The combine couldn't have gone any worst for a potential first rounder in the last decade. So what round would you start to look at drafting this guy if any. There are some tools to work with so where do you think he goes in the draft? With our new offensive line coach and his rep would you go third round or later? Myself with what we have in place I'd still go early third round. There will be many teams who think they can "fix" him so... What do yo think?
I don't see a team drafting him in the first couple rounds now. Dude lost a few million in two hours!!

0 percentile athlete. That is crazy.
Being big works in college. Not enough in the nfl.
I remember a few years back. That huge TE/OL from Baylor. He actually had a hint of athleticism. Didnt even get a sniff by the nfl.
My major red flag before the combine was lack of effort. Add the very real lack of physical traits to that...
I just dont know. I was a fan of Zach Banner late last year. Huge with nfl bloodlines. Colts took him in 4 and he was the earliest player drafted to be cut but was claimed by browns.
Maybe that Whit compensatory pick in 5 i would gamble on Orlando.

5th for sure. Maybe earlier if there were a serious run on tackles. Burfict didn't test well. Many scouts thought that he was a top tackle before the combine, so he probably has a shot at being a good pro still.

I would be happy taking him in the 2nd. Folks around here are tripping.

Depends on what we draft before him and who is still on board ahead of him, but earliest, 3rd comp or 4th.

3rd or 4th
He is a big man that is not getting pushed back but believe speed rushers will get by him easily in NFL.
For that reason do not believe he will play LT either.
Not against taking him and view him as a gamble pick with high upside if it pays off.

The tape is the tape. I think he is still a 2nd round pick, maybe later in the 2nd now, but a 2nd nonetheless. My guess is a lot of the stats improve at his pro day and people start to relax.

I think a better question is What Would Marvin Do?
Marvin has known Brown his whole life and also values tape among everything else.
I think Marvin would pull the trigger in Round 2.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.
Sorry for Party Rocking!

5th. He's a RT only (if that) and there are far better prospects in round 2-4 at that position.

No issue at all taking him in the 2nd.
His tape doesn't reflect the 0% athlete.

I'd happily take him in the 2nd and I'd pounce on the chance to draft him in the third.
Big men with long arms are very prone to bad combines. That doesn't change how amazing he was in college.

I totally get it but never say never that he ends up on the team. I'd give Vontaze the nod for poster child.

I think he could be a solid RT for us in case Fisher is not the answer.
A first team all american with a horrible combine.
That's the whole debate of where you'd take a prospect like this. I still say that come May and he happens to be a Bengal then I'm happy.

Agreed but if he puts up better numbers at his proday? Whats your round because its still the same player. I'd love to grab him in the fourth btw
