Caleb Lomu, OT, Utah

Editor’s note: BGN community member FierceDisc65 made this selection but never sent their explanation in, so, I’ll add some brief analysis here. The Browns previously took Olaivavega Ioane at No. 6 in this mock draft and now they’re double-dipping on the offensive line. Andrew Berry was around Howie Roseman long enough to know how critical it is to build through the trenches. Plus, starting left tackle Dawand Jones is set to be a free agent after this year.
