IMO to think they drafted a guy in the 5th round as specificly a RT is nothing more then an assumption. Now if you have some real infor of Haley or Pioli stating that Brown was drafted as a RT only prospect then I'll respect that. Alot of RTs in college end up guards in the NFL don't they? That being the case I would think that the thought process was two fold in regards to Brown. I don't know that 100% though. Stands to reason in my mind none the less.

PhilFree:arrow:

We're all making assumptions.

But the fact is, ther were more athletic, versatile linemen available when Brown was drafted.
They worked him at RT, had him listed on the website ther until about the second week of camp.

After his first day at guard, his position was changed on the website.

Fair enough. Maybe they liked his size, 335 is a big man. Maybe they should make him a NT./jk

I think it's certainly possible that the Chiefs drafted Brown to be a guard all along. They just wanted to see if he could play RT. It's not like we don't need a RG too and it's not like we used a high pick on the guy.

Were there more athletic linemen available? Absolutely. But, athleticism for an offensive lineman isn't as important as size, strength, intelligence, and technique (no particular order).

Brown has the first 3 attributes and they can teach him the last one.

I could not agree more, (although 4.8 seems more within the realm of possibility) I could care less about what his shorts & t-shirt speed measures at, he is explosive and powerful.

In what may appear a hypocritical stance, I also pray Taylor Mays slides to us, because a physical freak with his desire for greatness is a true rarity. His film is satisfactory, but not spectacular. However, the value of a talent of his caliber with the will to improve himself is uncommon.

NFL network just said his best time was 4.69.

not very fast but i think he put a shit ton of reps at the bench press

Good. Maybe he will slip to the 2nd round, but I doubt it.
