Round 3 • Pick 30
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Towering tackle prospect with the hands, feet and length in place to become a quality pass protector on the next level. Despite playing right tackle his entire career at Northern Iowa, Brown has the athleticism to give it a go on the left side if a team desires. He's packed on weight and muscle over the years but his performance at the Senior Bowl practices showed that there is still work to do in terms of improving his core strength to offset his high center of gravity. He can play in a variety of run schemes but he will be at his best on the move, where his foot quickness will give him an advantage in finding the angles. Slippery athletes with good length will be trouble for him early and maybe beyond, but he's an above-average hand-fighter with a variety of pass sets he can utilize, which should help him as an eventual starter with early swing tackle value.

Round 4 • Pick 11
PLAYER ANALYSIS
He's tall and continues to fill out his long frame with quality muscle, but he's still relatively lean in his lower body. Seemed out of position when matched up as a four- or five-technique, where bigger players were able to work him over at times. Despite that issue, Smith has been a consistent fighter and grappler at the point of attack and rarely gives in. The rush attack is very basic with standard "run, swipe and flatten" approach being used most often, but his length can be an undeniable problem for blockers whether they're pass protecting or run blocking. He may need a redshirt year on a practice squad so he can fine-tune his fundamentals and keep getting bigger, but he has a shot as a developmental prospect whose traits will keep teams interested.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Move tight end or H-back with in-line experience who offers up some potential as both a run blocker and pass catcher. He's a little tight in the hips, which hinders some of his short-area route work and blocking leverage at the point of attack. He's got some juice to work the seam and has desired ball skills despite his shorter arms. He's going to struggle blocking defensive ends, but is a willing combatant and has the potential to get linebackers blocked on the edges and defensive backs blocked out in space. Moore-McKinney could offer value as a late-rounder or priority free agent.
