Brown is probably a guy that varies wildly from team to team in rankings as I could see him being maybe top 5 on some and 15+ on others. All it takes is one or two team specific scouts to really fall in love with a non-consensus player or two to alter the landscape of their list. Scouts are human like fans in that some will have personal biases as will GM's. The consensus lists due to their larger scope are probably better indicators of a player's worth than individual teams that may have their own criteria although the individual teams may have more chance of unearthing gems because of their focus on a certain criteria. The Flames focused on talent above all else in the draft that Gadreau got taken in the 4th round while a lot of teams passed on him due to his size.
