The Panthers knew what they were getting when they drafted Derrick Brown. He’s not Aaron Donald, and he never will be. That’s not his DNA. Folks need to stop expecting double digit sacks—I doubt that’s ever going to be a regular thing for him.

He can continue to refine his pass rush technique. He will improve with more reps.

I’ve compared him to Kris Jenkins for months, in terms of measurables and technique. 

He made FOUR big-impact stops against the run Sunday. The variety of ways in which he got it done here is what always stood out on tape during the draft eval process.

But Issiah Simmons can replace Luke!

Word from Cardinals fans is he’s looked lost and they’re struggling to find a position for him. He’s getting a look at safety on Sunday for our game because of injuries they’ve had at the position. I hope we go after him early and often.

Love the breakdown Ellis. Thank you for sharing. Always love the quality content. Brown looks like the real deal, just not a pass rusher first and after last year I am more than happy with that and what he brings on game days.

      We keep referring to it as Over drafting him like he was really a first round draft pick. We traded up at the end of the first to get him in a deal with Buffalo so that we could grab him and get an extra year on his contract if needed. At the time that sounded like "If he really soars, we can get that fifth year extension automatically". It really probably meant, "We might need five years to really get him up to starting WR speed."  He was basically a second rounder with a potentially meaningless pick as well to pay for those rights. Still, I think that with him we are on the Kelvin Benjamin bubble right now... will he ever be more than just an athlete? Can he really learn to fight and compete for that ball? Can he learn professional routes? Can he handle the fame and more money than he's ever seen in his life? Can he handle all of the pressure a fanbase puts on him? Tough shoes to fill. Not sure I'd want to be in them. I hope he gets it all together soon. A lot, most draftees, can't. Good luck and God bless to the young man. He's got a lot of work to do in a very unforgiving workplace.

      This is the #1 reason I defend Bryce. Everyone around him is learning on the job, including him. But hey in 3 years we could have a talented offense that grew up together.

      Nope. No balling out but he could latch on as a backup elsewhere. I still think he would be the weak link on a ridiculously loaded team that would create problems in the Playoff and while facing other really good teams. His limitations are just to much at this level. I have zero fear of playing him in the future. It's a litmus test for the D, granted the D is pretty awful currently so none needed.
