Panthers Select Derrick Brown Seventh Overall
5 years agoThe Carolina Panthers selected Auburn defensive tackle Derrick Brown with the seventh overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft on Thursday. The first defensive tackle off the board, Brown will certainly help a porous Panthers defensive line and defense that, in general, was horrible against the run and rushing the passer in 2019, even with now-retired linebacker Luke Kuechly as a sideline-to-sideline beast. Brown will give the Panthers consistent production on the defensive side of the ball and he plays with tremendous effort. Carolina should get good great interior pocket push from Brown, and they'll need it with Drew Brees, Matt Ryan and now Tom Brady inside the division.
