Brian Burns

Great year for edge rushers. Burns is intriguing...the only knock was his size, but he took a lot of the air out of that concern today. 

Don't think we could go wrong if we go DE at 16. Still like Sweat and hoping somehow one of the big guys slated to go top-10 (Allen/Oliver) drops to us, but don't think Hurney can f*ck this up.

I can’t wait to see all the Edge guys compete at the combine.  That’s gonna be so fun to watch this year.

deja vu all over again...

We have had deju vu all over again several  times. 

In my opinion, we  need a 6-5 275 lb stud, not  a kid who adds weight for the  underwear olympics.

Damn.  My sleeper McCoy is a sleeper no more.

Sounds like Clellin Ferrell no matter what for you.

The more options at pass rusher the better.. Plain and simple we should totally be able to secure young talent for our biggest needs.. I'm happy about this..

I'm not thrilled about the prospects of Hurney drafting a relatively undersized edge defender... 

I assume this is a joke. You cant avoid a position because one time a selection didnt pan out at the spot.

That'd be awesome because give me Ferrell or Sweat all day everyday. I'm not necessarily opposed to Burns and/or Polite, but yeah, I'd much prefer Ferrell or Sweat. Those are my top two potentially realistic hopefuls and I haven't quite decided who I prefer over the other. Wilkins is my #3.

I’ve got the same “realistic” top 3. But Wilkins is on top of mine. Just can’t pass on him. And love everything about all three. I would probably be happy with any of them as high as 5th overall.

That wouldn't make much sense for an OLB

Burns looks like a helluva pass rusher. Not another Everette Brown in my opinion. I just can’t see him with his hand in the dirt. Even with all this weight he’s trying to pack on. I’m just having a problem with all this 3-4 talk. I like it but I t’s hard to find players that can fit both schemes.

We’re kind of in limbo because Rivera is trying to save his ass and whatever players we draft the next coach is going to have to bring a DC that can adapt to our players.

Btw, I feel like we have a realistic chance at Ferrell. I wouldn’t count him out.

Plz not Ferrell.... any of the top defensive ends but him..

[Sub Zero]

Before we compare him with Brown let's remember this kid is 4 inches taller (6'5 to 6'1) with way longer arms and way bigger hands..

This is not the same player physically..

Agreed... Just because players come from the same school and play the same position doesnt make them the same player.

all I know is that we cant afford to strike out again on DE in the draft.
