Trent Brown has to get better as a run blocker. From PFF
During that three-year window, Brown ranked seventh among qualifying right tackles by surrendering pressure on just 5.6% of his pass-blocking snaps, and he was one of just five players to log at least 1,000 pass blocking snaps at right tackle and surrender no more than seven sacks.
As a run-blocker, Brown has been hit or miss from play to play as an NFL right tackle. From 2015-2017 he ranked 11th among qualifying right tackles by earning a positively-graded run-block percentage of 10.5%, but he also ranked dead last among the same group with a negatively-graded run-block percentage of 19.0%.
Over the first four seasons of his career, Brown has proven his worth as a serviceable NFL tackle who likely has even greater value to a team like Oakland, as he’s shown the ability to handle duties on both sides of the offensive line (second-year left tackle Kolton Miller ranked 41st out of the 42 qualifying left tackles last season with a 48.2 overall grade). Whether or not he lives up to his billing though as “highest-paid right tackle in the league” will largely depend on him becoming a more consistent run-blocker while maintaining the success he saw in pass protection during his time spent at right tackle for the 49ers.
