ILB Preston Brown, Louisville -- I'm not a professional scout or anything, but I find it really hard to get excited over Preston Brown. But he has extremely good size at 6'1" and a rock hard 251 lbs, and the Cardinals used him perfectly by essentially slamming him into the line of scrimmage about 90% of the time he was on the field. Brown's game is that of a two-down mike backer who'll play the run and be subbed out in obvious passing situations. He's just not built for coverage at the next level, and honestly he's not looking too sharp as a tackler, either. Even when he's shooting the gaps, he will slam into the line of scrimmage and get push, but frequently get washed out and/or fail to wrap up on a ball carrier. He also seems to have a very difficult time shedding blocks; almost all of his "flash" plays are when he shoots a gap untouched. There are questions about Brown's motivation, too, so I really struggle figuring where I'd draft him, if at all. He seems to be UDFA fodder, but teams may like his hyper-aggressive nature and long arms enough to take a flier late.
