A move inside to guard is ideal for Orlando Brown Jr.

Count me in with the Ravens fans who weren’t huge supporters of the Orlando Brown selection this past April.

Despite Brown’s lineage to the NFL, let alone the Ravens, he seems too out of place to be a quality level offensive tackle. Yes, he’s a 6’8″ 345-lbs. and a behemoth of a man, but that doesn’t automatically make him an elite tackle. In fact, that almost hinders his play.

Brown is sluggish out of his awkward stance. Speed rushers will kill him at the pro level. And for as big as Brown is, he doesn’t consistently out-muscle defenders the way you’d expect him to.
