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.

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...

      Legette admits taking his catching for granted a little his rookie season

      By TD alt · Posted

      The bad thing is that Xavier Legette kind of ignored the Jugs machine his rookie season. The good thing is that he's committed to it now. Catching is important to an NFL receiver (sarcasm), but, perhaps just as important is a receiver's---any player's---mindset.  "This offseason, the young wideout has gotten back to something in terms of preparation (Jugs machine). 'Oh man, it’s always been something I’ve done, and I don’t know why, but I felt like I could take a little breath,' explained Legette (via Darin Gantt of Panthers.com). 'And when you’re playing in this game, you can never do that. It’s always a way to get better, and that’s one of the ways to help with catching. For sure, for sure. In my mind, I’m thinking about ways, things I can do. What can I do to have less drops this coming season in Year 2? 'The whole mindset has changed, man,' added Legette. 'Trying to do anything I got to. I’m sacrificing a lot of things that I used to do outside of the building to put my work inside the building.'" https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/xavier-legette-focused-on-reducing-drops-that-plagued-rookie-year-with-panthers-01k1692c0tz9 So, yeah, it wasn't good coming in taking some things for granted, but Legette is young. His mentality appears to have changed and he appears to be maturing and he's been putting in a lot of work by all accounts.  I know some of you are down on him, but I still have faith. Last season was a disjointed mess in its entirety, but there were still some flashes, particularly with route running. With Legette's seemingly better fit as the WR2, mindset and focus---doing his actual job catching the ball---he should be able to improve. Lastly, I'd like to add, props to Legette for being so open about the need to improve and change his mindset. Some guys wouldn't necessarily admit that publicly. If nothing else, he's honest and down-to-earth.

      It is worth noting the fanbase has long held a love hate relationship with PFF over the years. Now that we are employing some of their people and actively using their data in our roster building approach going forward this should serve as the end all be all to any debate. This is either going to end really well or really bad. It's the Panthers. So save your energy and give it some time.

      And to be honest, we weren't really talking about PFF grades either. I brought it into the conversation via a pic that's LLM-related (which apparently some Huddlers took issue with) as an aside for providing more specificity than just sheer numbers
