The Carolina Panthers invested a lot in No. 7 overall pick Derrick Brown. The former Auburn sensation is expected to become the anchor of their defensive front for the next decade. And there is little to suggest he is not more than ready to take on the challenge.
Brown didn’t exactly fill up the stat sheet in college. But that is only a fraction of his overall influence on the field. The Carolina Panthers had a real dilemma when Clemson linebacker Isaiah Simmons fell into their laps. However, they stuck to their original plan after the prospect wowed the decision-makers during the evaluation process.
