Now that version of Orlando Brown -20lbs or so would make for a good RT. If he's lean and mean I would stick him at RT and say that's a steal of a pick.
His length and size is a big plus, now he just needs to put in the work

I'm going the specter of his father passing away so early, and being around guys like Ozzie who knew him and walking the halls his father haunted help motivate him to a healthy lifestyle. He really landed in the best spot for HIM.

Shaquem Griffin put up 20 with 1 hand. It's a test of will, heart and desire.

That really puts it into prospective

Maybe the combine/draft process will be a wake up call.

And Alex Lewis becomes a real good reserve capable of playing a number of spots. A domino depth effect.

I see one of these guys - likely Lewis - getting a shot at Center. Lewis is too good to be a backup.

Hate this pick. I see a kid that relied on his massive size in college. He obviously couldn't be bothered to prepare for the combine at all. Another future flop of a draft pick. Smgdfh. I don't know this team anymore.

Street and Smith on Orlando: 'rare size and strength...can maul people, drives off the line...flashes ability to play in space...can't be bull rushed...almost never off his feet'. now the bad; 'marginal athlete, not a natural bender, does not have agility/recovery to stop wide speed'
had him as #2 OT in draft; 'still should start as a rookie'

mixed signals. I have hopes.

I’m feeling you E I literally hate every pick they have made where they made it. I’ve wanted offense for years, lol and I hate every single pick

How can you posses rare strength but only put the bar up 14 times?

That's the guy they should be looking to draft, if he's even still available. I haven't checked to see if someone picked him yet.

There have been plenty of guys who had bad reps as being lazy who turned it up in the pros. Haloti Ngata comes to mind. Whether he becomes one or ends up as a Ramon Harewood is up to Brown.

The Ravens have had a history of producing good OL and many of them have had to put in significant time in the weight room. I'm not as put off by his combine as other are. Bottom line I like his size, base stability and wingspan as a RT.
