Around SBN: Jeremy Lin's Game-Winner Was Incredible, Worth Remembering

With the 139th pick, the Kansas City Chiefs Select Missouri OT Colin Brown

340x_medium

With the Kansas City Chiefs fifth round pick (#139), they have selected Colin Brown, an offensive tackle out of Missouri.

The official Missouri website has him listed at 6'8", 325 pounds.  There's not much information on him out there.  A few places I've looked had him rated as a 7th round prospect. Scouts, Inc has him rated as the 58th best tackle.

Here is what the Sporting News says about his strengths and weaknesses (H/T Ken Harvey in the comments):

Has good size and long arms. Shows impressive quickness off the snap. Handles big defenders with ease, and is effective keeping opponents away from the quarterback. Is a tough, competitive player. In short areas, shows decent agility and lateral quickness.

Shows only average athleticism, particularly when playing off the line. Tends to play high, struggling to drop his hips. Shows limited mobility in open field. Displays raw technique, especially run blocking. Lacks power and struggles to anchor.

They projected him as a right tackle.

What's interesting is that Brown played exclusively in the Mizzou spread offense.  I wonder if that's an indication that Pioli and Haley think they have it figured out when it comes to scouting spread offensive linemen or if the Chiefs will be running something similar.

According to our Draft Interests Page, the Chiefs had no contact with Brown.

Welcome Colin Brown!

He has the tools and toughness to be a front-line player in the NFL, but will need time to develop.

I have a feeling its going to be pretty low. He’s sh8t on just about everyone one of our picks, including this one.

jamaal charles doesnt like to run between tackles

he would rather have the ball in the open field….he will not be an everydown back

by chiefs8288 on Apr 26, 2009 1:34 PM CDT up reply actions  

The days of an "every down back" in the NFL are entirely over.

Nobody should ever carry the ball 30+ times a game. Having two RB’s both get carries, one around 20 and the other 10-12, is the way to go. Charles is better fit for the 10-12, change-of-pace back, but he could get the lion’s share without too much difficulty.

Larry is good enough to share the carries, as are RB’s that are still available (like Javon Ringer).

It’s all about the 2 RB systems. Even if Larry was in tip-top shape, I wouldn’t want him to be the “only guy”.

by rockchalk on Apr 26, 2009 1:35 PM CDT up reply actions  

what i meant by everydown back is

somebody that will run draw plays and hit somebody not just try to avoid them or outrun them

Dude

No one is saying that we want the guy to carry it 30 times a game… But we need that big back to be able to hit guys… And all and all, it doesnt matter what you think.. Look at where Scott and Todd come from… Look at the RB’s they like and have had… Big bodied guys who can pound the football.

I’m not saying that we need to run the ball 2/3 times a series. I’m saying Jamaal Charles isnt “the guy” like Sir rochchalk over here thnks… We need a bigger back to get the TDs and short yardage… Kolby and Jamaal proved that they can’t get the 4th and 1 last year

We have different definitions of "the guy".

I was just saying that he’s fully capable of picking up 20 carries a game. That’s “the guy” to me. Obviously, he isn’t the longterm answer, I never claimed that. I was just saying that RB isn’t a need, because we already have a guy (two, if you are expecting LJ to come back) who can carry the ball over 20 times and perform well.

Kolby and Jamaal proved that they can’t get the 4th and 1 last year

Did we ever go for it and run these two? I’ll be honest, I don’t remember any such instance. Sure, they aren’t the biggest guys, but whatever.

by rockchalk on Apr 26, 2009 1:47 PM CDT up reply actions  

ACTUALLY!

we went for it on 4th and 1 against (I dont remember) and Kolby couldn’t push the pile. The Jets game, Jamaal fumbled at the goal line.

And I DO believe LJ is the guy and that he’ll come back and prove it.

Jamaal fumbled only once, IIRC.

Against the Bucs, and it was near our own goalline, not when we were about to score.

And 1 yard is nearly always on the offensive line, not the RB.

No... But Jamaal CAN'T utilize the blocks. He HAS to be out in space

And while I was taking a shit, I thought about what you said… And NO! I beg to differ… Jamaal Cant carry the ball 20 times a game. He’ll get f’d up and injured every season.

Jamaal Charles is fragile, but he can still run between the tackles.

He can’t be your only guy, but it isn’t like he is just a guy who you can run screens to and such.

Kolby Smith can run between the tackles. Obviously, these aren’t the guys that Pioli would dream up in his perfect scenario for a team. But he’ll fix the lines first, then focus on the skill positions.

Can anyone tell me why Colin Brown is a better pick than Jamon Meredith? From what I have read Meredith is a smart, versatile OL, who had a 3rd round grade. It seems like we could have waited and picked up Colin Brown later, or as a Undrafted FA

We CAN BUILD ON THIS(without Herm)!

by bradelli58 on Apr 26, 2009 1:24 PM CDT reply actions

I'm really starting to see a method to the madness...

If you listen to Haley and Pioli, this is all about finding players that fit very specific roles. Haley mentioned (re: Washington) his ability to play over the slot and how it takes a specific skill set.

Jackson and McGee fit the 5 technique that we haven’t had. Brown apparently will be able to come and compete for the RT and might have give us a glimpse into the type of offense we want to run since he comes out of the spread at Mizzou.

I think it's tough to "expect" a

Playoff win. Ever.

Even when you’re the Patriots or the Giants, and you are one of the NFL’s two-or-three best teams, weird shit happens in the playoffs.

Regular season-wise, though, I’m with you. Although I’ll give them an extra year to make the playoffs.

Maybe.

It’s one thing to have a player drop due to work ethic and weight concerns, but dropping to the end of the 5th round (at the earliest) is absolutely ridiculous.

It has to be something else, as well.

The NFC East will be even better next year.

Although Dallas shouldn’t stand a chance to compete.

Washington got Orakpo and Haynesworth.
Giants are going to be just as awesome.
Philly is going to probably have the best offense in the NFC.

Tamba and Turk and Brian Johnston are all working out at that position

supposedly.

Obviously, none of them are longterm fixes (although Johnston could be interesting, there), but they should do a decent enough job for a year. Then, next year we draft one really early, like in the first or second round.

We’ll slowly get all of the necessary players to succeed. Can’t get ’em all in one draft.
