Opinions on Malcom Brown

[Yoshinator]

We've talked about the D-Line a lot lately and who we want to draft and our opinion of all the D-Lineman. However someone lost in the shuffle is Malcom Brown. We've talked about every other one from Leonard Williams to Danny Shelton to Eddie Goldman to Carl davis and a couple more. I really haven't heard many opinions (if any) about malcom brown.

 

So my questions are, would you draft him, does he fit our scheme and basically where do you rank him among D-Lineman?

[That Guy]

My opinion is that he'll be gone before we pick at 29.  He's too good to slide to us.

[krunk]

Like him a lot.  I will assume the conversation has been short because not a strong likelihood we'll get him.

[CR91]

malcom brown isnt getting out of the top 20 let alone 29

[RealityIsLuck]

I like him, but think he'll be a better fit for a 4-3 DT. But he's also probably not there when we pick. I would rank him over Armstead, Davis, Goldman but under Shelton and Williams. Nice topic, good discusion about to start!

[Yoshinator]

This makes sense, Brown is the one guy I really know nothing about. He was flying under the radar here and I wasn't sure if he was a riser or a faller. Looks like he is one of the better DTs in this draft. If he doesn't fit our scheme as reality hinted though, I'd rather go for an arik armstead that is a project but a 3-4 guy.

It's true he would probably best meet his potential in a 4-3, but this man is truly scheme versitile.  He could play for us as a DT or NT and be our best lineman within a year.

Great player, if he falls out of top 15 he won't fall out of top 20.

Scheme I highly doubt scheme would effect his play. He is so versatile and a wall to run on. One of the best lineman coming out this year.

[Yoshinator]

I'm liking Brown a lot. If he fell close to 20 I would love to trade up and get him. The versatility is an invaluable thing. I haven't seen anything suggesting we've met with him or anything though, so it will be a long shot. Nice to know about him from you guys though. 

 

I appreciate it!

[Defjamz26]

I think he's a great player. One of the best lineman in this draft. He'd play DE for us though probably. I'd be surprised if he fell to 29.

[Gavin]

I like him but I think he wears down quickly and has to use his hands more consistently, I don't see effort from him on a down to down basis, Not much in the form of pass rush moves

[COLTS449]

I'd love it if he fell to 29, but that's why I don't mention him that much. I don't see him falling that far. We could trade up 4-5 spots for him though. The guys that'll probably be there when we pick are Phillips, Goldman, Davis, and Armstead.

I wanted him from Day 1 and followed his rise from late 1st Round mocks to middle in most.  I want HIM, but he is too good to pass up for teams like the Bears, Lions and others that need him...He gone.

 

Gavin:  He is a run stuffer that compares favorably to a healthy Art Jones.  Not worried bout the big boy's pass rush. If we were luck to have him...we could play 3 up front that demands double teams on every play.  Opens the door for our pass rush to be effective.

I saw quite a bit of pocket push from Brown when I watched.   I think he's more than a run stuffer.

I mean what college player has a lot of pass rush moves coming out of college anyway?

agreed.  Look at all of the 'Edge' LBs that appear to be projects.  I have talked about Brown in almost every thread.  I must be on ignore   Who cares right?  

[NewColtsFan]

The reason there's not much discussion on him is because nobody expects him to fall to 29.    He should be long gone.

 

He can play in any scheme and the Colts would grab him in a heart beat.....

 So that would be our 1st, 3rd, 4th, and 5th to get up to 20 based on the value chart.  He better be GREAT!

That's not right.

Interesting.  We usually share close to the same views on players but I see Brown differently.  He does need work on hands but I don't see him as a short stamina guy.  In fact from the tape he usually is the only player on the LH D that would consistently show up.

[HtownColt]

He's pretty good. Hope he falls like Shariff Floyd did

[Manning1887]

I would package our 3rd to move up and get him. 

[gacker65]

I like what I have seen with Brown.  I see him as a top 15 pick.  IMO, could go before Shelton.

 

If Brown dropped to us, I would pass on him.  Means something is wrong.

I've been pushing for either Brown or Goldman for months now.  .....the thing with Brown is that he's likely to go a bit earlier.  ....don't think he'll slide to us.  ......he's a terrific player.

[Track Guy]

He's a good player, he's scheme versatile but he may be even better in a 4-3 base. Should be gone by 29 too.
