The Cardinals wanted a pass rusher to back up the veteran outside linebackers they have and Cody Brown should be able to help them with that.  Brown is on the small side as a DE at 6′2″, 242 but he’s fast enough (4.69 40) to convert to outside linebacker.  Brown played in 42 games (32 starts) in 4 years at U Conn and he made 150 tackles, had 45.5 tackles for a loss, 24 sacks, batted down 13 passes, forced 6 fumbles and he recovered 2 fumbles.  This was a good pick for the Cardinals as Brown has a decent upside for the future.
