Malcom Brown (Athlon Consensus #10)

The Analysis

PROS: Two things scouts love to see from interior defensive line prospects is leverage and get-off. Brown shows the ability to get underneath blockers on a consistent basis with power and proper leverage. His get-off can be inconsistent but he has the tools needed to consistently blow-up the middle of an offensive line. He is not an overly big prospect, but he has enough thickness to add some weight and play around three bills. He gets up the field quickly and will be disruptive against both the pass and run. Shows a solid motor who will work along the line.

CONS: His overall lack of size and strength is the only real issue with Brown - and it is really not a big one. He should be able to add power and bulk with relative ease. He will also need to refine his pass rushing skills by adding specific maneuvers and refined techniques.
