[QUOTE="NYPacker, post: 278491, member: 1831"] He was??? I've never read a scouting report or any kind of draft guide that could really confirm this. Nobody ever heard of this kid until '08. If you find one please feel free to share. This is a contradictory statement. You're saying that Brown should be taken over other top-15 picks like Davis, Bulaga and Williams but your saying that Carroll would take him at the "bottom" of the first round? Why not jump the gun and take him at picks 6 or 14? Brown should go in those two spots since Bulaga and Williams are in the top-5 hands down and Davis in the top 15. Brown is as much an athletic freak for a LT as Mays is for a safety. Brown is quicker and more agile than most Tackles in this draft. Maybe he's not as strong as them but still he's a gifted athlete. But this is not where we are drawing the comparison here. We're talking about football experience and instincts. We are comparing Mays' ability to read coverage and make a play on the ball as Browns' ability to read the blitz and stop a rusher. You're right that Mays is mostly up there because of his athleticism but Brown isn't. Mays doesn't have the instincts we all thought but he is certainly athletic. Brown has questionable athleticism but the mentality that Mays lacks and still Brown's potential is limited more than Mays'? OR it could be the fact that the seahawks have more pressing needs than safety. Ken Lucas and Marcus Trufant are coming back from injuries and Jordan Babineaux isn't such a bad safety. The Hawks' o-line is in shambles, add in the fact that Walter Jones is retiring and you'll see that O-line is more of a need than secondary help. Which is why I could see Caroll passing up on Brown a bit of curiosity rather than if he were to pass up on Mays. [/QUOTE]
