And why did everybody run the ball down our throats last year?  Cause we had an old and or depleted dline all year.  Brown was brought in to help that area.  The best run stuffing DT in the draft and you still crying. 

If he was on the team last yr it would be same results.He wouldnt have started so last yrs line is irrelevant ...im not generally  BPA guy but this yr I was  forSimmons ,in a long rebuild hes the one you go with...plenty of run stuffers out there...

Nah, he is going to be good but damn simmons would have been fun as hell to watch.  It is what it is but it does make you wonder when the cardinals needed a tackle badly and they still ran to the podium for Simmons

Auburn defensive line coach Rodney Gardner coached two great DTs at Georgia in Richard Seymour and Marcus Stroud. Seymour was the sixth overall pick in the 2001 NFL draft, Stroud the 13th. Gardner told me Derrick Brown, who went No. 7 to Carolina on Thursday night, is a combination of both and ahead of both entering his pro career. “The way he imposed his will, he was unbelievable,'' Gardner said. “You look at the film and you just say, ‘Wow!' Every game you had to account for Derrick Brown.''

Best pick they could make. High impact player at a position of great need. It should be fun watching him for years to come.

do people on here watch football or just play Madden? if you get manhandled up front it doesnt matter if you have luke kuechly patrick willis ed reed and deion sanders back there they will all be neutralized. our secondary consisted of mike mitchell, quinton mikell, josh thomas and drayton florence in 2013 and the only defense better than ours was arguably the best ever the 2013 seahawks because we pushed the pocket and clogged the run lanes. if QBs cant step up in the pocket and teams arent getting 4 yards a rush any offense will struggle to move the ball against you even if you have JAGs in the secondary

 

offense is definitely moving towards being dictated by skill players but defense always starts up front. its amazing that each team we fielded bottom feeder defenses and added elite linemen our defense became elite again (2001/peppers and jenkins, 2013/star and short) and people still wanna bitch about taking a menace d lineman at number 7 who most draft sites rated the 3rd best player in the entire draft

Ironic that the last 2 first picks of both coaching eras were auburn players.

—Panthers head coach Matt Rhule already understands the NFL. You win with big people, you win with the defensive line. Getting Auburn’s Derrick Brown at No. 7 was a huge win.
