About midway through the season and im curious how the huddle feels about our defacto number 1 pick. When the National media is latching more so onto our second round pick.  My stance hasn't changed. If your drafting to ten you want a guy who is a superior athlete who can be the quarterback, protect the quarterback or get after the quarterback(skilled position players are weighed differently).

Brown shows promise in the run game. It was his defining traits we knew he was country strong and would be good to go there. But I was solid on the promise he would develope a pass rush repertoire and would be an asset there. Naturally running a 5.0 40 made me question that, would have been enough to say the overall athletic profile isn't there to be a asset in this department. We have seen even on passing downs brown comes out and they like to sub in guys.

My question to you guys are you content with getting a space eater with a top 7 pick?

He's going to be a stud.  You've got to look at his production in context.  How often is Phil Snow only rushing three?  Why should we expect any NT, much less a rookie NT to be piling up tons of sacks and QB pressures when on passing downs, they're alone against two linemen?  To suggest he should be doing more in the pass rush on these downs is to have unrealistic expectations.  He's flashed in both the run and the pass game and he's going to anchor the middle of that defensive line for years to come.

      You honestly think Tampa would have traded down with a division rival so their rival could land a “generational player” at a massive position of need for TB?   bruh

      Ya'll better quit throwing shots at Zod. He'll come in here and ban everybody. I had a friend @prosource who was banned in 2015 because he said some very minor things about Zod being an ass to the posters on the main forum after starting the All-Pro one. He said he felt like another level is cool, but don't punch down on people that don't want All-Pro. (He did say that it wasn't going to last long anyways.🤔) I distinctly remember him calling and being like "dude, I got banned, my profile says I don't have access to the Huddle!") I feel like once Tepper came in and cut off all unofficial access to the team, Zod was going to be around less. The All-Pro board had really good photos, even in game stuff, and I remember seeing him behind a little fenced in area at Wofford for non team sanctioned press/photographers after Tepper bought the team. I knew then his ego wouldn't allow him to continue with past fervency and effort with that reduction in access. Dude was literally in the locker room when JR was owner.  I came over in 2011 immediately after finding out this place existed. I was super involved with the Charlotte forum, and fell off after its demise. I will never forget arguing Pep over Ryan Sims on that forum! Who is Ryan Sims some of you may ask? My answer is exactly!

      And not see him running free. Because has been free a lot more than he gets credit for.    Now what XL does with that when he does see the ball, is on him.
