LT - Jedrick Wills - 66.1 (52nd rated OT)
LG - Joel Bitonio - 93.6 (1st rated OG)
C - Nick Harris - 70.0 but only 68 offensive snaps played. Not enough snaps to qualify for ranking. In 2020, he played 143 snaps and rated 51.3.
RG - Wyatt Teller - 84.9 (5th rated OG)
RT - Jack Conklin - 78.8 (20th rated OT)

So the Browns have a (big) question mark at C. Arguably a bigger worry than Bengals with Carman.
Wills and Conklin same tier, if not slightly worse, than Williams and Collins.
The Browns really just have clear upgrades at IOL compared to the Bengals - Bitonio and Teller are better veterans than Karras and Cappa. But Karraas and Cappa still good.

Yes our real only big question mark as you mentioned is LG. I remember reading an article month or two ago and the author said words to the effect of "don't be surprised when D'ante Smith is the starting LG". Not sure where that confidence came from ? But between Carman. Smith, and perhaps even Volson ? We can make something work there ?

I'm just sick and tired of having a shitty Oline.
