"Just move the guy in front of you" sounds nice until they stunt a DE and DT and he has to try to stop a guy 5 times faster than he is.

If we can get 6 starters out of this draft class I consider it mission accomplished. 

Considering we started with just 8 picks and we also gained a 4th next year in the process, this would be a wildly successful draft if this comes true.

Quietly, without a lot of fanfare, NIXON is going to rock some worlds.

Lol. If we can get 6 starters, it may well be the best draft class ever.

It would rival the Steelers draft class around 1970.

Pair it with last year's class, and that is how dynasties are formed.

Not only did we draft a coach who will get the younger players ready, we have a GM who knows the market and we have a capologist who is gooder at Math than I am English.

Eh I like this class and that’s great and all, but let’s see it when the pads are on and the cleats are laced up. Plus athleticism gives you a leg up, but it doesn’t make you a player. 

Are you suggesting that they were not wearing pads in college and they forgot to tie their shoes?

The first 6 picks of this draft were very solid. I bet all 6 make the final roster.

It’s relative to other players at that position, not that he’s “unathletic.” He’d probably still dust 95% of adult men in a 40 yard dash at 340+ pounds. 

Wait, would I have to be 340lbs too? (he was 376lbs at the Senior Bowl btw)

they say he lost 20 lbs since --376 lbs?   WOW That is almost 3 2021 Heisman Trophy winners.

I hope he plays much better than I think he will, but remember the Greg Little has only ever given up 3 pressures discussion? That led to PFF loving him. His first or second start against Atlanta, he gave up 14 pressure and 3 sacks. College stats can be deceiving when you have so much talent around you or aren’t facing future NFL talent.

Watch this link of his practice 1 on 1 reps:

When they try to bull rush, it doesn’t work. When the DT is able to get by the tackle (one guy would have flown by but hit the tackle), Brown has no chance. During the game he looked even worse.

As Zod mentioned above, stunt and get the quicker pass rusher on him and he’s got no shot.

I hope he keeps losing weight because bull rush and run blocking he may be OK, but a DC that sees his weaknesses can game plan to that. Get an edge rusher to pull the tackle out and a quick NFL starting DT is in the QB’s lap quickly.

This is a very tough drill for a G with no C or T help.  You know who else sucked in this drill?  Norwell.

I just see him as a situational player for the first year or two. I don’t expect him to start, but I can see us bringing him in on 3rd and inches or 4th and goal from the 1 with Tremble lined up in front of CMC. For that, he could be a big help. We struggled to run the ball in those situations last year more often than I would like. Mike Davis going beast mode bailed us out a few times, but we need a better push when we are inches away.

I don't really get being overly critical of Senior Bowl stuff.   Good OL play also had a lot do with OL chemistry and guys working with guys they know. 

I think how he looked vs Auburn, LSU, Clemson, Ohio St, UGA, etc. is probably a better insight of him than the Senior Bowl.

I don't know what you are talking about. Our best guards were always very athletic. Our worst ones were not. It's the difference between Trai Turner and Duke Robinson 

Just to play devil's advocate, because I do believe he looks fairly out of shape, even for a big boy...  but, I don't think Norwell was super athletic.

I have hope for him though.  He has the pedigree and there have been quite a few interior OLs taken over the last decade who have succeeded in the league with pretty disgusting measurables.

My RAS is at 1.36 now so Brown has me by a tenth or so.

I think if he loses some weight and gets serious about being a pro he'll be another steal late in the draft, but he's got to make that decision for himself.
