Raiders Scouting Report: Auburn DT Derrick Brown

Raiders Scouting report series continues looking at star defensive tackle Derrick Brown out of Auburn.

Fit with the Raiders

Brown will be a great fit with the Raiders organization because of his motor and technique has him ready to play on running downs early. He can complement pass-rushing defensive tackle Maurice Hurst while he learns to develop his pass rush skills, but create an impact on day one.

If Brown falls to No. 12, I just don’t see Mayock passing on such a safe pick just because of athleticism concerns. Clelin Ferrell came into the draft with the same issues of people questioning his athletic ability, and the Raiders still decided to take him very early at four. I expect the same with Brown if he falls, and the Raiders will attempt to develop his pass-rush ability.
