DTs who do not generate double digit sacks do not make the Hall of Fame (Brown's ceiling?)

Exactly!

DTs are still critical cogs but WuT bOuT MvPz crowd kills me man lol

Chris Jones just make the KC defense so much better when he was in during the playoffs and winning the SB.

Fletcher Cox was a beast.

Brown is going to be great here and those that hated the pick will be like, "I wUz On TeH wAgOn B4 u"! (•_•) (-_-) (•_•)

 

I can't wait to scroll back through the threads and read the dolts who were calling him garbage.

It is rare any defender gets MVP, much less a DL.

I know that.  I just don't see Brown being that awesome.  I rather have someone that would have taken Bradberry's place and he was on the board.  We could have gotten two run stuffers or two pass rushing DT's later or a combination of both.  They taken Brown so nothing to be done about it.  Live with it and move on.

Who cares about the HoF or the probowl. One is a carreer accomplishment and the other is the billion dollar equivalent of a high-school election.

We got a guy that looks like the kind of NT we can build a championship D around and behind. If that's not sexy, are you sure your watching the right sport?

Hall of Famers are so rare you don't draft a guy to be a hall of famer..........this thread is absurd.

Not going to read the entire thread, so excuse me if this has been said:

Brown was double teamed all the time. And you talk about sacks.  Unrealistic.  Any team member that requires a double team will have deflated numbers, but he literally makes everyone else better.  Aside from that, clogging a running lane so the LB makes a tackle does not appear on the stat sheet.

Some of you are calling him the NT, with KK at the 3T.  If so, then why do we have Kerr and Roy (NTs)?  We are going to move Brown around.  Remember Rhule's love for Obada?  That is because he can move inside and stand his ground.  If you have an end (Weatherly, YGM, Obada) that can pressure from the inside---and an athletic DT---you can stunt and get the DTs off your star player.

This feels reactionary, a result of some trauma from what we watched last year.  Drafting for need when you're so many years from contending is a really impulsive decision to make.

We'll have many years to assemble our team, and you don't have to spend #7 draft capital to fill this need.

I know the analytics community is down on Brown, but a lot of intelligent analysts think he's going to be great. I like the Brown pick a lot more after seeing them get Gross-Matos and then trading up for Simms. Having someone who can eat up multiple blockers is only going to help Burns, YGM and the linebackers.

We will see what Brown becomes as a pass rusher but sack numbers aren't everything. I care more about interior disruption and pressures.
