Is Everette Brown Officially a Bust?

So is Everette Brown officially a bust? I say not just yet I say the switch could still flip for what was our 2010 First Round pick which as you all know is what we traded to get him in the 2nd round of the 2009 draft. I say we have to give this guy one more year in a new scheme with a great defensive mind like Rivera I am curious to see what this guy can do. I just hope Rivera finds some way to get this guy to the QB! So whats the huddle's thought?

no he is not!

I doubt he is going to develop in to that "Dwight Freeney" type of player that the FO had hoped for, but he is still a developing player who will has contributed when given the chance.

6 sacks, 1 int, 4 FF in his career so far.

I think he could become one of the better pass rushers in the NFC this year if he can stay healthy and has the opportunity to develop with the team.

You want to know who is a bust?

see: Jamaal Anderson, DE, Falcons.

    • Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that. 
    • I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
