Charles Brown is an offensive tackle for the New Orleans Saints. He was drafted by the team in the 2010 NFL Draft with the lst pick in the second round (64th overall). He played his college ball at USC, and his high school ball at Diamond Ridge high school in Chino Hills, California. http://www.usctrojans.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/brown_charles00.html

Most NFL Draft pundits have Brown rated in the second half of the top ten for 2010 OT draft prospects, and around the 30th overall draft prospect in the 2010 NFL Draft. http://www.examiner.com/examiner/x-19045-NFL-Draft-Examiner~y2010m3d7-NFL-Draft-1010-Who-are-the-top-50-prospects-for-the-2010-NFL-Draft-part-three-2130

He has a first to second round draft grade, which means he could be selected late in the first round, or anywhere in the second. http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/prospectrankings/TSX/2010_OT Many NFL Mock drafts have him being taken in the early stages of round two. http://www.fftoolbox.com/nfl_draft/profile_display.cfm?Prospect_ID=2140

Brown is a converted Tight end, who started at USC as a back up LT and special team player in 2006. By 2007 he was the Trojans starting LT, and started all of the games there in 2008 when he earned an honorable mention to All Pac Ten. http://www.usctrojans.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/brown_charles00.html

The team that selects Brown will understand that he is still somewhat of a work in progress. He need to work on his technique and footwork, but is very athletic and was well coached in his time at USC. http://www.nfldraft101.com/profiles/80951/Charles_Brown.jsp

His only negative is a need to add bulk to his frame. He weighs in at 285lbs and may get dominated at that weight in the pro running game.
