We nabbed Ron Brace as "insurance" at 40. He's supposedly a one-dimensional player. There are persistent questions about conditioning. And two picks after the excellent Darius Butler pick, the Panthers took Brown at 43.

What about the greatest need for the defense this year, rushing the passer, and use all those high picks next year to package a deal for the possible 3-4 NT from Mt. Olympus, Mt. Cody?

Round 2 of the N.F.L. Draft

Everette Brown

He's got the height, weight, and certainly the speed Belichick is looking for. Pass rushing OLBs addressed

What am I missing? You go Buter at 40, Brown at 41. And booya! Speed, speed, and more speed at the edge--just what the doctor ordered.

Not some fat slob who likes to watch cartoons incessantly, eating himself into a "knock down the wall" visit from the local fire dept. I mean we got the adult version of this.

When Everette Brown is wrecking havoc in the NFL, remember this posting.

Obvious troll is boring and dull.

Friggin trolls.

Deus Irae

A defensive end from a school that currently has a bad reputation for its defensive ends was passed over by 42 teams before he was chosen.

It seems that the Patriots went in a different direction to that point in the draft, like almost every other team.

While I can respect your prediction that E.Brown will become a beast, I guess it probably just came down to the scouting dept. and coaches decision that Ron Brace was somehow a better pick for the team--simple as that.

Why? Because Bill Belichick said so, would be my guess.

Although, I still don't see what the little white, fat kid has to do with it? I take it you're comparing him to Ron Brace, which is pretty beat IMO.

Brown does NOT have the height, speed or agility that BB craves.....6' 2", 4.73, 7.55.....read 'em an' weep......NFL Events: Combine Player Profiles - Everette Brown

Other than that, great post.

a) Read your own link:
Not a liability in the run game but is not his strong point. May depend too heavily on the spin move to beat his man. Could struggle in pass coverage if converted to linebacker. Sometimes struggles with neutralizing blocks. May lack the size needed to be an every-down defensive end.
b) Go and learn what a 2gap defense is, and what is required of an OLB in our system
c) Come back and answer your own question that this guy does not fit our defense.

Going forward, if you want people to respond (particularly me) why don't you try to commuicate like an adult.
Random insults and acting like you are smarter than Bill Belichick about his decisions just makes you look like a tool.

His 40 is the same as ... Pierre Woods!

BelichickFan

Yeah, he measured in at just under 6'2", not the 6'4" listed in the original link. There were also questions about his ability to move to OLB, by draft day he'd moved way down on the 3-4 OLB boards.

Everett Brown's 3 Cone was 7.55.
Pierre Woods' 3 Cone was 6.87.

Everett Brown's Stuttle was 4.53
Pierre Woods' Shuttle was 4.19.

So . . . there you have it.

BradyFTW!

But that's impossible because Brown is quick and fast and a speed demon off the edge and Pierre Woods is a giant suckfest who can't play in the NFL, can't rush the passer, and can't even fall on a damn fumble because he took easy classes at Michigan like a jerk.
