He probably took time off after the season while most kids went right in to their training programs (which I have argued before is purely financial as so many are absolutely wasted by the time their rookie season rolls around, but you can see by this situation that it pays off for the player). His tape was excellent.
The combine bench, and almost every other measure were dramatically improved at his Pro Day. The bottom line for me is that there simply aren't many people with his physical characteristics and he was dominant in his play in college.
I hope you are right with Pollack, but hope isn't a very good strategy. It sure didn't work the past two years with respect to our offensive line.
This article made me reconsider Brown in any round above round 4:

I did not mind us passing on him. If he were there in the 4th, I wouldn't have minded it, but we got better players with each of our first 4 picks.
