Just in:The secret Behind Browns formal meeting with Olman is
|Brown’s formal meeting with OLman could be an indication of FutureĀ
As extensively discussed, the NFL Combine serves various purposes, such
as confirming a player’s performance seen on tape, conducting medical evaluations, and holding team
interviews. It’s generally frowned upon for media personnel at the Combine to directly ask prospects if they’ve met with specific teams.
For the Cleveland Browns, like other NFL teams, they typically schedule meetings
with most prospects they’re considering drafting. However, it’s unlikely that the Browns will request meetings with the
top quarterbacks in the 2024 NFL draft. While formal interviews hold more weight, they don’t always reveal significant insights.
Regarding OL Javion Cohen’s meeting with Cleveland, based on information gathered at the Combine, we can infer a bit more significance.
The Browns have enjoyed the steady performances of OL Joel Bitonio for the past decade, complemented by OL Wyatt Teller’s contributions in recent years.
However, the wear and tear of the NFL inevitably takes its toll, as evidenced by Bitonio missing games in 2023 for the first time since 2016.
Bitonio, now 33, is approaching free agency after the 2025 season. Releasing him after the upcoming season could
save Cleveland approximately $10 million. Meanwhile, Teller, aged 30, remains under contract for two more seasons.
Given this context, the visit by Cohen becomes particularly intriguing. With the rising value of offensive linemen and limited depth in this draft class at guard,
Cohen is likely to be selected no later than the fourth round. Despite lacking a fourth-round pick, Cleveland may consider Cohen in the third round.
While attention from fans and media often centers on immediate needs like receiver and the defensive line, GM
Andrew Berry may prioritize building for the future, as evidenced by last year’s draft selections. Opting for Cohen in the third round would signal a forward-
thinking approach, especially if Berry can address some immediate needs through free agency.
