Derrick Brown Fantasy

The Carolina Panthers agreed to a four-year fully guaranteed deal for $23.621 million with rookie defensive tackle Derrick Brown on Friday, according to agent Drew Rosenhaus. Brown, who was the seventh overall pick in the draft, becomes the first player taken in the first round in 2020 to agreed to terms. Carolina started with Brown and took all defensive players in the draft for the first time in history. The defensive tackle from Auburn will immediately step in as a starter in Week 1 and will help a Panthers run defense that was one of the worst in football in 2019.

The Carolina Panthers selected Auburn defensive tackle Derrick Brown with the seventh overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft on Thursday. The first defensive tackle off the board, Brown will certainly help a porous Panthers defensive line and defense that, in general, was horrible against the run and rushing the passer in 2019, even with now-retired linebacker Luke Kuechly as a sideline-to-sideline beast. Brown will give the Panthers consistent production on the defensive side of the ball and he plays with tremendous effort. Carolina should get good great interior pocket push from Brown, and they'll need it with Drew Brees, Matt Ryan and now Tom Brady inside the division.

The Detroit Lions coaching staff has recently taken a liking to Auburn defensive tackle Derrick Brown, according to sources. There could be a couple of players that the Lions like with pick No. 3 in the first round, but they'd love to get them at No. 5 or No. 6 after a trade down. If they don't move back a few spots, Ohio State cornerback Jeff Okudah could be the pick, as he fills a big need after the Lions traded Darius Slay this offseason. It's unknown if any team is desperate enough for a quarterback -- Tua Tagovailoa or Justin Herbert -- to move all the way up as far as No. 3 to take one of them.
