[4Corners]

Love the pick. Looks like a great kid with a good head on his shoulders and not to mention he is a stud at a position of need here. Love the pick!!!!

Dumb pick. Name me on team since Tampa that won a SB because of a DT

Name a team since the Ravens that won a Superbowl because of a non-passrushing LB.

It’s terrible because it’s boring and Simmons would’ve been a fun pick because he’s fun. I’m as pissed as the rest but he may be decent. We’re stuck with it so let’s just deal with it.

Was it fun watching Luke take on offensive linemen and make chase down tackles 10+ yards down the field all last year? Because best case scenario, that's what Simmons would've been doing this year. We needed the BEEF.

I wanted Simmons more but I am very happy with Brown. High character, a powerful DT along side KK might make a solid interior. It was the smart pick and a very good one. 

[Move the Panthers to Raleigh]

I’m fine with this

They didn't triple team him when LSU played Georgia....and I didn't see hoim do a damn thing in that game.  Maybe he just didn't like playing against Georgia

 

Probably bc he wasn't there lol

Carolina Panthers pass on Simmons and select Brown. Wow. 

I don't like it, but what do I know. 

Best pick for what we needed, stop the run collapse the pocket. Much better athlete then the combine suggests.

Same.  He's just a monster.  You look at him and then the rest of the DTs like Blacklock, Elliott, Madibuike, etc. and there's just no comparison.  Kinlaw was close on his "on" games but this is a phenomenal choice.  We've got our new defensive captain, centerpiece of the line, and some who can actually COLLAPSE A POCKET! Yeaaaah

Plus Kinlaw reportedly has arthritic knees.

[top dawg]

Short and Brown and Spidey and maybe Miller on the ends! 

Let's get that CB and S!

Remember 

A Ton of people had this dude 3rd overall prospect in this draft.  Before his "slow combine"
