This draft could’ve been saved had they drafted Orlando Brown. Marvin apparantly really liked him and Brown fit what they looked for in tackles, but Brown bombed the combine which is why he fell in the first place. Despite passing the film test very well, we decided to go with Malik Jefferson who was even more of a project than Brown was. Brown was selected a few picks later and now he is a pro bowl RT for the division rival Ravens while we are still stuck with Bobby Hart.
Even though Price has been disappointing, he still has a slim chance and if by some miracle he becomes starter worthy, pairing him with Brown means we would’ve looked at this draft in a better light due to the offensive line finally being addressed long term and the 3rd round having two home runs in Hubbard and Brown. At the same time, though, if Brown was viewed that highly then we probably draft him at 77 and still pick Jefferson next regardless. Is it worth losing Sam Hubbard for a RT? Maybe. But Hubbard has been very important on and off the field in establishing this new culture.. It’s one of those “We should’ve won twice, but at least we got one” scenarios.
