Derrick Brown.. Its something about that Bama program where players come out not ready for the pro's or beat up their 1st few years in the league.   

The game is a lot easier when you are on a team with a two deep filled with 4 and 5 star talent. Alabama wins most games by being way more talented than the team in front of them. That rarely happens in the NFL.

Yeah, I think it's that. Football is tougher when you're not better than your team isn't more talented than your opponent at nearly every position.

The margins in college football are usually huge. The margins in the NFL are often minuscule.

This is foolish.. quinnen Williams was much more gifted than brown which is why he went much higher. Brown isn't the same caliber athlete as Williams. Brown might be better as a run stuffer.. but its not that big of a gap in their ability to get to the passer.. williams dwarfs brown in that area.. Give me Williams.

Williams was a 1 year starter..

Comparing relative draft position in two different drafts is foolish.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/nfl-evaluators-share-thoughts-on-auburn-draft-prospects/ar-BB128r4d

While he probably won’t go as early in the draft, multiple NFL scouts told AL.com that they think Brown is an even better player than Quinnen Williams was coming out of Alabama last year.

Williams was the No. 3 overall pick in last year’s draft.

“If you want to make comparisons, most people think he’s better than Quinnen because he’s a bigger, more powerful man,” one NFL evaluator said. “And he’s got another year of seasoning under his belt coming into the NFL versus Quinnen who was very young. So I think people believe he’s a little bit more of a sure bet than Quinnen was last year. There aren’t a lot of flaws with him.”

I seen the two compared and it made my brain heat up some. Cause Im not a brown at #7 supporter...... BUT I think he is better than Q.Williams, whom went 3rd overall. I know its a different draft and all, but I thought others would get in discussion on this. Williams did test better, nearly everyone thats been tested has.  It had me like larry david

Everyone talks about how well Quinnen Williams tested, but he basically just ran a fast 40 for a DT. 4.82 is FAST for a DT. But his vertical was only 3.5" higher than Brown's. His broad jump was only 4" longer. Those were the only three drills he did. Meanwhile, Brown is 2" taller and over 20 pounds heavier.

This debate is getting stupid.. 

Ppl just don't want a DT so they make poo up to discredit Brown...

      You're correct (on its face). But PFF does indeed use advanced stats to come up with their grades. Not trying to turn this into a debate about PFF (at all because it's been done ad nauseum), but here is how PFF explains it:   GRADES VS. STATS We aren’t grading players based on the yardage they rack up or the stats they collect. Statistics can be indicative of performance but don’t tell the whole story and can often lie badly. Quarterbacks can throw the ball straight to defenders but if the ball is dropped, you won't see it on the stat sheet. Conversely, they can dump the ball off on a sequence of screen passes and end up with a gaudy looking stat line if those skill position players do enough work after the catch. PFF grades the play, not its result, so the quarterback that throws the ball to defenders will be downgraded whether the defender catches the ball to notch the interception on the stat sheet or not. No amount of broken tackles and yards after the catch from a bubble screen will earn a quarterback a better grade, even though his passing stats may be getting padded. The same is true for most positions. Statistics can be misleading. A tackle whose quarterback gets the ball out of his hands quicker than anybody else may not give up many sacks, but he can still be beaten often and earn a poor grade. Receivers that are targeted relentlessly could post big-time numbers but may offer little more than the product of a volume-based aerial attack. https://www.pff.com/grades So PFF uses stats to come up with player grades and rankings.

      Not even what that's about. Moreover, remember that search engines are a tool.
