He played on the left side all throughout college. If either tackle goes down I feel a lot better with Coleman out there than Gilliam.

Was drafted in 2016 and he's already 26. Must have been a late bloomer. Hopefully he'll be better than some of the other guys that have been there. Had to give up one of Lynch's money picks to get him though so he had better be good.

Coleman was a 3rd round pick and started every game at RT last season. Plays nasty, needs improvement on footwork. The Browns shifted him to LT to replace Joe Thomas but he was less comfortable there so by the time they agreed to move him back to RT, the position had already been filled He'll take over for Gilliam who has had concussion issues since the first game. Shon led the SEC in tackles each year as an offensive lineman for Auburn. He's 6'5", 310 and was popular among Browns fans. He has always played RT and they moved him as their best remaining tackle to LT to replace Thomas. Big mistake. It's like trying to write left handed. He'll be a very good backup and is an excellent run blocker. The guy spent two years fighting cancer and doesn't give up.
Sounds like a backup to McG and not a swing tackle.
If Staley got hurt McG would move to left tackle.

Not so sure of that. He doesn't fit the LT mold and you risk hurting both sides of your line at the same time PLUS destroying your rookies confidence.

Ok, but how's his blocking... We all need to prioritize the important things in life.
