Derrick Brown, massive top-10 bust

According to PFF :

DI DERRICK BROWN, CAROLINA PANTHERS

Week 2 overall grade: 33.0

Water is wet, the sky is blue and Derrick Brown will at least be a dominant run defender in the NFL — even if his pass-rush ceiling is an open question. These were the things we were sure of heading into the season, but through two games, Brown has confounded expectations and been a liability on an admittedly weak Panthers defense

This week, Brown graded a little better against the run — and by that I mean there were fewer negative grades overall — but any net gain was undone by a pair of poor penalties, one for a late hit and another for illegal use of hands

Brown’s lone threat of pass-rush pressure came on the play where he used illegal hands to the face to generate the leverage to create pressure, and he was otherwise blanked as a pass rusher despite 29 such snaps. Brown has had an ugly start to his NFL career, and his Week 2 performance was one of our rookie duds of the week

I'd really like to draft someone in the first round that actually can play NFL football without a 2-3 year development cycle. First round picks are not supposed to need THIS MUCH development.

I can understand teaching them more at the position, but he should be able to at least shed blocks and tackle a RB.

      Week 3 PFF Grades

      On NFL Power Rankings we have moved up from last place to the 21slot we jumped 8 points the Saints are in last place now   Rank 21 8     Carolina Panthers 1-2 Three of the Panthers’ seven victories with Bryce Young starting at quarterback have come against Atlanta. He’s 3-1 against the Falcons and 4-25 against the rest of the league, which is strange, but no one is going to sneeze at a 30-zip whooping after the uninspired 0-2 start. In the first 96 minutes of the season, the Panthers were outscored 53-13. Since then, it has been a 49-0 edge for Carolina. They certainly feel like a more confident operation right now, especially defensively. There are still some warts that could come out against stronger teams, but this suddenly doesn’t look close to the worst defense in the league. Chau Smith-Wade had a pick-six, Mike Jackson added a pick and Christian Rozeboom and A’Shawn Robinson were highly disruptive. This might not be the 1985 Bears, but the Panthers’ no-name defense has come alive.   NFL Power Rankings, Week 4: Lions and Chargers vault into top five, while Colts crack top 10

      The red flag with the black square centered is the international storm warning flag. A single flag indicates a storm warning, two flags stacked is a hurricane warning. In my opinion, the best logo the Canes ever had.

      I am not.  Texans haven't started very strong the last couple of years.  0-2 Ryans first year and 2-1 the second year albeit against some bad teams.   This year, the started off with three potential playoff teams.
