02Scheme fit
Ideal system

The Browns likely envision Deaton as a versatile interior lineman capable of playing in a wide zone blocking scheme that emphasizes athleticism and movement.

Left GuardCenterRight Guard
Best role

Year 1: Developmental interior backup, eventually competing for a starting guard or center spot. Ceiling: Durable starting center or guard in a zone-heavy scheme.

Wrong fit

A traditional power running scheme that requires consistently moving larger defensive tackles off the line with brute force, due to his relative lack of raw power.

Deaton's athleticism and experience in a pass-heavy offense make him a good fit for a diverse blocking scheme that values agility and intelligence on the interior.
