2008 NFL Draft: 1.26 Duane Brown, OL, Houston Texans (via Baltimore via Jacksonville)
Huh. OK, well OL Duane Brown is a tackle prospect from Virginia Tech. The Texans moved down in the draft hoping a player they coveted would fall; but very few thought THIS was the prospect. Duane Brown was, by most accounts, projected as a mid-2nd rounder or 3rd rounder. Although the Texans see him as a tackle, some talent evaluators believe his future is as a guard. He’s tough, but his footwork isn’t consistent nor does he have great lateral movement.
Fantasy Impact: A reach for sure. The Texans were clearly higher on this guy than most.
