Everette Brown: Diamond in the Rough

So most of us are already high on having picked up Brown. This is just another article that backs up what we think.

DE Everette Brown, Carolina (second round; 43rd overall): Some will argue that I'm not taking much of a gamble by having Brown, the first defensive end drafted in the second round, leading off my defense. Based on the fact that Brown was the sixth defensive end drafted from a supposedly weak year for pass rushers, however, the selection is justified. Say what you will about the upside of the pass rushers selected ahead of him -- Brown was the most consistently explosive and fundamentally sound sack artist from the 2008 class. Had he been 2 inches taller, he would have been a top-15 pick. Carolina got a steal in Brown at No. 43, and it won't take the former ACC star long to prove it.

I am REALLY excited to see him play.

Brown was one of the safest picks in the draft. I found it funny that as the spring wore on, he kept dropping down in mock drafts not because of anything he did, but rather the fact that his measurables (mainly height) were not ideal. Big mistake for the many other teams who passed on him.

      Bryce Young Is Terrible

      By d-dave · Posted

      Terrible?  No doubt he was Sunday.  Will he ever get gud?  No clue. Listening the Panther's Playbook (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3K8QW-k4du0) the guys made an excellent point:  there is no trust. Bryce isn't trusting his line, WRs or the system.  That's not good at all.  When Bryce has trust, we see what happened after the bye last year.  The biggest question is "where did the trust go?" That's something that Canales and Co. need to figure out ASAP.  Look, I think Bryce is a nice guy, and I'm glad he's generationally wealthy.  But I want my Panthers to succeed.  If he's the guy to do it, great.  If not, be the guy we need to help us get that top 5 pick.

      I'm surprised by the grades for Turk + Moehrig because during the game they seemed to always be in on a tackle before Turk left the game. Bryce's grade surprises me as well, but seeing some PBLK grades... Corbett - 27.7 Nijman - 38.4 Chuba - 27.1 Dowdle - 14.0 Thank goodness for the guards and TMo. TEs did okay in PBLK as well, but their RBLK grades were horrible (Tremble 34.5, JT0 56.4). TMo had a rough RBLK grade as well (48.8).

      Solid is stretching it.  Rozeboom frustrated the hell out of Rams fans.  Not as bad as Reeder, but close.  LB was a known issue going into this week and it showed in a huge way.  And Wallace was a high ceiling but super raw LB prospect.   Moehrig's slipups were surprising.   But yeah, Evero's playcalling and personnel deployment is super annoying.  He likes playing light in the box which is nonsense given who we brought into our front-7.
