Here are my evaluations of two of the top interior DL in this draft class - Derrick Brown and Javon Kinlaw. Here's a question to ponder: Must an interior DL be a quality pass rusher to have premium value in both the draft and the NFL? pic.twitter.com/ngFmOaPhJY

Didn't realize how Derrick Brown dominated the Iron Bowl against one of the best OL's in the country

That is a 325 lb. leap for a sack from Derrick Brown after pushing the OT back - awesome effort (and allowed in CFB!) pic.twitter.com/VrRjBBIitg

DL Derrick Brown (@DerrickBrownAU5) @AuburnFootball
Not many weaknesses to his game. Burst off ball & to ball carrier is God-given. Unreal effort & motor. Best IDL in #2020NFLDraft. #BrawlNetwork pic.twitter.com/GQdlsiHAjz

Brown uses a long arm to put the RG into space before using a chop spin to disengage, recover the fumble then get taken out by the turf monster. pic.twitter.com/XWtxEYyZVe

Nice pad level and get-off from Brown here, which allows him to create knockback on contact. Gets his eyes to the ball carrier, separates and makes the tackle. pic.twitter.com/iHFYPE5cti

Most bench reps at the Combine by players with 34"+ arms:
— Mike Renner (@PFF_Mike) March 4, 2020
34 G John Simpson (Clemson)
28 DT Derrick Brown (Auburn)
27 Edge Julian Okwara (ND)👀
27 OT Austin Jackson (USC)
27 OT Terence Steele (Texas Tech)
Not great athletes, won't work to the edges of IOL quickly or with a sudden plan of attack. Push the pocket down the middle, get stuck on a lot of rushes. Still finds ways to impact behind LOS with power and hands rather than burst and flexibility. Good players, not elite tier

Another good read on Derrick Brown, but this time by @PFF_Eric. I agree with all of this https://t.co/YSAEurFBn4 pic.twitter.com/YFT44n7wAw

James Lynch is a DT prospect in the 2020 draft class out of Baylor.
— Kent Lee Platte (@MathBomb) March 1, 2020
He posted a great #RAS with okay size, good speed, good explosiveness, elite agility at the DT position.https://t.co/uHJw5RYn7H pic.twitter.com/XmUHKEnbat
It seemed like every WR we asked yesterday said #OhioState CB Jeff Okudah was their toughest matchup.
— Trevor Sikkema (@TampaBayTre) February 26, 2020
Today, for the OL, that name is #Auburn DL Derrick Brown. Andrew Thomas, Isaiah Wilson and Lloyd Cushenberry all named Brown as the best D-Lineman they faced in college.

There aren’t enough people talking about Brown as arguably the best player in the draft. It’s uncommon to see a big man with his combination of size, strength and explosiveness. Not to mention, he’s a 100% effort guy. He’s special. I mean gold jacket special. #NFLCombine https://t.co/1gKakhz7NV

Derrick Brown's feet are so good. Really good reactive agility compared to the typical OL. Kinlaw has way more juice overall, but Brown's lateral step frequency is great.

Derrick Brown thread starts now

I don’t think he tallied a sack vs LSU, yet he absolutely dominated the LSU offensive line and the game. Here he gets Burrow out of the pocket (something you will see a lot) and in the range of the rushing EDGE.#WNSFilm #SEC pic.twitter.com/mhtO9DFSIK
Sure, it's possible. Brown/Kinlaw are the top-tier for iDL and then Blacklock and Gallimore (and 1-2 others) are on the next tier IMO.
— Dane Brugler (@dpbrugler) January 22, 2020
Gallimore quicker, but Blacklock able to unlock more power at the POA and in his reset. https://t.co/sU6KzS62gs
The LSU game gave you an idea of the strength levels of Derrick Brown. They struggled to contain him. pic.twitter.com/t0I5mGCGPC

Teams that are looking for a key cog in the middle of their defense should have very high interest in Auburn DT Derrick Brown
— Jordan Reid (@JReidNFL) January 2, 2020
He could have a Fletcher Cox-like impact on the defense of the team that drafts him
