Editor's note: Tony Grossi covers the Cleveland Browns for ESPN 850 WKNR.

One in a series analyzing the Browns’ position groups prior to the first training camp practice on July 27.

Position: Defensive line.

Roster: Caleb Brantley (r), Desmond Bryant, Trevon Coley, Xavier Cooper, Myles Garrett (r), Tyrone Holmes, Jamie Medor, Carl Nassib, Emmanuel Ogbah, Larry Ogunjobi (r), Nate Orchard, Karter Schult (r), Danny Shelton.

Projected starters: LE Ogbah, LT Shelton, RT Bryant, RE Garrett.

Overview: This is the position group most impacted by the arrival of new defensive coordinator Gregg “Come Get Some” Williams. This group will be the heartbeat of Williams’ predominantly 4-3 scheme. The switch from the ineffective 3-4 scheme of past coordinators required more bodies up front, as a rotation of eight linemen is the norm. Three were added in the draft – Garrett in the first round, Ogunjobi in the third and Brantley in the sixth. Also, 2015 second-round pick Orchard was moved from outside linebacker to defensive end and Bryant has returned from pectoral muscle surgery in 2016. The goal here is to develop Ogbah and Garrett into a formidable bookend of pass rushers, and to utilize Shelton’s quickness in the interior pass rush.

The major questions

1. Can Garrett be ready from Day 1 of camp and be an active participant after suffering a left lateral foot sprain in minicamp on June 14? If not, will the foot injury exacerbate the left high ankle sprain that plagued his final year at Texas A&M and affect the liftoff of his rookie NFL season?

2. Can Bryant, 31, return to the form that made him one of Hue Jackson’s favorite players with the Oakland Raiders in 2011?

3. Can Brantley, cleared of a misdemeanor battery complaint in April, reward the Browns’ faith in him, or will his inconsistent effort stated by line coach Clyde Simmons keep him from reaching his first-round potential?

4. Will Ogbah be freed to blossom at left end after dabbling in three positions in the former 3-4 scheme?

5. Can Shelton make another noticeable jump in Year 3 as a more effective pass rusher under Williams?

Next: Offensive line.
