WELCOME TO BALTIMORE: HOLLYWOOD BROWN!

[redrum52]

I don't really watch college ball... But why is it that every play I've seen from him is running a straight line? Also, seem to keep going to that Sooners well on O. Shit, worked out so far, so I'll have faith. BIG play potential. Just curious what other have to say about his routes and hands.

I feel like Harbaugh didn't even realize he was a wr. Just figured we'd finally have someone to return kicks.

Steelers like, "Okay, we got a lb to contain Lamar. Nothing to worry about... Fuck!"

When they traded up I called Bush and just hoped they wouldn't address the secondary.

 

[purplepittabread88]

Nah, I harp on Skura and Hurst, but at least they can pass protect if the gameplan isn't utterly predictable.

We just won't be able to run the ball without a gimmick again.

They are very reactive guys, it's ass for our run mauling but they are good guys for a scrambling qb pass pro wise.

I can not wait to play as this team in Madden holy fuck.

Didn’t he work at a Six Flags to pay for college.

Yes the Magic Mountain that half of my friends work at! Full Throttle, big silver coaster with a big ass loop.
I'm taking photo history at His juco for credits too right now lol

 

[purplepittabread88]

My high school plays their games at Cougar Stadium (Brown's Juco), so Tim White Kyle Boller and now Brown are all guys of legends in my town and it's awesome. Can't lie and say I remember him specifically but I would go to the games from time to time a few and followed his story once he made Oklahoma.
It makes it really easy for me to love this guy, hopefully he turns out better than the other guys we've produced.

Fun fact: I was born in Hollywood FL too, does that make me special

Routes and hands are for real. He’s absolutely a route runner, and at 170 is still one of the better catchers in this class with few drops and a number of catches through contact and in traffic.

Being 170, coming off a lisfranc, and being ABs cousin are all my reasons for worry. Along with not being sold that he’s a good fit, I don’t know that this offense utilizes him well

No, just a virgin

Congrats to Eric on a great first round. A legit threat WR and 2 additional picks.

Hope the rest of the draft goes as well.

 

[Grim]

If he stays healthy he’ll be amazing. His weight and frame have me very cautious on that. He’s definitely the best WR in the draft from a skill level, but I try to look at the whole picture. That said, he should definitely make us faster on offense with Lamar.

I hear ya. He has a small frame so so we’ll have to see how durable he is. I love the possibilities though.

 

[Nurps]

Im just glad we have someone with diamonds on their teeth on the roster. Its about time

 

[Willbacker]

Really hate seeing the Patriots take my #1 choice but the things I could see us doing with Hollywood are out of bounds. Not only deeps just to spread the field but quick slants with yac, wr screens and jet sweeps really adds a lot to this offense.

So who's next. Andy Isabella. Then we have some serious speed.

Could be a distraction on a sunny day.

 

[Nurps]

Could be a distraction on a sunny day.

In all honesty, Im stoked for this pick. I hope he and Lamar just Florida it up and ball the hell out

 

[Justin Diaz-Thomas]

if we can swing a trade up for Ford i'm gonna cream myself

 

[RL52TheGreatest]

Hollywood is that playmaker that we've been missing on offense who can take any pass to the house. Can't wait to see him and Lamar build chemistry. Now we just need to fix our O-line.

 

[JoeyFlex5]

Brown pick is growing on me, it’s just an exciting player, and the most natural receiver the ravens ever drafted, perriman torrey and Taylor were all projects, Clayton was less of a project but had injuries and drops. Brown is a route runner, he’s a playmaker, he’s a natural receiver, he’s all of it, once he’s 100% healthy he’s a day one starter and the best receiver on our team, but god damn I hate that lisfranc and his lack of size, I can’t believe so many people seem to be ignoring the fact that he weighed in at 166...

I think part of that is how soft the league is becoming. It's not as much of an issue as it was before.

Was a concern for me, but happy to hear that outside of the injuries, it's a good pick. Also, we drafted one of @Sami84's guys, so want to see how this pans out. Seems we will be approaching the offense with a speed kills philosophy... AND I LOVE IT. Can't wait for the 3rd round.
