Not to speak for maninthebox, but if his feeling on this subject is anything like mine...
I was shocked, and then not so much, when this thread poped up. Hanging a rookie LT out to dry in his first season. We arent drafting from other NFL rosters, we are drafting from college rosters.
I think I saw it earlier and I will reiterate it. Brown was a TE, moved to RT, and played his last season in college as a LT. So he has a whoping 3 years playing as a tackle, and he played against some of the best pass rushers in the league this year very early. I would say he was average. With that resume and his upside that would make him awesome.
The odds of even drafting a tackle in this draft, with intent to start rather than put on the PS, are probably slimmer than drafting a QB.
Also like someone else said, given the rank of our pass offense, the kid cant be all that bad.
Sometimes I wonder at the people who think that all 52 players on the roster should be pro bowlers. I think I need their jobs so I can eat filet and lobster prepared by a master chef every night too. I bet Bob McNair wishes the same thing.
