Reminder that this is only his 2nd year

Also a reminder that Rhule didn’t want him as the pick…Hurney did. Rhule wanted Henderson or to make a move for Herbert.

You have a link or proof of this?  Would love to read it

I know. I’d rather have moved up for Herbert but Brown is still a second year player

Who is he?

Our 7th round pick last year. He looked great in preseason and we finally decided to play him today. Has a cool nickname, Big Snack, that you’ll hear fans call him as well.

Brown story is just sad....nother hole to fill now...

[BurnNChinn]

Nice job coach Rhule, if u didn’t want him u shouldn’t have drafted him. Dumbass coach!

Top 10 pick at DT your first offseason lol

Basically dont draft a one dimensional player top top and a meh athlete. Fat run stoppers can be had rounds 2-5. Phil has look decent for example. Roy has his moments as well... But Brown... this I run a 5.2 whatever he did and I'm mostly a run stuffer but not really...is looking as busty as  42 year old mom on the rebound. Very dissapointed.

And so many said Derrick Brown was the best player in that draft and thought we got a steal

Whether or not you think brown went too early in the first is kinda irrelevant. No one would say “I knew he wasn’t a first rounder.” He was pretty much the top DT on the board. 

The fact he’s playing like an UDFA is either an indictment of the entire evaluation process league wide, or he has just checked out to a degree not seen since Jeff otah.

Derrick Brown has been invisible on the field. He is looking like a bust.

The fact that he was billed as a strong run defender is the real rub. He has not been that at all. Very undisciplined in the run game.

Way too early to say bust but I am not seeing anything drastically different than the start of Vernon Butler's career.

Good CBs and DTs can be found player in the draft. It's a huge red flag when the staff doesn't understand positional value.

Meh, both should be good enough to play but I doubt they ever shake the 'look at who we could have had' discussions.

I'm just over this staff and their incompetence.
