Could Everette Brown slide all the way into the fourth round? Some NFL teams have him there, still, others have him as a first rounder. Brown looked stiff at the Florida State pro day and has earned the label of being one-dimensional. Regardless, he is still our number one ranked defensive end and will find a home in the league.
