OT Orlando Brown might drop to 24


Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

Actually, he might drop to the second round because of former injury issues, less than 300 lbs and short arms for a tackle

 

EDIT  I was thinking of the other OT from Texas

 

From GBNreport yesterday

‘Horns OT disappoints in early OL combine numbers … Unfortuantely, we don’t have anyone in Indianapolis this week for the scouting combine so we’re picking up results from wherever we can. Courtesy of Walter Football here are some early numbers from this morning’s weigh-in session for the offensive linemen. Perhaps this biggest story out of those early numbers are that Texas OT Connor Williams really didn’t measure up all that well. Williams, who many consider to be a potential top 10-20 prospect for this year’s draft who might go even higher if he checks out medically after missing most of the 2017 season, weighed in at only 296 pounds and, worse, registered just 33-inch arms whereas most teams are looking for something closer to 35 for a prototype shut-down LT prospect.

Non-rhetorical question - at this point would OT be more of a priority than S or WR in the first round?

I would say no. Kalil was not great, but serviceable, and we have a young guy waiting in the wings for a shot in Moton. 

We didn't lose because of OT play last year, we lost because we didn't have playmakers on Offense for Cam to throw to. 

We are way thinner at WR and Safety than we are at OT.

Is that for McGlinchey? Brown is like 350.

 

I like Brown a lot. The guy is a monster that dominated in college. He's got "Right Tackle" written all over him.

My feeling as well.  FA may do something on one position or the other, but we dont have the money to spend on both in terms of getting quality starters.

    • I’m keeping an eye on what the Hawks do with Boye Mafe. There’s a few young talented players that needs to be retained and one of their defensive starters might not fit within the budget. My guess is probably Riq Woolen is voted off the island but Mafe could be potentially too. His stats aren’t eye popping, but in McDonald’s defense, his role is to leverage for the DL to clean up. Mafe’s QB pressure rate is top notch and in a different scheme, he could clean up.    Just something to watch this weekend when SEA is in town.
    • Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.
    • I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive
