He joined the Los Angeles Rams out of Texas State as a 250-pound tight end.Times change.Unable to crack the wide receiver lineup at OSU, Brown switched to a fullback “Cowboy” role after his redshirt sophomore season. A move to TSU though helped him break out in a new way at tight end with more than 50 receptions and five receiving touchdowns along with two rushing touchdowns as their bulldozer back.Clearly, there’s a baseline athleticism to work off of.Will that be enough?Roster BattleI suppose it depends on what position he’s looking at Nicholas Scott Jersey nfl draft , but I’m not sure he has one on offense. If we’re taking him on as a tight end, he’d be fighting for a TE3 spot against Johnny Mundt and Kendall Blanton.I think at this point though, it’s more honest to look at him as fighting for a special teams spot.ExpectationsNo, but given his frame he’s going to be impossible to ignore once we get to training camp.Chances of making the final roster (1.5/10)It’s a thin shot, but it’s a shot. If the coaching staff finds his offensive potential intriguing Big And Tall Nicholas Scott Jersey , that might be enough to get him to the practice squad. His only shot at the 53-man though is going to be on teams.

State Wolfpack C Garrett Bradbury.As I mentioned yesterday in our look at ESPN’s dual mock from Mel Kiper From China Nicholas Scott Jersey , Jr., and Todd McShay, Bradbury and Clemson Tigers DL Dexter Lawrence lead the way in the SB Nation Mock Draft Database:So the idea of taking an offensive lineman isn’t all that radical.But with Wilson sending Bradbury to the Baltimore Ravens at #22, that option’s off the board. Instead, Wilson mocks the Rams to take:Risner’s an interesting prospect with a history at center and right tackle. Obviously with the Rams having extended Rob Havenstein through the 2022 season Ndamukong Suh Jersey , the right tackle spot is sealed up. Perhaps though, Risner would offer viability as an option at right guard to compete with 2018 starter Austin Blythe or to compete with C Brian Allen for the starting center job vacated by John Sullivan’s release or as a potential left tackle successor for LT Andrew Whitworth. The Rams’ offensive line is undergoing such overwhelming turnover (three 2018 Week 1 starters gone next year at a minimum) that the position flexibility that Risner offers makes it tough to know what the plan would be with him out of the gate.We know that kind of flexibility is something that attracts Rams Offensive Line Coach/Run Game Coordinator Aaron Kromer as he mentioned in the most recent episode of Behind the Grind:On to Round 3.Down at 94, Wilson addresses the position with the least long-term security on the roster: cornerback.He reminds me of a bit shorter version of former Rams CB Trumaine Johnson. The roster gap is obvious so no issue there. Just so many options for mid-round corners. Hard not to love many of the prospects at this point.Five picks later?With DL Ndamukong Suh gone and DL Michael Brockers likely playing his last season as a Ram, the roster gap’s clear. Willis is an interesting prospect though for a couple of reasons. His tape is pretty strong and has an obvious plus natural skill set as one of the top recruits in the country in 2014 for the Florida Gators. But Willis’ behavior has to be a legitimate red flag that teams will have needed to probe to really find out what makes him tick. He ended up only spending a year in Florida with plenty of controversy as he missed two game for undisclosed off-field incidents and even got in a fight with the backup quarterback over some shoes. He transferred to Miami and had to sit out 2015, but after playing in 2016 the team announced Willis would “take a leave of absence” from the team in July only for him to return to participate on the scout team for the entire year. His 2018 season was the closest thing to making good on his potential Brandin Cooks Jersey , but his collegiate career was ultimately completely derailed by his off-field resume. While his previous teams’ preference to keep things private is their decision, there’s no way NFL teams would bring him on board without having full details on what went on in Gainesville and Coral Gables.Overall though, it’s an interesting mock. The roster gaps are fine, but is it too need-heavy? Would you have an issue as a fan taking a guy like Willis without knowing what went on even if you knew that the Rams knew everything?
