I have him listed in the dynasty stash category. Brown caught the eye of some draft analysts as a potential mid-round linebacker who could compete for an ILB role. He's a developmental prospect behind Spikes, but I don't see him as more than a base defense, between-the-tackles player in the long term.Any thoughts on Buffalo Bills rookie 3rd round draft pick LB Preston Brown as a potential dynasty stash?
Wondering since recent reports that projected starting MLB Brandon Spikes is being used on special teams for the first time in is career possibly hinting he wont be a full time starter leaving open some PT for Brown who has been getting 'decent' mention from the coaching staff.
Solidly built at 6'1 251 lbs, looks the part of a strong run defender but other than that I don't know much about him.
Just wondering your thoughts on Bills 3rd round rookie LB Preston Brown since he's not listed even as a dynsasty stash.
I'm not a big fan of Kirksey, but it's hard to ignore a third round pick in today's draft value, especially one tabbed by an aggressive coach like Pettine who wants to put his stamp on the Cleveland defense. And Craig Robertson is nowhere near talented enough to keep a priority rookie in a developmental role. Unless Kirksey completely flops in the preseason or misses lots of developmental time to injury, he has an excellent chance to start right away and play every down.SIDE NOTE: I originally thought the buzz given to Browns rookie LB Christian Kirksey was premature because I felt it was based on Pettine's work last year with Kiko Alonzo moreso than any talent Kirksey brough to the table but in a suprise Christian has been getting solid reports from recent OTAs and first day of mandatory mini camp.
Add reports came out that his college coach has had trouble finding a replacement for his leadership on the recruiting trail at Iowa.
I won't compare Kiko with Kirksey but it is possible that Christian 'might possibly' wind up starting or earning decent playing time in his rookie season.
