Ravens RT Orlando Brown started 10 games this year and went the entire season without allowing a sack, per @PFF. Ravens got an absolute steal by drafting him in the third round.

I'm convinced he took it easy during the combine stuff and maybe had a private workout with the Ravens to show his stuff.

he wanted to come here and we wanted him. win/win.

just speculation. can't prove anything of course...

I sort of believe this as well. That combine took him out of the first found for sure. Maybe Ozzie had a little deal with him from the jump. It doesn't make sense to me that some drills can kill someones stock like that. One more draft and the OL should be top notch.
 
I doubt he deliberately underperformed in the combine so we could draft him, unless he does not care about money at all as it means he took a significant pay cut.

True, but you can also become a FA earlier and go to a team you feel will have your best interest. Pretty sure he doesn't need the money as much as other guys either.
 
Rumors that the dolphins are looking to package a trade for harbaugh.

From total pro sports though so I disregard it.

I don’t think just doing poorly on drills was the whole reason, I think teams looked at it as a sign of a lack of drive and commitment.

Totally agree. I can’t imagine anyone turkey believes this, especially how deep in the 3rd round we actually drafted Zeus jr
 
genuinely great point - if they somehow corrupt juju ill be so pissed - he was one of my favourite guys in that class and as much as i hate that he's a steeler i cant help but like him - that locker room better not turn him to the dark side - ill be gutted if that happens
I like JuJu as a player, but he’s a Steeler now. He’s already on the dark side to me. Corruption is inevitable.
