A lot of mocks have us taking Anthony Davis. Good analysis of the two tackles.

He likes Brown the best. Maybe the Niners see it that way too.

Wow. After reading that, I'd be much more comfortable with Brown at #17 over Davis--and I really didn't like either of them before.

Spiller at 13 Brown at 17 would be a great 1st round.

So do we play Brown at LT or RT?

RT. I believe he played mostly LT at USC but played some RT as well.

He should be fine at RT. Brown or Davis, I'm fine with either one.

Now maybe some people will get off my back about projecting the 49ers to take Brown at #17 instead of Davis.

Nice break down. I'd still prefer Davis over Brown. Now if they moving Staley back over to RT then i would have no problem with Brown, i just see him getting overpowered. but his pass protection skills are more than solid.

OTC, do you see Brown as RT or LT with us?

RT to start. Then a move to LT. I don't think the team would be comfortable letting a rookie, no matter how good, handle Alex's blind side in his first year.

But he would be a better RT than Adam snyder...but that's not saying much I guess.

Agree. I really like that Brown seems to be a real clean player off the field also. Seems like a real nice person.

Brown's a good fit for a team needing a zone blocking LT.

I don't think that's the tackle we're looking for. We already struggle at opening holes for Gore I don't think we need another tackle who can't get a push in the run game.
