I get the feeling you are arguing with something I never said.
Of all the LT candidates drafted in the first round last year, and there were either six or eight, I can't remember, Brown was almost universally considered the rawest. That's why he went last. He was drafted on potential, not college results. I'm sure that his technique on the first day of OTA's was just as weak as it was in college. OTA's were closed to the public, so message board posters really don't know how much he has improved so far.
When he gets to full contact with pads and practices are open to the public, I'm sure there will be posts discussing his progress or lack thereof. Arguing that he's the starter now is just arguing semantics.
If you look at my original post, I said I could see it going either way. If you think he has it locked up from the get-go, I think you are way off base.
By the way, if you think his pass blocking was his strength, go back and check to see how many sacks he gave up last year. He has a ton of potential but he's raw, raw, raw.
