Orlando Brown NFL Draft 2018: Scouting Report for Baltimore Ravens' Pick

POSITIVES

—His quick set is efficient and takes away pass-rushing lanes early in the rep.

—Is massive at 6'8" and 345 pounds with arms like fire hoses (35").

—When he's first to punch and locks his arms out, it's game over for defenders.

—Throws his weight around behind everything he does and can grind down defenders by the fourth quarter.

—His pass sets are effective and, at worst, create a deep pocket for quarterbacks to step into as Brown moves defenders around.

NEGATIVES

—Limited lateral agility shows up in reach technique.

—Technique in down blocks is poor, as he just leans his body on defenders rather than driving through them.

—Athletic testing caused major concern about his ability to compete consistently with NFL talent.

—Misjudges angles at the second level and often overruns targets or is beaten with agility in tight spaces.

—Quick defenders who can beat his arm length and get under his pads early can win reps consistently.

Orlando Brown OT NFL Draft

OVERALL

Orlando Brown's athleticism will always be a concern for a player of his size. He's a mountain, but the mobility and flexibility to handle NFL athletes is lacking and will have to be compensated for with sheer size and force. Brown's pass sets are surprisingly smooth and show flashes of a promising player who can develop into a quality starter. He's a project who, with good coaching, could become a starter soon.

GRADE: 6.00 (Late Round 3)
