I don't know how many times I've read this since the pick was made...but its just wrong.
Lets look at the numbers
Tytus Howard - 6'5 - 322
Arms - 34
40 - 5.05
bench - 21
vert - 29.5
broad - 8'07
shuttle - 4.87
3-cone - 8.34
Duane Brown - 6'5 - 310
Arms - 33.75
40 - 5.08
bench - 24
vert - 27.5
broad - 8'08
shuttle - 4.52
3-cone - 7.58
If your comparing average humans, then yes, they are very similar big men.
If your comparing Left Tackles, then no, they look like two different positions.
Left Tackle needs big, strong and most of all agile. Shuttle and 3-cone should be where a future left tackle stands out among the other players on the O-line. Duane's 4.54 and 7.58 were good. His shuttle was 3rd best among tackles at the combine I think. Tytus's 4.87 is in the 20-25th rank of tackles this year. 3-cone is even scarier. So please don't compare them anymore. I hope Howard can make me look like an idiot and play even better than Duane Brown. But, I think its a stretch to think he can physically play left tackle at a high level when Mr.Davenport can move better and we know how good he is.
