red zone Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Anyone know what happend with Elton Brown at the combine? I think he was there but left early. If he's healthy and slips to far, he is a STEAL. I also didn't see Adam "Pac Man" Jones participate. He could be another steal if he slips a bit. Keep in mind, I'm thinking best player available more so than need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzmuda Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Elton Brown begged off both the Senior Bowl and the Combine. He's looking mighty flaky and appears to be a character risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cskin Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 crazy... the guy was a monster at UVA... and considered by most to be the #1 guard in the draft. Kinda reminds me of Dockery, who was considerd by most to be a 1st Round O-lineman.... yet he went to the combine and emitted a careless and indifferent attitude to the combine process. People said he seemed weird as well.. which is why he dropped to the third round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirk Diggler Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Back in December EB was a certain first rounder and a potential top 10 pick. He would have been the first interior Olineman to be taken that high since Chris Naeole back in 1997. Now, the man is in free fall. I would say that he is at best a late 2nd rounder and may even be available to us in the 3rd. Perhaps we could land a player with a big ol chip on his shoulder?

jkam Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Elton is apparently doing this on the advice of his agent. He has a private workout in Charlottesville later this month. Still think he will go early or mid 2d at worst. He's a good kid, and would be an absolute steal in the 2d. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Sick Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Also rumors spreading that Al Groh beats his players up physically. I still don't think he will last to the third round. He is top/mid 2nd at the worst, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO WAY is Elton slower than Dockery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinzFan007 Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 I think that Baas has moved into the top guard spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoofan Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Its my understanding that EB slipped on some ice prior to the senior bowl and was unable to participate. He may still be having some problems with his knee. At his best he was the most dominate OL I ever saw. He had a reputation for being a team player and very level headed so that the injury issue must be present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B&G Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 I really hope we pick up Elton and I'd love to get Heath Miller somehow. For sure Dockery needs someone to push him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
