Since Sapp.....now Brown is no Sapp

 

I know, he's even larger.  And I'm citing someone else who said that comparison. 

I've been touting him for a bit, over Okudah and over Simmons.  He is a monster.  He had to get TRIPLE teamed against LSU. 

This is a beheamoth of a man who doesn't really have a comparison.  Mauler, disruptor, high character, leader.  Athletic linebackers are cool too but c'mon folks!

[top dawg]

Slam dunk once Okudah was gone! The Lions should've went with the big guy, but he fell to us, and our defense just got a lot better!

lmao idk try watching football

So the Panthers had one of the most pathetic run defenses ever and we take the best DT in the draft by a wide margin and you guys are mad we didn't take a hybrid Shaq Thompson type?

Excellent pick, will set the tone on our defense for 10+ years. My favorite DT in years.

I bet he will be gone in 5 years when is contract is out

This is fine by me. Everything starts at the line. Also, Hurney has a good record with his first round picks.

Now someone knock him out for the rest of the draft, please!

Same.  He's just a monster.  You look at him and then the rest of the DTs like Blacklock, Elliott, Madibuike, etc. and there's just no comparison.  Kinlaw was close on his "on" games but this is a phenomenal choice.  We've got our new defensive captain, centerpiece of the line, and some who can actually COLLAPSE A POCKET! Yeaaaah

Tampa Bay. Warren Sapp?

Baltimore Ravens Haloti Ngata

New England Patriots Vince Wilfork

Chicago Bears The fridge?

 

Every position on the field has its importance, but one thing is certain. You don't win championships if you don't win in the trenches. 

Ravens won bc of Flacco. Patriots won bc of Brady. Don’t play that bull$hit with me

 DERRICK BROWN | Auburn 6045 | 326 lbs. | SR.
Sugar Hill, Ga. (Lanier)
4/15/1998 (age 22.02)
BACKGROUND: Derrick Brown was born in Starkville, Miss., where his parents graduated from Mississippi State. He moved to the Atlanta area at 3 and started playing football at 9, although basketball was his first love growing up. In high school, Brown, who lettered in basketball and football at Lanier, blossomed into a star on the defensive line, recording 101 tackles, 26 tackles for loss and 17.5 sacks as a junior in 2014. He earned numerous All-American and player of the year honors as a senior with 106 tackles, 42 tackles for loss and 13 sacks, also lining up as a wildcat quarterback and pass-catching tight end.
A five-star defensive tackle recruit, Brown ranked as the No. 1 recruit in Georgia and the No. 9 player nationally. He was one of four interior defensive line recruits ranked in the top 10 behind Rashan Gary, Dexter Lawrence and Ed Oliver. Brown narrowed his college choice to Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, Mississippi State and Tennessee, committing to the Tigers. His father, James, was in the Army and currently works as a court officer for the Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Department. His mother, Martha, played basketball at Holmes Community College (Miss.). His younger brother, Kameron, is a freshman linebacker at Auburn. Brown has a 1-year old son, Kai, with his girlfriend, Tayla Main, who he has been dating since high school. He graduated with his degree in business marketing (December 2019). Brown received an invitation to the Senior Bowl but declined.

STRENGTHS: Initial quickness to create immediate knock-back off the snap, resetting the line of scrimmage...upper body power to be a people mover, forklifting blockers or bullying bodies in his path...impressive range, body control and flexibility for his size to create pursuit plays...long arms to stand up blocks and control the point of attack...welcomes double-teams and torques his body to hold his ground...quick to locate the football and shut down run lanes...smart, opportunistic player, recognizing screens or making plays on the ball...self-starter who affects the game with his effort...his parents instilled structure in his life at a young age and he is described as a locker room leader by his Auburn teammates...durable and didn’t miss a game over his four-year career at Auburn.
WEAKNESSES: Not an efficient pass rusher...relies too heavily on his bull rush and must develop his secondary moves when piecing together a rush plan...gets himself in trouble when his pads rise and hands wander...room to improve his snap anticipation...bruised his sternum (September 2019) and required extra padding under his jersey, but didn’t miss a game.
SUMMARY: A three-year starter at Auburn, Brown lined up primarily as the nose tackle in defensive coordinator Kevin Steele’s four-man front, but his versatility made him interchangeable at three-technique or edge rusher (Steele: “Derrick does things that only the best of the best of the best can do.”). Although his college production doesn’t match his talent level, his impact was far greater than the numbers, facing frequent double-teams on tape. Brown is the rare example of a 300- plus-pound lineman who is explosive in his upper and lower bodies, firing off the ball and dictating the point of attack. A naturally powerful human, he is comfortable as a two-gapper, standing up blocks, locking out and finding the football. Overall, Brown displays the explosive strength to be a scheme-diverse NFL run defender with the athletic traits and motor to continue and grow as a pass rusher, projecting as a Pro Bowl level player anywhere from the zero to five-technique positions.
GRADE: 1st Round
