Jawaan Taylor OT

Devin White LB

Brian Burns DE/EDGE

Christian Wilkins 3T

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

    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying 
    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
