Brown signs!!

[scpanther22]

Most, but not all (Mayock) had him rated as the best DE in the draft and gave him a first round grade. As with any draft pick there is a potential for greatness, or bustness. I am just crossing my fingers it's the former. :thumbsup:

mayock had him as a 2nd round talent..

[QuasiYoda]

That is hugely incorrect. He is second round talent purely by scheme. Around 4 or 5 teams converted to the 3-4 this season and it left a lot of players like Brown well down the wish list.

What you will see in the coming few years is the resurgence of the 4-3 or other similar base defences. The sudden surge to the 3-4 will drain the 'pool' of players that are capable of playing it and allow teams that follow the traditional 4-3 D, to pick uup the players that better suit it. In fact, the reason teams are doing so well with the 3-4, is because only a few teams originally employed it, allowing them the pick of the bunch of players that suited the scheme. Now it's a different kettle of fish. It's swings and roundabouts and a players worth in the NFL draft, is purely a reflection of the dominant schemes in the NFL at that specific time.

Brown was a first round player. His RECORD showed that. Players were picked above him because they simply suited teams scheme better. Do not be fooled into thinking that where a player is picked, is where their talent level resides.

Which is why he included Mayock in the "but not all" section...

yea..i must i have read wrong

but most people had him rated very high..but as the draft got closer his stock fell i think because

1.prior bust from FSU

3.3-4 teams upon further review felt he would not make a good move to OLB

4.his height and weight

5.lots of 4-3 teams felt he was only good to play RE and as a pass rusher,no versatility

Good deal now lets see what he can do the field.

Outfreakingstanding.

13.5 sacks, you heard it here first.

[The Link]

I think this guy will end up being Mike Rucker 2.0, which is a good thing.

What can Brown do for you?©

I'm hoping for Julius Peppers 2.0, but that might be a little hopeful.

I hope he has a few more career sack than that.

Fwiw, it seems to take most defensive linemen a couple years to learn the ropes. I think this year will be a learning experience, and then we will see what he has next year.

damn thats cheap.

Not to sound like Gman, but i really dont like the brown pick. undersized DE's tend to not do that well, i prefer big guys at DE. For every freeney, there is a peppers, osi, allen, strahan, and more.

i hope im wrong

:rolleyes5:

Not trying to bash you or anything, but you have to be the most negative/pessimistic person I have ever met.
