Feel like with him it's all about need. If somebody between 6-12 are hurting bad for a DT I could see him going there but I agree with the rest that he probably fits better between 12-20.

Not really. He plays like a big guy...which isn't necessarily good. He stands straight up and in the Pros...men with skill/technique will take advantage of him.
Had a whopping 2 sacks all year...in 14 games...on the #1 team during the regular season...meaning he had amazing talent all around him to help out.
Scouts have asked, why wasn't he more dominant if he's so big and fast? He simply just plays like a big body...stands straight up and uses his...well, I'm bigger than you...size to his advantage. Good luck with that in the NFL.
Of all the defensive tackles selected in the first round since 1990, only eight of them have made Pro Bowl appearances.
Easy position to get wrong in evaluating...but teams gamble...someone will gamble on his physical appearance. He smells like a bust to me because we've seen this before.

Brockers only has 3 years of legit weight room experience.
Isn't he only 21 years old as well? I think he gets lots of potential points from a draft standpoint. No shame being picked in the 10-20 range...

Brockers was pretty dominant on tape all year long.
ESPN put out an article a couple weeks ago about "guys whose combine numbers you should ignore" and Brockers was number 1 (IIRC).
In fact, he's the exact opposite of Poe from Memphis. Not great in a workout setting, but dominant on the field.
He'll be a good player in the NFL. Is he worthy of the top 10, I don't know. I see him more 12-20ish. But I think it's really hard to justify taking many DTs in the top 10, especially since the position is now such a heavy rotation for most everyone.

He collapsed the pocket on the reg. Disrupting the middle of the line is just as important than collecting sacks. Ask any QB.

I just counted 19. Get your facts straight otherwise no one will take anything you say seriously.

Are you sure?
1st round?
19 Pro Bowlers since 1990 drafted in the 1st round at specifically the DT position...not talking enitre line bro.
Well if you counted, it's a shame you can't trust articles on the internet anymore...I didn't count myself but got that fact from Draft101 or Draft.bible...
Anyway...not stellar success.

Well those are players from 2000.
in you quote you said only 8 since 1990. I thought that sounded funny
