The Cleveland Browns made a huge pick in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL Draft with the selection of Dawand Jones, a 6-foot-8 and 374-pound offensive tackle from Ohio State. (Sorry for the bad pun so early in the day!)
Jones was a two-year starter for the Buckeyes at right tackle, which in the minds of some Browns fans means he should immediately be inserted as a starter even though Cleveland’s offensive line is already among the league’s best.
While there is obviously a lot to work with in Jones, who even by NFL standards is massive and can be a handful for opposing defensive linemen, there is still a long way to go for him to transition from a player who vomited on the first day of rookie minicamp and spent a large portion of the day with the training staff.
