when given his chance, starting all 13 games at left tackle, earning Freshman All-American and honorable mention All-Big 12 accolades. He used his elite length, massive frame, and improving agility to start every game in his sophomore campaign, second-team Associated Press All-American and Big 12 Offensive Lineman of the Year honors. Brown was again among the best tackles in the country in 2017, receiving Outland Trophy finalist, first-team AP All-American, and All-Big 12 notice for protecting Baker Mayfield's blind side.

A 6'8", 350 lbs. left tackle with good tape? Yeah, he's getting drafted. It's just not going to be in the first round, and I hope it's not at #23 overall.
I'd take him in the fourth round, though.

I would argue with that 4th round pick being their 3rd there are bigger issues than a backup tackle to address. If Brown is backing up LT were are in big trouble for what its worth as well if Whitworth goes down.
Good tape? Plays too well? I would like to know what exactly Brown does so well, and in which games? In every clip I've watch, I see a guy that can barely move...
he'll probably never play in the nfl due to that performance....which's kinda a shame, cause his daddy could really play....sad story about him too...hit in the eye by a flag thrown by an official....later.....early death...

Power power and more power.
May not be quick enough for NFL pass pro.
I admit he looks slow and stiff. That was my main concern with (and limits) Havenstein.
I would have to agree with most on here. 1st round? Nope. But I also know I haven’t and won’t watch enough film on him to give a good assessment. I just dont get a good feeling.
I'd take a chance on Brown with a mid or later 2'nd round pick, but the Rams have more important positions to deal with in 2018, and not enough high draft picks to bargain with.
There are so few ready to start quality LT's available, i'd guess that Brown will get a good opportunity at LT, but I see him ultimately securing a more permanent role at RT. He's no Andrew Whitworth. jmo.

Jason Smith and Vernon Gholston were combine gods.
Had to bring up Jason Smith... ugh.
<Insert vomit emogi.>
Heck no Robinson was an athlete at the combine, neck down amazing. Brown showed his possibly only a neck up player.

I'm pretty sure Brown didn't forget how to play football. and for sure he's no track and field candidate:rimshot:

Browns combine wasn' good at all but his tape tells you everything you need to know about his on the field performance. I wouldn' pick him in the first round but a trade up in the 2nd round could be argued.
Anything beyond that and you got a steal.
Jesus fuck no. A big lazy but talented tackle oh gee where have I heard that before. People are saying he'll slide to day 2 or even 3 after that abysmal combine. Plus, OT isn't a screaming need anyways. We need OLB and DL bodies, and even CB and interior OL before OT.
didn't see power.....saw a guy just trying to stay in the way....
Games....not tape...they put OU on every week out here...and I caught him a couple times....and the first thing I said about the kid was....he can't move.
Same guy....
I was actually thinking...wow, son of Zeus...he's gonna look like.......
and he looked like
shit
Dude can't play....and won't get drafted....if I had more ROD $$$$, I'd bet with you 3.
