LOL...at the 1:50 mark...poor QB. 4:21 an incredible quick spin move although too late..Ruggs for the TD. 7:00 minute mark, play of the game...this was a great game live. 8:45 nice tackle for a loss...other than this play, Brown has been handled easily most game. Knocks down the game ending brutality of QB play of Mac Jones...yes this was a gem game. Najee Harris > Barkley...just sayin' 1:50 mark? Derrick Brown got pinned on the LOS by the RG...again! Same as 1:15. High pad level, no moves, stonewalled. He's so easy to block in the pass game. The guy finds himself glued to the Line of Scrimmage and can't get off. I wouldn't draft this guy in the 1st round. Suh comparisons? Laughable. This guy isn't in the same galaxy as Suh as a prospect. He's not even Dexter Lawrence. I would draft AJ Epenesa before I draft Derrick Brown, easily. Brown isn't a 1st round prospect in today's NFL.

Who is Right Guard #65 for Alabama?
Because he kicked Derrick Brown's butt all game long.
I want Alabama RG #65. That guy is a stud, not this overrated overhyped Derrick Brown guy.

Epenesa kicked that Left Tackle's butt all game long. Yeah, second quarter he began getting some pressures, nice hand technique...he IMHO, needs to put on some weight and go 3 tech...problem is, we have LW. I don't see us taking him, and I certainly don't see him being traded up for...we're in need of a OLB/Edge that has more athletic abilities and can drop some in coverage....

Brown The other Brown Deonte Brown So, you too will throw a remote if we draft Brown...our only debate will be how far it is thrown.

I think the only way we get a Center in this year's draft is if we get more picks - not less - so I would be against this. Not sure we need more picks to get a Center but we certainly need more picks to fill all of our holes. I'm making some assumptions that are probably unfounded- basically, it looks like value will meet need at center somewhere around the middle of 2 to the middle of three. Right in the whole we have because we don't have our original 3rd round pick. So, short of a trade down from 4 or 36th, I don't see us having a pick at the sweetspot we need.

Yep, we used that one for a rental on a free agent...brilliant GM move. It's a long way from the early 2 to the late 3...gonna see a lot of needs and starters slip by as we all wonder again, why did we have to squeeze?

My point was that we can take a Center at 36. Or we can take an OT at 36. We can take one of them or a WR in the 3rd. We can't fill LB, C, OT, WR and pass rusher with 3 picks though. I would love a trade back to Miami and gain an extra 2nd and 3rd round pick. We shall see how it all plays out, more picks is always better than less picks.

I wouldn't trade up for him but if he is there is there in 2nd I wouldn't hesitate to draft him. He looks like a guy that the Patriots or Ravens draft . Hard worker with non stop motor that gets to the QB with sound technique and leverage and uses his strength and length effectively . This. Prototypical Bill Belichick D-Lineman, this guy is it. Whoever drafts Epenesa is getting a damn good football player. Patriots at #23 seems logical. I'm hoping he falls Not a first round player

there is talk if we trade up its for a reciever... Possibly Jefferson.. (Looks for a WTF are you doing emoji) in a draft stacked till the middle of the 5tb round with dynamic playmakers that could end up being 80 catch for 1200 yard players why would we waste draft picks to do this ? i hope this draft is as deep at wr as you think it is. You think there is a bunch of guys all the way into the 5th round that are number 1 recievers?

I don't want to risk losing him at 36. This guy is too good. He's probably a Top 15 overall prospect on tape, but the athletic testing will drop him. He's so polished and disciplined, he sets a strong edge and wins in the pass-rush with power and hands, perfect scheme fit too. Best case scenario is he falls to 36 to the Giants. With all do respect that is a lousy idea. Dude goes MIA often and has no true position he looks like he could excel in. You have him too highly regarded

Look up Quez Watkins looks like a good player pretty comparable to darius slayton. Probably a good number 2 but i have no idea i just think chances of getting a number one receiver on day 3 of the draft is slim, which is what we need. We have a bunch of number 2 receivers. Not saying i wouldn’t take that guy in the 5th.

Not saying i wouldn’t take that guy in the 5th. My exact comparison is a more advanced version of Slayton (better route running and post catch,probably because So Miss actually has a modern passing attack unlike the basic one Auburn ran) You get 2 clones of that kind of player that cam have a 75 catch for 1200 yards and 10 TDs. With that speed teams will have to play a 2 deep look.. Improve the o line early... yeah I love our chances

Positionless, unathletic player ... no thank you. I'm not for or against this pick but if they run the same defense or similar to New England he will have a position actually full-time. They have a guy they call the crash end. I read this did not know this. Epenesa and one of the DEs at Auburn fit it perfectly. Now I don't know if Graham is gonna even have that positional need in his defense we shall see but he fits if they use NEs set up.

We shouldn't trade up for anyone. Period.
That said, and I can't honestly say I've watched much film, but everything I read about this kid is intriguing. Not flashy in any department, but completely productive and well-rounded. Seems like a player any defense could use.
My only "concern" with someone like Epenesa, which is similar to my "concern" with drafting players like Okudah or Brown, is we seem relatively set at the position. I'm not opposed to overloading on a strength, though. In fact, another player to keep an eye on would be Gross-Matos out of PSU. Seems to be a better athlete than Epenesa, but has all the tools you want and could be had in Rd2....maybe Rd3?

He's the pick at 36 unless:
1) Detroit takes him at 35
2) NE trades up to 33/34/35 to take him

Respectfully- you’re nuts. The dude totally disappears in games and looks to be very average too often.
There are several better alternatives at this point.

It appears there was no need to trade up.
