Re: In your opinion, what is fair value for Orlando Brown Jr?
Years ago the Ravens franchised Ray Rice and signed a contract extension 5 minutes before that July deadline. If they hadn't I remember they would have been on the hook for a cap number they couldn't afford. We were all waiting for news of either an extension or some players who were going to have to be cut right up to that deadline.

Re: In your opinion, what is fair value for Orlando Brown Jr?
His value is whatever DeCosta accepts or something more than whatever he turns down. Ultimately, it's whatever DeCosta can extract -- er, negotiate out of a fellow GM.
I don't think his value is as high as some here do.
31 other teams-- how many are confident OBJr is better than what they have now at LT? Consider questions about gimmicky offense, consider questions about scheme fit.
Of the remaining, how many can have cap space to pay him?
Of the remaining, how many would rather have a freshly minted draftee with a lightweight contract?
Perhaps what's underestimated is the degree to which this year's draft is a black box. Some teams might not want more picks in the fourth or fifht round because they haven't seen those guys play as much or had the opportunity to do other kinds of recon. Those teams will instead look for higher profile players, players with more information surroudning them, players who seem safer.
If you give up a first round pick for OBJr then you are resigning yourself into settling for reaching your hand into this year's especially dark mystery box. I'm just going to guess that a lot teams don't have as much confidence in their scouting department to be comfortable doing that. If anything, I can see more GMs looking at their big board, shrugging their shoulders at the names, and then dialing up their peers, trying to pawn off their late round dark picks for players in a spotlight.
