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.

    • Well even if we took diverging paths getting there...our overall assessment of Shough is the same (bolded) lol so I guess that's what matters.  What you call "playing at a level that looks like a veteran starter" is the same thing I'm referencing when I talk about his poise.  Although I still wonder how truly "bad" of a team the Saints are.  Their defense is middle-of-the-road, and their offense does have some good pieces (Olave, Juwan Johnson) outside of running back which is the position most everyone agrees is relatively plug-and-play.  I'm not going to pretend to know anything about the majority of NFL team's o-lines lol but I'm assuming Saints are not great there, although Shough's pressure % seems to have been quite low (and steadily improving) over the last four weeks (20 -> 16.7 -> 15.0 -> 13.0) so maybe they've been playing better as of late, or perhaps Shough himself deserves credit for that.   Some of the language I'm hearing about Shough, including talking about how he's way above league average in several categories, makes it sound like Shough is having a rookie season on par with like a CJ Stroud who established himself as basically a Top 5-10 QB his rookie season.  Maybe that's on me though, I don't mean to attribute anything to you that I'm sure you don't agree with.
    • Since your being selective (and somewhat deceptive) with your comparisons, I'll throw this up so we can compare apples to apples. Both Young and Shough have played against the Rams. Young went: 15/20 (75%) for 191 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INTs with a 147.1 QB rating Shough went: 15/24 (62.5%) for 176 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT with a 81.2 QB rating   Both Young and Shough have played against the Buccs. Young went: 21/32 (65%) for 206 yards, 2 TDs, 0 INTs with a 102.5 QB rating Shough went: 13/20 (65%) for 176 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT with a 65.4 QB rating   Both Young and Shough have played against the Falcons. Young went: 31/45 (75%) for 448 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INTs with a 123.2 rating Shough went: 30/43 (69.7%) for 243 yards, 0TD, 1 INT with a 74 QB rating   Seriously, in what world is Shough a better QB.
    • Freddie? For this game? Seriously? I don’t get it. Hope we get the best version of Freddie tonight.
