I believe Brown was the fastest of all the tackles so team speed just got a little better.....

Still, one (college) year as a tackle would suggest that he's going to need lots of coaching. Let's hope he's coachable and can handle Gibbs' whip cracking...

He was a two year starter at RT and then started his senior year at LT.

That is correct. I misread his bio thinking he was previously a tight end.

Still, just 1 year as a LT.... No doubt they valued his athleticism over his experience...

The Jags just took their second edge rusher....they now have Harvey and Groves

I couldn't recall the last time there were no Longhorns selected in the first round (probably around 1999 or 2000). Now 2/3rds of the second round have gone by and still no Horns.

I would have thought Sweed, at least, would be gone by now. I also expected somebody to bite on Charles by now, even though I'm not that big on him.

Sweed to the Steelers.......

Dolphins and Packers just chose QBs in the second, diminishing Sage's trade value even further.

man, i dont understand everyone being down on the pick of brown. everyone in the league praised the texans when they got gibbs because he is the best of the best OL coaches. i think if he had brown targeted then we should at least wait and see how he turns out. we also got an extra 3rd rounder, which given our depth issues SHOULD be a starter. given the track record of the new regime i feel everyone should give them the benefit of the doubt. our third rounders under kubiak and later smith have been spencer, winston and jacoby. if they get two players of that quality in addition to brown we will be a much improved team. not to mention their success with the 4th round (bennett and daniels). everyone needs to take a step back and hold their opinions until after tomorrow.

as i said earlier, i don't know a lot about brown, but i dont think it is a horrible pick. anyone who is disappointed about not taking a rb needs to wake up. everyone knew they werent taking one in the first round.

Those guys have serious quicks. Looks like that punk Del Rio is going to try to have his crew knock out QB's.
