Brown returned with a vengeance, setting a Hurricanes record for sacks by a defensive tackle (11).

“Over the second half of the season, you’d be hard pressed to find a better defensive tackle in the country,” Hurtt said. “If he had played that way all year, he would have been a top-15 pick.”

Sounds like Brown has alot of potential.....sounds like a hungry guy coming off the bench.

I like Brown a lot. Green is a good player in his role. Wright is a good backup. But I would like a more complete backup DE for rotations, injuries and four man lines. I was looking more at Carriker and Harrell (the latter of which went way earlier than I expected) but Brown is an interesting fallback plan.

When everyone's healthy I wouldn't mind seeing some (note, some, I'm not proposing a chnage of our base defense because of a 4th round pick) 4-3 with Brown, Seymour, Warren, Wilfork upfronnt Vrabel, Colvin, Thomas at LB.

He'll be a Jarvis Green-type backup at DT. Come in a few times and weak havoc as a sack master.

No doubt a great value at that spot. Makes you wonder why no one that needs a 4-3 tackle picked him up.

Doesn't seem to have a position in a 3-4.

NFL.com says "He plays too tall in his stance to be a nose guard, but shows enough lateral movement to make plays down the line".

And he's too slow to play end.

We already play "some" 4-3. Pretty much every game. No?

Look at his measurables. Brown is 6'4'' 290lbs. That really not the weight youd be looking for but if he puts on some more weight and plays well he can be a dominant piece.

we are due to hit something in round 4 tru 7 other since samuel its been slim pickings

Yeah, I'm just saying that I think he'll be a better 4th DL than Wright or Green. Maybe not this year, we'll see. And I'm not ripping on Green, he's more of a role playing pass rusher.

BTW, I hope Brown can play LDE, that was the double whammy in the loss to The Jest, with Warren our Seymour had to switch to the left side because Green is pretty much a right side only player.

I see Brown as a DE. 3-4 DEs are kind of like DTs anyway.

Brown Could become a dominating player. He could do what Green did for us in the playoffs against the Colts, but in a more consistent basis.
