Other than that, I tend to agree with you. Fwiw, Brown is 2 inches taller than Tavon, but I don't know how much of a difference that really makes -- you better be able to separate from DB's consistently via crisp route running if you're under 6 feet tall at this level.

just caught fire in the Pros. Looking at his Combine performance, he wouldn't have blown away anyone either. Austin's was much better there, too.

But you're right. Brown runs great routes. I also don't think it hurt him that Big Ben's his QB. Austin was hurt by the QB issues endemic to the Rams -- at least until Goff. And the horrible offensive scheme.

Speaking of being hurt: I think the Rams basically destroyed Brian Quick's career. If he had been drafted by Pittsburgh, Green Bay or New England, I'm betting he would have been just fine. Likely, All-Pro.

Was against the TA pick from Day One. But I do admire his guts. For something that small, he always played big, fearless and didn't back down. It's a shame it didn't work out.

  Austin had a better college career. But Brown . . .
