I feel very lonely as someone not wanting a top 10 DT.....

Anyone still salty over Gettleman being fired is as bad as Nails is with Hardy.

Im not salty at all. Just thought it was funny that all these advanced stats are essentially what some dinosaur (or preceived) thought. Lighten up bud.

Derick Brown is one of the best players in the draft and is as close to Suh coming out as you can get, I'd be ecstatic with him at 7.

Close in that they both had great tape, but Suh was more explosive and the testing backs that up.

Not only was Suh better in pretty  much every category, Brown is actually worse than the majority of his draft class.

I love Brown's tape, especially as an Auburn fan, but there is legit concern if his production will translate at the next level in regards to being able to rush the passer.  7 is high to be picking a DT to stop the run.

Going into the combine I thought he was one of our best realistic options at 7.  I would be inclined to Okuda if he is there, Simmons if he fits our defense, or trade down now.

Just saw this, after my earlier post

if I’m picking top-10 I want:

great tape

great measurables

high value position

good enough character to not waste my draft pick 

I’m trying to reduce my chances of being wrong

One thing I really like about Brown is his motor. He never gives up, he just wears people down. Not too common for someone his size. And one of the things you can’t test for at the combine. Would have been great to test better, but his in-game performance and motor is just something else. Him or Okundah are my two choices.

In order, my preferences are: Brown, Okunda or trade back (if possible).
