Malcolm brown can play both 1 and 3 tech,it would be a mistake to assume he is a strictly a 1 tech.I really like him but i bet he will be crazy good at the combine and go way up in the rankings.
I've watched a good bit of Brown. I can't quite decide if he would really be a 3tech option or just strictly a 1tech type player. He's a great college player no doubt. He has some quickness for a big guy, but a lot of his game is overpowering college players. I'm sure he will be a good 1tech in the NFL and would be a good Marinelli type 1tech; however, I don't know if he a true pass rushing type DT in the NFL.
This might only make sense in my own mind, but he seems like a guy that should either be rated much much higher than 20 something or he shouldn't be a 1st rounder at all depending on how good of a pass rusher he projects to be in the NFL. If he is a legit NFL pass rushing DT, then with his size he should go top half of the 1st. If he's not a legit NFL pass rushing DT then I don't see him as a good option as a 1st rounder.
