Panthers trade for the 43rd pick from the 49ers and select....

[Kevin Greene]

Everette Brown DE

Brown is a dynamic rush end who plays with a high motor and has tremendous quickness. He has an elite first step and a few signature moves that allow him to get up field. He's incredibly strong, featuring a 480-pound bench press, and uses quickness and strength to his advantage. He uses his hands effectively, demonstrates good balance and coordination, and transitions well with the action. - Chris Steuber, Scout.com

Pick Analysis: The Panthers pick up a pass rusher who many teams rated as a first-round prospect. The former Seminole has an exceptional first step and is crafty working around the edge. Although he lacks ideal size, his ability to get to the quarterback is a welcome addition to a roster that had only one true pass-rushing threat (Julius Peppers) prior to draft day.

Scout.com had him the #2 rated DE, Mayock had him #3.

Seems good, Everette Brown is who we would have taken if we still had our first round pick this year. He is top twenty talent.

Seems good, Everette Brown is who we would have taken if we still had our first round pick this year. He is top twenty talent. Not to mention that he is a position of need for us. We can always trade Peppers next year.

Damn I was happy as hell till I learned we gave up our 1st round pick for next year. wtf!

[Woodcookedbbq]

I just noticed he's from NC. I wonder if he's happy about being able to play in his home state?

Yeah I think that was too much. I mean we traded a 1st in a stronger draft for a 2nd in a weaker draft.

Next years draft is solid and this year is weak!! Im not a fan of this at all
