Khalif Barnes or Jamaal Brown

BRSaintsFan · 04-13-2005, 11:31 AM

I have seen on some sites that many are considering Barnes to be the better prospect. I would say that he has greater potential, but that Jamaal Brown is a sure bet. Which one would you guys rather--a guy who could be the next Willie Roaf or the established player??

I would take Brown before Barnes, because he is a solid RT who is ready to play now. We don\'t have the luxury of a \"could\" on Barnes unless we were to trade down and were able to get him late first or early second cause he would then definitely be the best available.

I like Khalif. I\'ve read he\'s a better LT prospect than Brown. He\'d play RT for a year or two then move over. I think Khalif would also start day one at RT, no question.

But you\'re right. Jammall Brown is a can\'t miss RT who will start from day one and be a solid RT for a decade, with frequent trips to Hawaii in February.

But on opening day, Brown would be better at RT than Barnes. But both would be an upgrade over Riley and allow Mayberry to play his pro-bowl position, OG.

I\'d be happy with either.

Couldn\'t echo that sentiment any better Danno. Either would be great, cause allowing Mayberry to stay at guard would be ideal, and we would have one of the better right sides of the line in the league. As long as Montrae stays solid and improves at LG, I think we could survive old man Gandy one more year at LT.

I like Brown too. But hey with Gandy one more year, maybe he can improve on his career reception totals. Im sorry, I couldnt resist.

on the mark danno. different yet similar in value. just don\'t let them take a 3rd ranked guard like marcus johnson to become a tackle! another outsmarting the rest of the league pick could push me to the darkside.

from the consensus of what I\'ve read Brown could be the top tackle in this draft...barnes-He\'s just so hit or miss...
