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.

    • Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
