5. A Position Group Becomes Even Better Thanks To A Rookie
The Browns may have found the exact type of player they needed to add to the OL. The addition of Cameron Erving will make the Browns offensive line take the next level. They will not only be one of the better lines in the league, but starting this preseason and moving forward, will start to make the argument for the best in the league.

Many people would say the Dallas Cowboys currently has that title and rightfully so, but the versatility is not there like it is in Cleveland if needed. Currently Erving has been penciled in working at RG, but in my eyes he should be at RT. Yes, that would mean I prefer John Greco starting instead of Mitchell Schwartz.

Both Schwartz and Greco are average linemen at best. Since Erving has experience at tackle and center, it makes too much sense not to see him play right tackle.
I am sure he will get some time during preseason at the end of line, but for whatever reason it does not seem like he will be viewed long-term as a tackle. Regardless of where he plays, Erving fills a need and can be that key to a line and make them elite.
