Brown is an outlier in weight, but not skillset. Considering weight is not a permanent number, it's reasonable to not use it as a threshold for probability at a position where it doesn't matter a ton. If he jumps to 180, then what? Brown clearly shows elite speed on tape by the cushions he's given and the multiple highlights of home run speed. Not knowing the exact number seems like a manufactured reason to avoid him.FantasyFreak wrote: ↑Mon Apr 15, 2019 8:37 pm Heard this today, and the same question I was beginning to ask was actually asked, (in regards to Isabella) so I'm going to voice it. Only 1 WR in NFL history has weighed under 170 pounds and averaged more than 40 yards in his career (Anthony Carter). Interesting stat.
Brown is an outlier, plain and simple, so my argument is that if you're betting on the outlier in the first round, especially top half, it's just not good value. Amateur tape analysis aside, there is no quantifiable measurement on Brown's speed. Is he faster than Andy Isabella? I doubt it, we have his 40 time, which was also disputed that it might be in the 4.2's because of a problem with the laser. Hollywood Brown is a better prospect based on tape, but Isabella produced better numbers and is arguably faster, in fact, probably is. If I could get a guy like him in the mid 2nd as apposed to Brown in the early/mid first, I find that much better value.
Marquise Brown may hit in the NFL, but the odds say he won't. I actually hope he does, but I won't be investing an early pick on him.
He's really, really good at football.
