Saints announce signing of Charles Brown

There was a lot of hand-wringing about the pace of rookie signings this year, even though it was ahead of pace from last year. Now that training camp is fast approaching, the rookie signings are starting to snowball.  Shocker.

The latest second round pick to sign on the dotted line was Charles Brown, the final pick of the round.  The USC product saw his draft stock slip because of injury concerns, but he has top-tier talent if the Saints can coach him up.

Jermon Bushrod will start at left tackle to open the season, but it wouldn’t surprise us if Brown sees the field plenty this season.

    Bad move. All those years of Lucy yanking the ball having taken their toll.

    That’s a shame that his draft stock dropped.
    He never would have been injured if Lucy hadn’t pulled the ball on him when he was attempting a field goal.

    “Saints pause never-ending, bad-karma-inducing Super Bowl celebrations long enough to sign draft pick.”

    Although i can usually figure it out in context, it would be nice if every once in a while this site identified a player’s position.

    I guess Linus is next, or Peppermint Patty. He could play!

    there’s still plenty left.
    AAAAAAAAAAARGGHHH!!!
    or you could have gone a little bit more obscure with:
    “why’s everybody always picking on me?”

    horns62,
    Usually if PFT names a player you can “left-click” on his name and his Rotoworld profile comes up.
    Anyway he plays Left Offensive Tackle…Mr. Evan Silva had him going to the Raiders at #8 in the FIRST ROUND of his well-researched Mock Draft on PFT.
    Mr. Silva was only off by about 56 draft position (being the 64th player picked and the LAST player in the 2nd Round).

    I hope they don’t call him “blockhead.”

    I wonder if his signing bonus was a bag of rocks!!!
