No. 7 worst draft pick in Panthers history: Everette Brown
Welcome to the dark side of the NFL Draft, as we visit the 10 worst picks in Panthers history.
No. 7 worst pick: DE Everette Brown (2009)
Similar to their situation with Jeff Otah, the Panthers traded a first-round pick to San Francisco for its second and fourth-round picks. The Panthers then used that second-rounder, the No. 43 overall, on Brown.
The Florida State product entered the league as a potential heir apparent to a then-disgruntled Julius Peppers. However, it didn’t work out that way. Brown’s playing career in Charlotte lasted just two seasons, complete with three starts, six sacks and three forced fumbles in 28 games.
