OL Deonte Brown (Alabama)?

[SeminoleRam]

Will there be any interest in OL Deonte Brown by the Rams in the 2nd or 3rd rounds? He is Huge and supposedly moves very well for a player of his size.

Tough one for me, is he going to keep the weight down or is he going to be out of the NFL in a couple years because he can't? I think he's more a power scheme kind of guy because of his size and lack of ability to get to the 2nd level and hold blocks. I don't think he'll ever get over powered but I don't think he'd be a good guy in the run game for us or a pulling guard, though I doubt any DB is going to want to see him pulling and running right at them. I think guys like Wyatt Davis, Jackson Carman or Robert Hainsey (who might be able to move into center later) are better options in the 2nd/3rd but that's JMO.

 

[Memento]

Honestly, I don't draft a guard who can't play center or tackle. Brown, while a good prospect, I don't think he's superior to guys like Jackson Carman (whom I honestly like at right tackle).

 

[Malibu]

I am always dubious of alabama players not that they aren't good but are they overrated? So much talent Center, Tackle, and Brown 2 star wrs, QB etc everyone looks good on a team like this bc they are going up against most likely inferior talent. NFL all teams are good less disparity.

 

[Merlin]

There's going to be enough options that don't come with concerns like weight or injury etc. So I'd prefer they draft one of them. We may be looking at Dickerson there at 57 and will probably pass on him due to that stuff. Or so I hope.

I'm over the risky picks personally. I want a slam-dunk difference maker. Don't really care what position just someone we'll feel immediately in a positive way in 2021.

Using his performance at the Senior Bowl, I would say no ; he got beat like a drum routinely in the 1-on-1's.

I would go for one of the seniors, who is more technically sound and has plenty of games under their belt - even if they need to get stronger - because that is a solid predictor of success. Yes, there are juniors who tested off the chart but the best of those will be long gone by the time we pick

At our spots you want players who do some things extremely well - even though they might be less athletic

I don’t see that in Brown’s game myself

Yeah, and the 'moves pretty good for a big guy' thing was disproven pretty quickly.

That Senior bowl baller should be in place if available at Center.

Brown has some serious questions about his weight iirc . My first inclination on when any prospect gets brought up is to ask if he fits McVay's profile. Is he intelligent, does he love football, is he a leader, is he a We player, etc,... I don't know the kid, obviously, but when I see a guy who cares more about eating than he does being in the best shape of his life to play football and potentially make millions, I'd say he likely doesn't check all of Sean's boxes.
