Labeled as the best interior defensive lineman coming out this year, Derrick Brown would be a great draft pick for the Colts at 13. Brown is projected to go in the top 10, so it’s a long shot the Colts get the chance to draft Brown, but with the emphasis at QB around the league, Brown could slip to 13 due to necessity at QB for some teams.

Brown is more of the traditional interior defensive lineman, won’t play a lot at the three-technique, but with his size, 6’5″ 318 pounds, he still can give you work in the pass rush department. Brown’s upright rush style means he might be more of a pressure rusher than a sack-man, but he should keep improving as a rusher with more dedication to the craft.
