Name: Orlando Brown Position: Offensive Tackle School: Oklahoma Height: 6’8″ Weight: 345 Size Brown’s size is the primary attribute keeping him in the discussion as one of the better tackle prospects.

With the NFL Draft less than three weeks away, the Minnesota Vikings are in the midst of making final preparations for an incoming class of new rookies who they hope will put the finishing touches on the roster that will compete in 2018.
