Overview
Brown excelled at the left tackle position for Troy, rarely allowing a sack during his tenure as the blindside blocker, but he projects to guard in the NFL, as he doesn't quite have the height to stay outside at the next level. He is a better run blocker than he is a pass protector, which provides further reasoning for the move inside. If he can be taught the guard position and excel there, his versatility gives him added value. He is expected to be taken toward the end of the second round by a team looking for line depth.
Analysis
Weaknesses
Brown didn't play inside at guard in college, so there will be a learning curve in his transitional phase. He is only an average pass blocker. His footwork is effective but he can often get beat by falling forward and being too aggressive once in his set and losing his balance. These attributes would support a move inside because of the trouble he could face going up against bigger, more athletic ends at the tackle position.
