So much of the Browns' OL issues stem from their QB. 
No one worries about the pass game. So they overload vs the run.
Kizer holds the ball trying to extend plays longer than he should. Leads to A LOT of sacks. 
If Joe Thomas is taking short sets and the ball isn't out in a hurry, that's a QB sack 
They also love the RB carousel and we see how well that works. 

KC has a good run blocking OL but between Hunt's breakout and Smith having his best year, they are being given a lot of help there. 

Carolina does have a quietly good OL for the offense they run. 


Now this is all from PFF and I don't care for their OL grades because they focus so heavy on results not the process. 
I wouldn't rank them like that, just in tiers. Browns, Chiefs and Panthers, for me, are all in the same tier. 

The Browns are such an outlier in a lot of things. You almost have to throw them out when doing analysis.

But you hit the nail on the head with your post.
