Arthur Brown write-up (draft day video to the right)

Huge steal, especially with some of the dudes drafted ahead of him. Could end up being DROTY, as 9 timea out of 10 it's the best rookie inside backer.
Truly: The Great and Powerful Oz! And Brandon Williams in the 3rd = desert X 2
They are supposed to embody what it means to be a Raven (intelligent, good character, tough, durable). Each person in the scouting department has one, so there are something like 20 on the board. In 2010, the KC Chiefs drafted a Ravens Red Star Player with each of their first 4 selections:
Berry
Arenas
McCluster
Asamoah
If I recall, the Ravens didn't get any of their own red stars that year.
Yanda was a red star in 2007.
Outstanding use of the picks to trade up for Brown. A good trade up to me:
1. Need is addressed
2. Efficiency of the selection (both not reaching and someone else would take the player before you select again)
3. Good chart value
Brown is a trifecta.
I was very nervous when Bears were making their selection because I was certain they were going to take a MLB and it was highly possible that Arthur Brown couldve been the selection......BUT they chose Jon Bostic?!? hahaha
Love the Brown pick, was the guy I wanted in the first... But I am concerned about why Bostic and Alonso went ahead of him, given that he is so small and apparently some scouts were concerned about his ability to keep the weight on.
