Everette Brown, Florida State

everettebrown_Wisconsin_v_Florida_State.jpg

Height: 6-2. Weight: 256.

Projected 40 Time: 4.60.

Combine 40 Time: 4.73.

Pro Day 40 Time: DNP.

Benchx225: 26. Vertical: 31.5.

Projected Round (2009): Top 25 Pick.

1/9/09: The top 3-4 end in this class, Everette Brown notched 21.5 TFL, 13.5 sacks and four forced fumbles in 2008.

1/8/09: Pretty much a no-brainer for Everette Brown to declare early. He just had a big year and he already graduated.

11/16/08: Everette Brown's production has been amazing this season. In nine games, he has 15 TFL and nine sacks, which could prompt him to declare early.

O.K. listen for those freaking out (I DID AT FIRST TOO! I was like now I'll be waiting all over again NEXT YEAR!!!). I did some research and Mel Kiper projected him to go as early as #11 or #30...the Observer had him ranked #21 out of their top 100.

I thought we traded our second also but we still have that too!...so in essence we traded

A 1st rounder next year (which will hopefully be late)

for a potential #11 pick

and a fourth rounder this year...

plus we still have our second

Not to mention the kid's from North Carolina!!! Went to high school in Wilson...I really really like the pick (now well see about trading the #1)

I really think Meeks will do a fabulous job w/ developing Brown....Lots of "experts" say he's another Dwight Freeney, who was a Ron Meeks project...

Very Exciting...HE is the ONE person I wanted, and I just can't believe we landed him....

Based on value, the trade was even. A high 2nd and 4th for a generic 1st next year could be seen as the Panthers getting the better end of that deal.

As for the player selected, I wasn't a fan of Brown because I'm not a fan of the smaller DE BUT Meeks likes the smaller DE's. Johnson and Brown could become the next Freeny and Mathis. Considering his talent level, this pick was a steal at 43rd pick.

Horrible move by the Panthers front office. This guy is undersized and and he is not Dwight Freeney so everyone just shut their mouths. Unless he starts next season, he is not worth a first round pick.

Funny you say that.

1) When will you start working as a scout?

and

2) Did you notice most every draft group compares him to freeny?

I think this is a great move. He was projected 1st round and when he slid that far we were able to get him. If all goes well we gave the 32nd pick for a 2nd and fourth.

Doesnt need to start immediatley(unless something happens with peppers) can bulk up a little a be a force.

    • What you are saying isn't always true and I'll give you several examples to demonstrate this. 1) The best player on the board at the end of in round 1 by all consensus is RB (top 15 player in draft who slips b/c of the devaluation of the RB position). Your team is in desperate need of a LT because the current one is getting your QB killed. You already have a serviceable RB in place. The LT has a 2nd round grade and you have the first pick on day 2 of the draft Who do you choose? 2) Your run defense was abysmal the previous season. A DT in round 2 does not provide much in terms of pass rush, but most reports have him rated as the best pure run stuffing DT in the draft. The two highest rated players on your board at the time are a TE and tweener at OLB/DE who slipped into round 2 after a run on WR's. Who do you choose? 3) Your pass rush rush is solid across the board. You even have guy coming off of the bench to provide production. Your secondary in below average. No Safety on the roster is a difference maker and as a unit the squad doesn't have an INT. The highest rated player on the board is a DE. The 5th highest rated player on the board is a an intelligent ball hawking Safety. Which player would make the team immediately better?  1) I think the BPA logic applies when your team is solid across the board and you can afford to draft for depth 2) I think it also applies when your team stinks and any solid player will be an immediate upgrade over what you already have. I agree that you should NEVER reach for a player when you are need at a position like we did for Bryce Young. But I also think if there's is a player on the board that will fill a glaring weakness you need to take him even if a player with a higher over all ranking is available at another position (which isn't a need)  
    • Bryce Young excels at dividing Panthers fans. That seems to be what he's best at.
    • 184 yards game, 61% completion 11 tds 5ints    thats ranks :check notes:  25th in the nfl
