I’m not a very big fan of Orlando Brown Jr either….while he definitely is a solid addition to the online celebrating him to be an elite left tackle he is not, he is better suited to be a right tackle. He’s solid but nowhere near elite as a left tackle, definite over pay if you are expecting him to be an elite left tackle. There is a reason why the chiefs went out and signed Juwaan Taylor over just keeping Orlando Brown Jr….they did not want him protecting Mahomes blind side and wanted to pay him less and move him to right tackle but Orlando Brown Jr wants to be a left tackle and paid as such. I know a couple of chiefs fans who did not want to see another season of having him be their left tackle. It’s exactly why they went out and replaced him with Taylor…..and then you have the Bears who were trying to acquire him but also wanted to move him to right tackle and didn’t see him as a left tackle so in the end he went here where he could be a left tackle. And don’t get me wrong he will do fine and is an upgrade. Really good run blocker but as a pass protector on the left side people on here are highly overating him. We will see but I don’t think he is going to help burrow’s blind side as much as people think.
