As soon as Mitchell Schwartz signed a free agent contract with the Kansas City Chiefs, the Cleveland Browns knew they had a hole to fill at right tackle.
Executive vice president of football operations Sashi Brown had an opportunity to fix the mess left by former general manager Ray Farmer, who was more interested in handing wide receiver Dwayne Bowe a $9 million parting gift than in signing the game’s best right tackle, but once the door was closed on Schwartz the Browns turned to the 2016 NFL Draft to fix the problem.
In the third round the Browns selected Auburn offensive tackle Shon Coleman, a second-team All-SEC selection for the Tigers.
