Cleveland Browns: 3 offensive lineman to look at for the 2020 NFL Draft

C/G Tyler Biadasz  (Wisconsin)

Joel Bitonio was a tackle in college, so the idea that Tyler Biadasz isn’t on the Browns radar because he played center in college is laughable. Now, that’s not a statement on his worth as a top ten pick, that’s also not to say he’s not worth a top ten pick. If you go into a draft and you think a guy like Russell Wilson is too good to let him fall past your pick and into the later rounds, damn the experts and take him. There is no such things as “draft value”. If you think the guy is the best, why risk losing him?

Biadasz is one of the best overall players in the draft and as far as interior lineman go is top-notch. He’s a stout run blocker who helped keep a mediocre quarterback upright most of the year. According to the Wisconsin football roster page, Biadasz is the exact type of player new head coach Kevin Stefanski will love;

"2019 Season: Earned third letter, starting all 14 games at center … helped Badgers average 233.1 rushing yards per game and 5.3 yards per attempt … allowed just 1 sack in 390 pass blocking snaps … blocked for Jonathan Taylor, who rushed for 2,003 yards and 26 total touchdowns, repeating as Doak Walker Award winner and unanimous first-team All-American"

You can’t look at that resume and not get excited about this guy plowing the field for the running backs behind him. Prioritize him wherever you want in the draft but for a scheme and play style, there isn’t a single offensive lineman more tailor-made for the Browns scheme in 2020 than Biadasz.

Fansided’s own Jason Truitt did point out a flaw in his game, which might be something that can be corrected with the right coaching;

"His biggest flaw is his balance. Biadasz has been known for dropping to his knees when overpowered. When he reaches open field he likes to lunge towards the defender. Which is why on film you see the lineman on the ground more than one would like. ….Biadasz’s athleticism seems to be held back a bit by his weight. However, with a professional NFL workout and nutrition regime, he could shed off some pounds with ease."

If the Browns have to trade back up to get him, take him “too high” or sneak into Seattle’s war room and literally steal the draft pick from under their noses, it doesn’t matter. Just make sure he’s on the team come July.
