Bon voyage missionary dwetler.

Jawaan Taylor OT

Devin White LB

Brian Burns DE/EDGE

Christian Wilkins 3T

That right there is it.  One of those 4.

Taylor- Would confirm Moton to LT, Taylor has never played LT either.  And was kept on the Right side by Florida's staff for a reason even when their LT wasnt good.

Devin White- either a smoke screen or Hurney really is a fanboy of LBs.  With going to a 3-4 you really only need 2 LBs vs 3 on the field.  Retaining Shaqs 5th year and drafting 2 last year.  Dont see it happening.  Oh, also Rivera's big pet Peeve with LBs has always been their ability in coverage.  While White is a good athlete, his coverage ability has been his biggest weakness.

Wilkins- would make sense with the 3-4. Versatile, played DE to start at Clemson.  Would immediately fill that hole as a 3-4 DE for the panthers.

Burns- not the first time someone on this board with a "source" has mentioned our staff likes Burns.  He is a glue fit for our Defense

Am I the only one that doesn't see Burns as a first round pick? Maybe late first/early second but at 16??

Pretty much

For a strictly 4-3 defense it may be tough to take him.

Ive seen a few writers say they like him more than Josh Allen.  Just overall versatility.  He may be the best edge rusher OLB as far as his drop back in coverage since Kalil Mack came out.  He has excellent bend.  The only concern people had on him was size, but he came in at 250 to the combine which is more than enough for a OLB.  So any other scheme besides a traditional 4-3. He is well worth the top 15 pick

I can respect that. But when he's matched up against top tackles he's been a ghost. He's certainly a specimen though.

He's mainly been a ghost this past year 

And that goes back to my first point.  That for a traditional 4-3 you may not like him that high.

 

This past season wasnt his best due to a scheme change.  He came to FSU recruited as a OLB in Jimbo's 3-4, and he looked like a monster in it.  This new staff moved to a strictly 4-3. So him in his 235 playing frame that he was still at from the year before struggled to fit the new scheme.  He kinda looked like Marquise Haynes did for the panthers this year and pushed around.

He is best off the edge as a OLB where he can use that versatility like Von Miller or Mack.  Either drop in coverage or fire off the edge.  

Actually speaking of Miller.  Burns first 2 seasons started off better(both playing 3-4 OLB) year 3 is when Miller blew up.  Burnsmoved to a new scheme that didnt fit him well and his stats didnt jump.

 

Years 1 and 2 for Miller at A&M

Fresh: 2.5 Sacks 4 TFL

Soph: 3.5 sacks 7.5 TFL

 

Burns

Freshman: 8.5 Sacks 9.5 TFL

Sophomore: 4.5 Sacks 13.5 TFL

 

Miller blew up his junior season while Burns switched to the new scheme that he wasnt recruited or fit for.

But

Von Miller 

Senior season: 10.5 sacks 17.5 TFL

Burns

This past season in new scheme: 10.5 sacks 15.5 TFL

 

They both played at 235 at the same position (minus Burns this past year). And both came into the combine at 250

Burns at his best is Nick Bosa potential however he could also be Zack Bosa. Boom or Bust all over him 

That's what concerns me. But there are very few sure thing picks so we need to roll the dice anyhow. Hurney has a good track record in the 1st so I'm optimistic.

2 completly different players

Bosa the more traditional 4-3 DE, hands in dirt bigger guy.

 

Burns stand up more athletic rusher/LB like Miller and Mack were coming out.

Mack, Miller and Burns all played at around 235 in college as edge Linebackers who bulked up to 250 at the combine 

 

Miller combine

6'3 250.   4.53 40.   37vert.    126 broad  6.7 3cone

 

Mack combine 

6'3 251.   4.65. 40.   40vert.   128 broad.   7.08 3cone

 

 

Burns combine 

6'5 249.   4.53 40.   36vert.    129 broad.  7.01 3cones

    • Fowler: Bucs 23, Panthers 16. Baker Mayfield only won a single game when he was an unimpressive Carolina starter, but somehow he’s 5-0 when playing AGAINST the Panthers. For the Panthers to pull off this upset, they’ll need to score at least in the mid-20s. With Tampa Bay relatively healthy following a mini-bye (and Mike Evans’ return is huge), it feels like this will be too tough a task. Kaye: Bucs 24, Panthers 20. The win-loss-win-loss streak comes to an end. It’s hard to trust the play-calling following the loss to the New Orleans Saints. The Panthers know what’s on the line, but they also knew last week, too. It’ll be close; I just have trouble trusting a positive outcome after a defeating one on the road. Zietlow: Panthers 38, Bucs 35. This prediction goes against conventional wisdom, but then again, conventional wisdom doesn’t seem to apply to these Panthers. This group, after all, has yet to lose back-to-back contests since Weeks 1 and 2. I think they win this one to make Week 18 interesting — and yes, that’s even with motivated Baker Mayfield and future Hall of Famer Mike Evans in good form. Why not?
    • Sam developed into a different player after he mostly sat for a year and learned a ton by being in that QB room under Shannahan in San Francisco.  Then he went to the Vikings who have a poo load of talent and another genius level offensive mind at HC in Kevin O Connel. I think they genuinely built up his confidence in a way he never did in New York or Charlotte.  He would not have been the same player if he stayed here IMO. Especially if he had been involved in that disaster season with Frank Reich in 2023, that might have cooked his confidence for good.  I guess you could argue we wouldn't have been that bad if we also kept cmc and dj i guess. 
    • Willis was impressive last night given the circumstances. GB and SF seem to just have it figured out as far as QB goes.   It's frustrating, but I enjoy seeing our old players find success elsewhere.
