I love his feet and hand placement. He moves really well, perfect for a zone scheme and he has experience playing RT.
I'm not sure where he will go in the draft but I'd take a flier on him.
Lmk what you think.

How can you want MM and TW back while also keeping Jimmy at 20+ million?
I agree center is the biggest issue on the line but MM's only issue isn't strength. He's been awful in pass protection with his feet and his hands. That's not something conditioning will fix.

At MM's best, he can be an average starter which is good enough provided we improve at IOL.

Center is my call too.
There are some guys out there who can play C & G.

Honestly having seen a bit of him, I feel like he's a lot more athletic than McGlinchey. Athletic people mover that plays with more quickness and power than McGlinchey could dream of. He's badly in need of some coaching but the raw athleticism and talent is all there.

18. Spencer Brown, Northern Iowa, offensive tackle Freakiest attribute: Chiseled size
NFL scouts are very intrigued by the towering FCS O-lineman who's 6-9, 325. The former tight end bench presses 500 pounds (despite 35-plus inch arms) and squats 600 pounds, going below parallel, says his position coach Ryan Clanton. "His flexibility and speed at his size is unmatched," the former Oregon offensive lineman said. "He's got Kyle Long's big, lean frame mixed with Mike McGlinchey's height. My favorite thing about Spencer is that he wasn't just born with it. This kid is from Lenox, Iowa, population 1,400. Farm kid, eight-man football tight end in high school at about 230 pounds. … He's currently 325 pounds and ripped. Work ethic is unmatched, love for the game is through the roof and has a crazy high ceiling. No fat on him."

My dude Spencer Brown had a day today at UNI Pro Day!! Ran a 4.88 40 at 6'8 310 Crazy agility numbers (4.34 SS and 6.96 3 cone)and put up 29 reps of 225 with almost 35 inch arms. He has gotten better every day of working together and can't wait to see what he does in the league.
