Well to be fair, Brady said he was the toughest in the SEC specifically. Who's to say he didn't have a tougher time with Simmons in the national championship game.

The triple teams would probably suggest that but I get the Clemson fanbase is just gonna refuse to accept this pick for awhile

Our own little Warren Sapp. I live the pic

The pick feels slighty boring but not gonna object too strongly to the coaching staff wanting a 49ers South kinda defensive front. He seems fine, might even surprise and be a Kris Jenkins type. That's the best case scenario even though he's well regarded already.

I’ll take a guy that has been compared to Gerald McCoy after losing an older McCoy. When Tampa drafted McCoy he brought an impressive power with him and defined that defense for a decade. 
 

I see the same with Brown.

Brady and Brees give zero fugs about a push up the middle. 

I didnt like the pick bc I dont see him being who they tout him to be in the pros, but I hope I'm wrong.  Regardless, if he does become that guy, it's invaluable.  I've been saying it for years, especially under Rivera, that part of our problem on defense was our inability to get pressure up the middle.  Even with KK, we tended to run a lot of stunts with him ending up rushing from the edge.  When you go back and watch our games against Brees, watch how many times Brees waits for our rushers (DTs too) to run around him and then he steps up straight through the gaping hole in the middle of the pocket.  It's almost every play.

Lol.... That is literally the last thing they want to face. Their quick release and short routes can compensate for an edge rush, not so much when a lineman gets pushed into them as they throw

The moment this was the pick I knew Brady had a part, Brown wrecked that LSU offensive line better than any team. I love the pick.

That's cool and all, but that's one game. He was borderline ghost against Bama, and a few other teams. I don't love the pick, when even the Panthers said there was someone else on the board they loved more, but they have so many needs they didn't take him. LOL.

I'm with you on everything you stated. Not a reach by any means, but I just don't see it with him.

Right. Sounds like absolute BS getting made up to for your narrative now. Please show me where they said “yeah we actually liked someone better but had to take Brown” because I’m pretty sure nobody says that right after picking their new defensive centerpiece at 7

As the Saints draft another interior offensive lineman early...

Just gave you what David Newton said. Not a BS narrative. Read into the tea leaves, makes perfect sense. 

Want more?

I know something about you.

I know you never watched a single game Derrick Brown ever played.

What a weird criticism...are people like Linville dolts for thinking that Gettleman would take him at 4?

The Giants had been telegraphing OT as the pick for a while. It was a top heavy OT draft. It was fairly obvious.

Yeah, that's incorrect. I watched a lot of Auburn games. He played decent against Oregon, but other than that he was meh besides the LSU game. Not a fan of an inconsistent player. And I know something about you, Auburn homer gonna Auburn homer.
