DE Everette Brown, Carolina (second round; 43rd overall): Some will argue that I'm not taking much of a gamble by having Brown, the first defensive end drafted in the second round, leading off my defense. Based on the fact that Brown was the sixth defensive end drafted from a supposedly weak year for pass rushers, however, the selection is justified. Say what you will about the upside of the pass rushers selected ahead of him -- Brown was the most consistently explosive and fundamentally sound sack artist from the 2008 class. Had he been 2 inches taller, he would have been a top-15 pick. Carolina got a steal in Brown at No. 43, and it won't take the former ACC star long to prove it.

Nice find Will

Lets hope his prediction for Brown comes true. We need another star on the DL

If Brown starts, which side will he play?

Now that Peppers is signed, does it make more sense to move Peppers back to LDE, facing the strong-side of the offense, and have Brown play the weak-side RDE position?

Peppers has better size, and played the position before, to handle the left end.

And would that make Peppers upset that Carolina isn’t using him to the max?
