2. Derrick Brown, Auburn, 6-4, 318 (Top 15 overall)
Why He’s Here On The List: This is what a defensive tackle should be. Very big, always moving, and with the want-to to be a leader with a great football player mentality, he’s an instant leader to work the defensive around. The general managers will love him – he’ll be a Face of the Franchise type that everyone will want to take.
What The NFL Types Want To See: How flexible is he really? He can move for his size, and he’s got the power when needed, but is he smooth through the drills or will he labor a bit?
Bottom Line: Everyone will be looking for reasons to like him – his faults and flaw will be excused a bit with all else he brings. The only concern – he’s very good at everything, but is he dominant in any one phase? That’s looking for something to pick on. As long as he moves okay, he’ll be fine.
