Give this guy a year to bulk up and develop and he will look like a legit first round talent. Alot of teams passed on him because he's only 6'1-6'2 but this guy makes plays. I'd much rather have him, than some height-weight-speed guy that never does sh-- on the field.

True, he's never going to be huge just because of his height. I can see him adding 10-20 lbs though. He might always be somewhat undersized but I think he'll be a great player for us regardless.

He's around the same size as Charles Johnson who's 6'2" 270

Truth be told though, there are plenty of successful DEs in the league the same size as Brown.

You don't have to weigh a lot to be stronger than the opposition.

CJ is pretty damn strong and he isn't all that big(compared to some DE)

As long as he is strong enough, his speed and technique will get the job done.(hopefully)

Should be interesting at camp seeing him line up against Otah.

Both are each other's greatest weakness.

It will be as simple as this. If Otah gets his hands on Brown, he's done. If Brown gets Otah moving side to side, he's done.

He said Saturday became “the best day ever” when the Panthers' coach John Fox phoned to tell him they'd traded up with San Francisco to select him with the No.43 overall pick of the draft

“Obviously for me to put on the uniform and to be in a great situation here in Carolina, for me, is the best thing that could've happened,” he said.

Brown led the ACC with 131/2 sacks and 211/2 tackles for loss last season and is expected to make an immediate impact on the Panthers' pass rush. He'll be a leading contender to start at left defensive end opposite four-time Pro Bowler Julius Peppers, who plays the right side.

Brown is smaller (6-11/2, 256 pounds) than the prototype defensive end, but the Panthers love his first-step quickness and strength.

He said he likes the fact that new Carolina defensive coordinator Ron Meeks coached two undersized but highly productive defensive ends as Indianapolis Colts defensive coordinator – Dwight Freeney (6-1, 268) and Robert Mathis (6-2, 245).

“It's encouraging,” Brown said of playing for Meeks. “(When) coach Meeks (was) in Indianapolis, those guys really knew how to get after the passer. They weren't the biggest players. But one thing about it, when you turn on that film, they were 100 miles per hour, to the echo of the whistle.

“That's the way I played at Florida State and that's the way I'm going to continue to play. The bill coach Meeks wants me to fill is the best bill I could have walked into, the best situation for me.”

Brown said he had spoken by phone with team owner Jerry Richardson, who was home recovering from his early February heart transplant surgery.

“He wasn't available to be here today, but in the conversation, it was very optimistic,” said Brown.

“He told me when I come back for minicamp (this weekend) to stop by. He really wanted to have a sit-down conversation with me and just go over the whole program, where we're headed and what it's going to take to get there.”

      Cowboys Trade for Jonathan Mingo

      By PantherBoy95 · Posted

      Yeah I'm not into college as much, so I admit not to having my own opinion about him coming out. But strictly watching ESPN shows, and going off of commentary at the time..It was a lot more 50/50 even on this board than what people like to remember and admit.  Yes many people had doubts and questions, but MANY people also thought he could possibly be the one. I was only versed enough to know that it was between he and CJ, but most pundits made it sound like either way we had a QB of the future, just different skillsets/traits.

      Cowboys Trade for Jonathan Mingo

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Jonathan Mingo to the Cowboys Cowboys receive: WR Jonathan Mingo, 2025 seventh-round pick Panthers receive: 2025 fourth-round pick  Dallas Cowboys: C Leave it to Jerry Jones to wait until after Dak Prescott is injured to go after another receiver. To be fair, the Dallas Cowboys have a real need for the position. CeeDee Lamb is a superstar, but Jalen Tolbert and Brandin Cooks haven't been the needle movers that the Cowboys were hoping for. Making a trade for a receiver wasn't a bad move, but the player that the Cowboys gave up three rounds of value to acquire is questionable. Jonathan Mingo checked a lot of physical and athletic boxes as the 40th-overall pick in 2023. Unfortunately, the 6-foot-2, 220-pound wideout has struggled to be a productive receiver at the NFL level. Some of that has to do with playing for the Carolina Panthers, but Mingo has seriously lacked efficiency at the position. Mingo has yet to record his first NFL touchdown, catching 55 passes for 539 yards. Per TruMedia, he has just 0.74 yards per route run in his career, which ranks 177th out of 186 receivers with at least 50 targets since the start of the 2023 season.Even though Mingo fills a need, that's a lot of value to give up for a receiver that's struggled so much at the NFL level. The good news is that he still has a couple more years on his rookie deal, so at least the Cowboys are getting a cheap developmental project to learn from a star like Lamb. Carolina Panthers: A Instead of trying to hold onto Mingo, the Panthers took what they could get, and that turned out to be way more than expected. Mingo quickly became expendable thanks to the rapid ascension of rookie receiver Xavier Legette. Along with a larger-than-life personality, Legette has hauled in 26 catches for 244 yards and four touchdowns. Three of those touchdowns have come in the last four games, with Legette becoming more and more of a focal point in Carolina's offense. For a team that needs to capitalize as much as possible on draft assets, moving up three rounds in the draft to move on from a disappointing draft pick feels like an absolute win. https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-trade-deadline-2024-grading-every-move/
