Derrick Brown=AN ABOSULTE WIN (Lines Out & Collapsing the Pocket)

[saX man]

I'm going to assume we've all been viewing the team through the same lens these past few years. Soooo the thing that has INFURIATED me the most, undoubtedly, is the inability to collapse a pocket without a blitz.  We just couldn't. You would watch our defense and they were push backed by OLs repeatedly.  Love, Addison, Short, Obada, retreads, whoever the heck it was, we just weren't getting it done. Like, at all.   

We just made a GINORMOUS step by selecting a guy who can legitimately play every single spot on a line, in even and odd fronts.  Just watch this guys work.  he brings it every snap, he mauls. 

At 6'5 325, Brown brings a size that many DTs are "boom/bust" types but he's the most well rounded, agile and large specimen combo I've seen on the DL I've seen in years.   

It was known how much he led the Auburn defense, on and off the field.  Coaches loved him, players loved him, players listened to him. 

So with Burns going into year 2, Kerr and Weatherly coming in as rotation, we've now added Derrick Brown.

High floor, high ceiling. 

This monster is in the mix:

Feel good folks.  Simmons is just some OLB. 

 

 

 

[Smithers]

Best possible pick.  Best player available and also filled a HUGE need.  Wouldn’t be shocked if we add at least one more DT in the draft.

Ignorant needless statement. You lost credit at that point

Kerr and Weatherly aren't even real people

You're weird clown avatar guy

I agree. Its not the sexy pick, but I'd love to have this guy on my side of the ball. Watching him play in a division where the winner could come and beat the bottom 5 teams in the NFL, he flat out dominated. This dude is All American, soon to be All-Pro. The fact that makes it cemented is the guys motor is matched by his mental. He leads, he learns and he eats. 

 

Make no mistake, Luke left a VOID. And this is just the first step to filling that hole.

Khalil Davis a possible midround pick.

I'm just trying to put in context our biggest arguable issue these past 3 years.  We couldn't put consistent dents in lines and quickly to rattle these younger mobile QBs.  This is just a super solid pick.  All good things dudes and dudettes. 

[JawnyBlaze]

Totally agree sax

[RenoCarolina]

yes, I wanted the next coming of Luke.  

But our team does not have that luxury.  We had to have.  Repeat, HAD to have a DL.  

[davos]

Super excited for this guy.  Right on.

[MMA]

We suck

Simmons isnt Luke, he is TD
