Carolina Panthers Draft: Auburn DT Derrick Brown goes No. 7

The Carolina Panthers have boosted their defensive front by selecting Auburn standout Derrick Brown with the No. 7 pick.

The organization desperately needed reinforcements in the trenches and now possess a player with a Pro Bowl ceiling to put alongside Kawann Short and Brian Burns.

This news received a mixed reaction from Panthers’ fans. Mainly due to Clemson’s sensational linebacker Isaiah Simmons still being on the board.

Brown was a devastating presence for the Tigers throughout his college career. He also shone brightly during the evaluation process.

He is a do-it-all presence on the defensive line who is equally adept in running or passing downs.
