Brown a Surprise Pick, Slotted Much Earlier in the 1st Round
With a surprise pick the Patriots got a big defensive tackle in the 1st Round of the 2015 NFL Draft as many surmised but it was not the one that people thought. Malcom Brown from Texas was slotted as going much earlier and it was thought he’d be long gone by the 32nd pick. But he is the Patriots newest member and a fantastic pickup for the New England defense.
Brown is a big man at 6’4, 320, and had a very productive season in 2014 with 72 tackles, 15 tackles for loss, 6.
