I've just been doing an analysis of one of the great DE's taken at No11, Dwight Freeney with Everette Brown and Aaron Maybin.
If Freeney had come out in his junior year, his production would have been almost identical to Maybin. Freeney started 10 of 27 games, making 54 tackles (35 solo) and 16.5 sacks. Maybin started 10 of 26 games, making 61 tackles (38 solo) and 16 sacks.
Freeney came out having stated 22 of 39 games, making 104 tackles (68 solo) and making 34 sacks
Brown has started 25 of 41 games, making 100 tackles (70 solo) and finishing with 23 sacks. Remember these figures are 3 years for Brown but 4 years for Freeney.
So Brown has as much game experience as Freeney had. Not only that 8 of the 25 starts were at LE so he has the experience that could lead him to being paired with Schobel.
I'd take some of that at #11 too.
