This name is included in too many Rams mock picks out there!
How well do you know what Zach Brown does on the football field? Don't let the measurables, sexy speed & rating, or any jiber-jaber hype fool ya on how good he "could" be.
This is for your own good :)
Peruse his play in the samples below and keep in mind the following notes in bold:

Like his fellow Tar Heels with first-round potential, there are questions surrounding other aspects of Brown's game and life. He has shown a tendency to disappear for long stretches and will need to be reeled in while sticking to the playbook at the next level to assure that he is playing to his potential. While Brown could stand to put on some weight, there are very few things that Brown needs to do physically to mold his game for the next level; many of the (necessary) changes revolve around his work habits.

Then maybe get acquainted with Nigel Bradham and Bob Wagner?
Here is another interesting tidbit for you:
According to CBS Sports' Rob Rang, multiple NFL scouts have compared North Carolina LB Zach Brown's instincts as a linebacker to Aaron Curry's.
"That's no compliment," warns Rang. Brown runs 4.50 at 6-foot-1, 244, and possesses 33 1/4-inch arms to excel in pass coverage. Rang considers Brown a potential workout wonder, though. "(Brown) is a passive 'chase' linebacker who consistently runs around blocks rather than fighting through them," writes Rang. Rotoworld draft analyst Josh Norris has also questioned Brown's toughness. Source: CBS Sports Feb 29 - 5:58 PM
