CLEVELAND — Andrew Berry knew his first NFL draft as Browns general manager would be special. He didn’t expect it to be unlike any draft before it or likely any again.

The 33-year-old Berry couldn’t have imagined he’d be picking players inside a “virtual” draft room while connected by computer with Cleveland’s coaches or watching Commissioner Roger Goodell announce the first-round selections from his man-cave basement in a New York suburb.

But the COVID-19 pandemic has forced radical adjustments for everyone.

“We feel like we are going to have a good plan and be very prepared,” said Berry, who has been separated from his wife and their 1- and 2-year-old children during most of the virus outbreak. “I do intend to be in Cleveland on draft night, and we will be ready to go.”

Berry, believed to be the youngest GM in league history, is hoping to continue a productive offseason for the Browns, who failed to live up to anyone’s expectations last season when they went 6-10 and then went through another coaching and front office purge.

Berry has addressed some major needs in free agency, while leaving one sizable hole — starting left tackle.

The Browns have spent the past two seasons using a Band-Aid approach at the vital position, which was held down for more than a decade by perennial All-Pro Joe Thomas, who retired before the 2018 season.

It’s time to find a permanent fix and luckily for the Browns, this year’s draft is loaded with quality tackles, a class led by Alabama’s Jedrick Wills, Iowa’s Tristan Wirfs, Georgia’s Andrew Thomas and Louisville’s Mekhi Becton, a 6-foot-7, 360-pounder brimming with confidence.

“I feel I’m the most dominant tackle in this draft,” he said at the combine. “You wouldn’t go wrong picking me.”

Truthfully, the Browns can’t go wrong with any of those four, and Berry said last week that he’s not hung up on whether a player is better suited to play left or right tackle. Wills was strictly a right tackle for the Crimson Tide and Wirfs played mostly right tackle.

“From my perspective, tackles are tackles,” Berry said. “In terms of guys making the switch, certainly there is an element of muscle memory that needs to be reprogrammed, so to speak, for people who have played one side or the other for a long period of time.”

The Browns, who will enter the draft with seven picks, are set at right tackle after signing free agent Jack Conklin to a three-year, $42 million contract.
