While not the sexiest name spinning around the NFL trade rumor mill, Orlando Brown Jr. nevertheless represents one of the most potentially important dominos that could fall before the NFL Draft. A two-time Pro Bowler who proved he could dominate on the left side of the line in 2020, Brown has all the makings of a blindside anchor for a franchise willing to trade for him. No franchise is more dire need of making that deal than the Indianapolis Colts.
Following the retirement of Anthony Castonzo, the Colts have a gaping hole at left tackle with no clear path toward filling it. What s more, they just traded for quarterbackCarson Wentz, who struggled mightily under pressure with the Eagles in 2020. If the Colts want to get the best return on investment from Wentz, they need to protect his blindside. No one is better suited to do so than Brown.
