University of Connecticut defensive end Cody Brown, who's likely to make the shift to linebacker in the NFL, worked out for two teams last week. According to a source, the Denver Broncos linebacker coach, Don Martindale, flew in to put Brown through some drills on Friday, March 20, a day after the 6-foot-2, 244-pound defender worked out for the New England Patriots.

He has the initials to make some here happy

Combine numbers were very similar to Larry English. I think someone like this might be more likely than a day one pick (Brown seems to be a round 3-4 guy) as a higher pick still likely wouldn't be a 3 down player as a rookie then a developmental guy with solid upside makes sense to me.

I think he's a late 2 or early 3. Pioli may also be interested.

Heh. He doesn't have the TE skillz, though.

Agreed. IBBWT, as we must.

McShay has Cody Brown graded out as an 80 (low second round pick).

McShay considers him to be the best pass-rushing OLB out of the group of Matthews, Cushing, Sintim and Curry but he did mention this in the context of 4-3 OLBs though.
