Funny....ESPN dorks just commented on how awesome his pass protecting is.

That was a surprise. 

The Beast: KNESSES: Average run power and not a consistent drive-through-contact runner … slight hip tightness and can be tripped up by arm tackles … inconsistent second-level cuts … accelerates well, but pull-away gear doesn’t always match timed speed … inconsistent blocking reps on tape, either missing the blitzer or struggling to square and sustain … ball security must improve (five fumbles in 2022) … smaller target as a pass catcher … low touchdown production considering his offensive touches … suffered two Grade-2 AC sprains as a junior, one in preseason camp (August 2021) and another vs. Maryland (September 2021).

Eh, almost all of the talking-head-speak should be ignored.

 

Brown himself said at the combine pass protection is his main area to work on (and FWIW he says it is what he's been working on the most).  Any RB we get had better be able to pass protect, but more importantly if we, as so many here are hoping, are getting rid of Mixon in favour of some rookie, he HAS TO  be able to block, now.  Luckily I don't think that's the approach we're going to see, and this guy has some time to learn and prove he can do it.

Maybe he makes the roster, maybe not. We're in that part of the draft.

That'd be nice but Mixon still sucks at it and they're about to pay him top 5 money to do it. Maybe they think they already have that guy on the roster, IDK. Not to beat a dead horse but their attachment to Mixon is puzzling.

I'd still draft another RB. McBride was my 3rd favorite back in this draft.

I just thought about something. Do you think a team ever accidentally tries to take a player that has already been taken? Like in fantasy drafts?

I  think I read/heard somewhere on that at some point over the years, that the NFL has people ready to make sure and let a team know if they've done that before they turn their card in.
