Pats draft Kareem Brown at 127

The Patriots have selected another Miami defensive player, taking Hurricane defensive tackle Kareem Brown with their remaining fourth-round pick, 127 overall.

Brown is a 6-foot-4, 290 pound Miami native, and was the Hurricanes' defensive lineman of the year last fall. Part of the defensive tackle rotation his first three seasons, Brown started nine of 13 games last year at both left and right tackle.

His 20 1/2 career sacks are second-best in Miami history for a tackle.

Scouts say Brown is an unfinished product, and he was hurt by a disappointing performance his Miami's pro day. He is good at pushing the pocket and can take on multiple blockers, but he needs to develop better moves as a pass rusher.
