The Cleveland Browns made a lot of roster moves this offseason, trading away Myles Garrett, the latest one, and the most shocking.
But, before the stunning trade, the Browns made it a focus of theirs to completely overhaul their offense, specifically, the wide receiver room and the offensive line.
After some big offseason moves, the Browns, according to ESPN's Daniel Oyefusi, only have one question remaining on the offensive line, with four out of the five starting spots figured out.
Browns have only one question left to resolve along OL
"Monken said he believes the team already has four starters in place: right tackle Tytus Howard, left guard Zion Johnson, interior offensive lineman Elgton Jenkins, and first-round left tackle Spencer Fano," Oyefusi writes.
The Browns have four-of-five offensive line spots figured out, but only three positions are set-in-stone for the Browns right now, according to Monken.
Trade pickup Tytus Howard is the right tackle, first-round pick Spencer Fano is the left tackle, and free-agent signing Zion Johnson is the left guard.
But when it comes to the center and right guard spots, the Browns are going to start Jenkins at one of those spots, and the other will be filled by some other offensive lineman.

This versatility is a huge plus for the Browns, as this one final OL question can be answered by a few more players than if Jenkins were locked in at OG or C.
Teven Jenkins, Zak Zinter, Jack Conley, and Kendrick Green are the starting guard options, while rookie Parker Brailsford is vying for the starting center job.
Cleveland has seemingly resolved four-out-of-five offensive line spots, with the only question left being which interior offensive lineman will win a starting job and earn the center or right guard spot this summer.
