Well Number 91 Everett Brown Showinfg why we took him first. I think he needs to get lower, but for all fairness. I think awesome draft pick, even got a sack and a smile out of MR. Peppers.

On the good side he played with energy and kept trying. But what I saw was why I don't oount on rookie DEs to start right away. He has a lot to learn and was largely handled by the second string tackles. He got his sack against fourth stringers. So far he is where I thought he would be. A long way from being a starter.

English teachers are face palming everywhere.

Also, I'm not sure about how he'll do yet. He's just so small. He's got strength, and I do love the fact that for the first time Peppers has a young player to mentor. I think that might make him happy. He has potential, he adds a step to his speed when he hits the corner and we have a vicious combo.

yeah he needs a step on the corner, but that is what they talked about when he was signed. they said that he needs to work on his stutter step. So nothing we didnt already know. Got to tell himself to keep going not to think about it.

I didn't like what I saw... To have all the hype about him in camp talking about how quickly he was picking things up and how great he was performing, I didn't see much of that tonight.

He used the spin or double spin move pretty much every play, and it only worked once late in the game on a scrub OT. When he was going up against there 2nd round OT Beatty, he was thoroughly getting handled from what I saw. Repeated spin moves, tried to bull rush and nothing worked. Didn't see the quick first step, perhaps because he wasn't using it...

He can't shed blocks very well. Once the OT got his hands on him, he was done. A lot of this was because he does not use his lack of height to his advantage and use any leverage. He appears to be coming in way too high. I just expected to see more out of him because of all the kool-aid being stirred up from camp. Disappointed overall.

    • If we were a solid winning organization most of us would have no problems with this selection. We would have had a capable starter in place to allow him to be eased into the rotation. If were told prior to the draft that he had been completely cleared health wise, we "probably" wouldn't have a ton of reservations about this selection. If we had picked this young man on Day 3 of the draft most of us would have no problems with this selection because we wouldn't have had to use draft capital to move up and get him. Unfortunately, none of the above were true 1)  We were a terrible team in 2024 and needed an immediate impact player. 2)  He was hurt near the the end of the 2023 season. We traded up to get him even though we knew he wasn't medically cleared to play in 2024. 3) When training camp started we were hearing stories that the knee wasn't ready. That alone should have raised some red flags. I personally would have red-shirted him in 2024 in order to have him ready for 2025. We had Chubba as our lead back and other guys to fill the #2 and #3 spots on the depth chart. There was no need to rush Brooks unto the field in 2024. Here's our draft history in the 2nd round between 2021 and 2024 2021 TMJ 2022 No draft choice. We picked Matt Corall in round 3 (#94) as our only Day 2 pick. 2023 Jonathan Mingo 2024 Jonathon Brooks. We have taken 4 skill players on Day 2 of the draft for the past 4 years who have contributed absolutely nothing to the offensive side of the football. 3 are no longer on the team. Two of them are no longer in the NFL. One  could possibly never start a game due to a knee injury. This type of poor drafting is why this team has been so bad for the entire decade. 
    • Even limited as he was I still don't think they have replaced his production, and not just the sack stats. The games Clowney missed it was very obvious what his value still was. Risky move but whatever. They only had 32 sacks last year and if that drops then it's going to get ugly. I see the improvement in run stopping but not in pass protect in any way.  
    • I have zero issues with this.
