STM Take

The career arc tier 1 (#5) in 2022 to tier 8 (#84) in 2024 to tier 4 (#25) in 2025 is one of the most volatile mid-career patterns at the center position. The 2022 tier 1 peak proves the elite ceiling exists, but the 2024 collapse confirms the floor is real. The 2026 question is whether Pocic holds tier 4 or better as he closes his prime or whether the structural age-related decline takes hold.

Pocic came out of LSU as the Seattle Seahawks' 2nd-round pick (58th overall) in 2017 and spent five seasons in Seattle before signing with the Cleveland Browns in 2022 free agency. The Browns installed him at center where he immediately delivered a tier 1 (#5) breakout season. His STTM career runs tier 8 (#67) in 2021, tier 1 (#5) breakout in 2022, tier 2 (#11) in 2023, tier 8 (#84) collapse in 2024, then tier 4 (#25) rebound in 2025.

Strengths

2022 tier 1 (#5) breakout plus tier 2 (#11) follow-up confirms a top-15 center ceiling exists when the surrounding line is healthy.
Eight years of NFL starter experience at center across two systems gives him real veteran market value through age 30.

Concerns

2024 tier 8 (#84) collapse from tier 2 (#11) the prior year flags the volatility risk that even the 2025 tier 4 rebound doesn't fully resolve.
Cleveland's broader offensive identity around Deshaun Watson's continued instability compresses the structural support around Pocic's late-prime chapter.

What to watch: Whether Pocic holds tier 5 or better in 2026 or whether the rank drifts back toward the 2024 tier 8 floor, signaling the structural decline has taken hold.
