Closet thing go Aldon Smith since Aldon Smith

Not what I'm looking for..  Watch the video and give observations..

Brian Burns is a guy that would have been a top 10 pick in a normal draft, this draft is so beastly with studs up front that people treat Burns like he aint poo. 

[X-Clown on 1]

Only needed to watch two minutes to see the following:

1) Has a ridiculously quick first step

2) He sets and holds the edge well in the run game and is disciplined.  Most of our young DEs we've had before (Delaire, Hall, Ealy, etc) struggle keeping playing time because they are not disciplined and do not set the edge (it's not all about just getting after the passer).

3) He's been asked to drop into coverage

4) He takes plays off when he's tired (definitely coachable)

I watched the first 1:50

As I've been saying bad pad level and definitely bad hands. Doesn't deliver a consistent good punch nor does he maintain separation and work his leavers as he moves flat down the line of scrimmage. 

I'll break down more later.

I can't wait..lol

A few observations..

1. All the worry about his size.. BC didn't run to many plays his way.. He didn't get pushed back alot held his ground pretty well...They double teamed him 50% of the time.. They chipped him repeatedly with a RB or TE.. And paid for it when they left there OT on a island..

2. I like how he was able to move around.  Rush from either side.  Lined up in the middle and dropped in coverage (got beat a few times 1 on 1) .. He has alot of versatility..

I'm no scout but I'll tell you what I see; both the good and the bad.

• As mentioned above, his pad level is not great at all which can be hard on a taller lankier guy.
• Has to use his hands better when getting off blocks.
• Has to continue to build up his frame. There's times where he's being pushed around by bigger OT's
• If he's going to really be an OLB and not just a pass rushing DE then his coverage has to improve
• I think his effort isn't always there. Hard to tell from film.
• Definitely has a fast first step
• He is very disciplined when it comes to containment and forcing runs inside. That won't help him get on the stat sheet much but it is what you typically ask your ends to do.
• Needs more power to finish his tackles.
• Seems to get lost in the muck sometimes but being a step back from the LOS might help him.
• Frankly he isn't as disruptive as I'd like for a first round pick to be and he's going to be a project. Hope I'm wrong, and I do believe he'll develop with better coaching and size, but I don't see him pushing for ROTY.

Gets shoved around by bigger tackles

hands aren’t the greatest

looks to rely on pure athleticism at times

coverage skills are slightly above average

 

Hes going to be a project starting out. Ron said as much when asked if he would be starting day one...

“Brian will be part of the rotation”

Thats a 1st rounder folks.

A good rotational fit.  Everything a team wants in a first rounder.
