The best teams in the NFL win the draft by matching value with need across all seven rounds, and scoring top talent much later than they should have come off the board.

Here are our picks for the biggest steal for each of the 32 teams from the 2021 NFL draft:

Carolina Panthers--Guard Deonte Brown 193th Overall

Panthers selected G Deonte Brown with the No. 187 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.

Brown (6'3/344) was a 24-game starter in Tuscaloosa that left college with two national championship rings. He’s a force in the run game, combining Herculean raw power and light feet in one enormous package. Brown gave Auburn DT Derrick Brown, a top-10 NFL Draft pick, fits in 2019. But length and movement limitations -- Brown turned in a rough 1.49 RAS score at his pro day workout -- leave him exposed in pass protection against longer, springier interior players. Brown makes for a fearsome road-clearing run-blocker in a gap/power scheme if Carolina can handle the pass pro limitations. The Panthers offensive line was PFF's 19th rated run blocking unit in 2020.

My vote goes to the nickname "Debo"

RIP to the real Debo (Thomas Lister), but I am hoping Brown gives us a lot of the following type moments making those holes for CMC!

He's had a nickname since he got to Alabama. You can't just change it. 

Nicknames can change, Karen! Gah!

From 2018...

"Whenever Deonte Brown calls or texts Bradley Bozeman, it pops up with his nickname, the one the redshirt sophomore offensive lineman has had since arriving at Alabama — “Cornbread.”

It may be time for a new nickname, though.

From the time I got his number, he’s been saved in my phone as that, as Cornbread,” said Bozeman, who is now with the Baltimore Ravens. “But, I mean, he’s more closer to a flatbread now.”

Two years ago, the 6-foot-4 Brown arrived in Tuscaloosa weighing 400 pounds. Two years later, the Decatur native is down 70 pounds and may be the Crimson Tide’s long-term answer at left guard, a position that had been a consistent problem area for the Tide through the first half of the regular season."

He was Cornbread at 400lbs and Flatbread at 330lbs.

We drafted him at 345lbs, so I nominate Focaccia!

    • I fully expect them to pick up his 5th year , and they're waiting for him to put a full excellent consistent season of QB play in year 4 or 5. If that don't happen,  they'll eventually cut ties.  Here's to hoping he just goes on a team in 2026. The worst thing he could do is continue to see-saw us to around .500 records because it might be impossible to replace him at that point unless youre willing to do the veteran qb carousel poo we did from 2019 to 2023.   
    • What do you think of Bryce Youngs career thus far? Are you excited about his progress or is it not enough for you? I included a poll of ranking his performance through 3 years thus far.  I personally think he's made some decent progress. Has had some high moments (last half of 2024, Rams game, ATL game in 2025)  but in my mind, those are still outweighed by the many more lowlights thus far (ex turnovers, missed throws, poor decisions)  It's a very mixed bag for me. He's done enough to get a 5th year option but by no means should we lock him in with a 50+ mil a year multi year deal. I want to see him play consistently well for a full year before that happens (yes, I'm still saying that going into year 4. That might be telling).  Just sucks when you see CJ Stroud, Jayden Daniel's, Caleb Williams almost immediately lighting poo up with their arm talent. Maybe Bryce is just an ultra slow burn. I don't know what to think anymore. Guess we're gonna be stuck with him for a whilr unless we end up being bad enough to earn a high pick next year. I doubted it lol. Overall Stats for his career:       ● 14 W - 30L (regular season)       ● 0-1 playoffs record        ● 61.4% completion, 8291 passing yards, 49 TDs, 30 INTs  Year 1:       ● 2 wins, 14 losses      ● 60% completion rate, 2877 passing yards, 11 TD to 10 INTs, 5.5 yards per attempted pass Year 2:        ● 4 wins , 8 losses        ● 60.9% completion rate,  2403 passing yards, 15 TD, 9 INTs,  6.3 yards per attempted pass  Year 3:        ● 8 Wins, 8 Losses         ● 63.6% competition rate, 3011 passing yards, 23 TDs to 11 INTs  Playoffs         ● 1 game in year 3 ( 0 - 1 in playoffs)         ● 21/40 (52.5% completion rate), 264 passing yards, 1 TD, 1 INT.
