Honestly, when Brown gets injured, people would be going crazy for us not drafting a younger T. Brown's injury history is pretty extensive.

Instead of worrying if this guy plays Year 1, I'd be more worried about if he develops into a good to above average+ player. I read that he only started 8 games at Tackle. That said, he didn't give up a sack and Georgia plays pretty elite competition, so I feel like it was the best possible pick they could have made.

That said, you never know with the draft.

This is an interesting approach to me. In a vacuum, looking at the roster + the pick, I think it makes sense. Get a guy with tons of potential who can sit behind a pretty good vet RT for as long as needed. A move to secure the future and I like him as a player. 


However, on the other hand, with how they are handling Tee Higgins and now Hendrickson, seemingly uninterested in trading them and "going for it" this year one last time with the band together, you'd think you would want to draft a player you know can contribute right away. And add in taking a tackle that needs development and our track record of developing lineman..isn't great obviously. 

Though, on the flip side, this gives us one less need next year when we have to replace Higgins and/or Hendrickson.
