New Orleans Saints- Jammal Brown, RT, Oklahoma

The Saints dealt a third rounder next year and exchanged their picks in the first round. Brown is more of a mauler than Barron, but frankly, and I asked Jerry Hanlon, who used to coach the line at Michigan, and he agreed with me, technique and footwork is more important for an offensive lineman than being a mauler. I really believe that, because the really good tackles today are not maulers, guys like Pace, Jones and Ogden seem to dominate because they have solid technique.

The Panthers will probably go offensive line here, but its also quite possible they could surprise us with another pick, maybe Derrick Johnson, maybe a defensive back/linebacker like Thomas Davis.
