The Cleveland Browns offensive line was ranked 16th by Pro Football Focus for the 2016 season. Such a high ranking may come as a shock to fans who witnessed multiple quarterback injuries and an obscene amount of sacks this past season.
However, the ranking from the analytics-driven site and the reasons for those rankings were correct.
The Browns performed a major overhaul on their offensive line prior to the 2016 season. Allowed to walk in free agency were Alex Mack and Mitchell Schwartz. Both players were highly touted and both were recently named second team All-Pro by the NFL.
