<![CDATA[Everette Brown's only 225 pounds?!]]>From a Kiper conference call:

Weight is also an issue for another underclassman 'tweener, Everette Brown of Florida State. Some teams wonder if Brown has the body at this point to withstand the rigors of a 16-plus game season. In his final game at FSU, Brown weighed 225 pounds. Teams want their edge pass rushers to be around 260 pounds.

Add in that McShay's predicting that Brown's not even 6'2", and you've got a guy who doesn't fit the physical profile of a Mangini 3-4 OLB, much less a 4-3 DE.

Should be interesting to see how much weight he's able to put on by the Combine & whether it affects his 40 time and performance in LB drills.

Perhaps he's one of those London Fletcher types who can just play.

I think the little guys (ala DQ and London) are able to overcome their lack of size by being adept at cleaning up the mess, as it were. An edge rusher like Brown, if he were that little, would get manhandled.

besides, most pass rushers don't pan out. that's why they're such a rare and valuable commodity.

I've got this gut feeling Brian Orakpo is going to be a beast in a 4-3 as a DE.

I think he's not going to be able to make the transition to OLB in a 3-4.

As far as Brown goes, NO MORE TWEENERS IN THE FIST ROUND!!!!!!!!!

They require development time and usually don't start to shine until 3-4 seasons in and you need help NOW with your first rounder.

  • 1. Aaron Curry, Wake Forest

2. Brian Orakpo, Texas

3. Brian Cushing, Southern California

4. *Aaron Maybin, Penn State

5. Larry English, Northern Illinois

Don't know why. It's bizarre that he wouldn't have someone widely considered to be a top 15 pick ranked in the top 5 at his position.

255 makes way more sense.

Molds are meant to be broken, by those who play with a lot of heart and have a the desire to make an impact.

He certainly looks bigger than 235.

But if he's dropping from 238 to 225, he's a marginal fit for 3-4 OLB.

He could be a great situational rusher in a Jim Johnson style defense. But if this is true, I have a hard time seeing him as a fit for Mangini's defense.

He was 235 as a freshman.

Brown has all the physical tools (Dec18)

Brown is as good as any pass-rusher Scouts Inc. has seen this season. He has a smooth outside-in move that uses a subtle head fake, has great leaping ability and as a run defender shows the athleticism to recover when he makes a bad read. And while we did not see him drop into coverage in the film we studied, Brown has the speed and athletic ability to make the move to outside linebacker at the next level a possibility. His one weakness is that when he gets to the quarterback he is sometimes too intent on stripping the ball and does not concentrate enough on getting the quarterback to the ground.

Brown will be a-slippin' down the boards...
