try an play on the outside. Same thing with Kadyn Proctor.

Bill Callahan is unemployed.
In addition Joe Thomas is an asset to use in evaluation of OL.
We should rehire Callahan after the season ends. Use Bill and Joe along with the scouts to evaluate the college OL prospects.
We need to draft a number of O-linemen.

If we can pick anywhere near what we did last draft except with the Oline, I think we'll be in really great shape heading into next season.

Bill Callahan is unemployed. Bill Callahan is 69 years old and I'm not sure if coaching football is in his future plans.
That said, Callahan and Joe Thomas as OLine advisors to rebuild the Browns OLine via the draft, we would be hard pressed to find anyone more qualified than those two.
Berry's history of drafting OLine is matter of record...and not very good.

If you have access to expertise.
One should take advantage of that.
I remember the year we drafted Wills. Joe had an opinion on Wills but he was diplomatic.
The Browns have an entire offensive line to rebuild. If I were the Browns I would take advantage of his knowledge.

It's my belief that Wills was the backup option to the LT that went to NYG. What was left was the Bucs current LT and Mekhi Becton.

The Browns can spend every pick on OL, WR and QB and I would be happy.
Welcome back, Joe, we missed you!…. That did not age well.

Even if Callahan isn't hired as a full time coach, give him $1M as advisor, the OL coach's coach. Make it interesting for him, hire his son as well. The before and after with him was so dramatic. I mean, we're a wholly different team after he left. I'm not putting it all on him but gosh, the OL just completely fell apart the minute he walked out of the room.

I have a question about the Utah tackles
Fano was their LT but moved to RT to make room for Lomu to be the LT Why is Fano considered the higher rated prospect?

We need to pick Oline with our 1st, 2nd and 3rd picks and pick up 2 in free agency.

Whatever happens, I think we need to come away from this draft with our starter LT... and generally that caliber of player at that position is picked right around our first pick.
