[chknwing]

aka Deonte Brown.  he is a beast.  Has not allowed a sacks in 3 seasons at Alabama.

Dude, I can always go for some Cornbread. Oh, you mean the player, nicknamed Cornbread. Oh hell yeah! And if you really want it to be a Carolina O-line you draft a guy nicknamed Pinto Beans to work alongside him. 

Seriously, though. Deonte Brown would be a great pick-up for us.

They said he struggled at the SR Bowl--disappointed during drills--so did Norwell---so maybe his stock dropped.

Grab him in the sixth then or whenever it seems like his time is now.

Honestly, he looks the part. But also, he was part of a national championship o-line that kept a non-mobile QB clean and gave him time to stretch the field with great receivers. It could be he worked better with his regular teammates than he did with some folks he just met, running new plays and using different terminologies. Something tells me you get him on a good team and bring him along at guard, you can get way more than your money's worth.

No sacks allowed in three seasons at Alabama. That's on a top end (championship team) for three years against the best competition in the college. Heck, the SEC is just about a pro league as it is.

What was he projected before the senior bowl?

I saw him day 2.

He looked bad at the Senior Bowl. Gotta remember, he was protected at Alabama playing between a likely 1st round LT and the Rimington winner at center. When he got left on an island at the Senior Bowl he got wrecked by quickness.

All over the place. I'd seen as high as the upper to mid-2nd round and as low as the 4th-5th round. After the Senior Bowl, I expect the latter to be more accurate.

Have hopped off the brown train.  That sounds weird.  But still like Leatherwood.  Boo all round I'm on the Oklahoma oline bandwagon give me Creed and Adrian

Dude looked horrible at the Senior Bowl.  Purely a road grader.  His lateral movement is non-existent.

People forget that while looking the part in college is great, in the NFL you are going to be dealing with some elite athletes that you will have to handle one on one. Alabama is so talented they just line up and beat you with overwhelming talent. That ain't happening in the NFL.

Good, a 4th or 5th round for a possible starting guard would be a bargain, even if he needs to be coached up a bit, he still was part of a winning o-line.

Dude has massive size you like to see and he was lauded as being athletic for his size but he was super disappointing dealing with the interior pass rushers built for pass rushing at the senior bowl. The Pitt players ate his lunch. I have no qualms to draft him if he’s there round 5-7. 4 is meh but I wouldn’t hate it.

OL island play for OG is rare, so dont rush judge this mountain. Id still be open for a late round flyer on this guy, fyi panthers need ALLLLLLLL the help at OL....UNLESS they trade for Watson, he can block 4-5 guys and throw TD bombs to Moore/anderson!! Huddle hold me so!
