Does appear to be another 1st round hit for Hurney...

Hope his checkered history with 2nd rounders doesn't extend to Little, especially since we traded up for him.

I think Hurney has had a banner offseason, and resigning Darryl William's at a bargain certainly mitigates it, but it does appear as of now Greg Little is going to need a red shirt rookie season.

In no way do I think he cant be a good LT, but it is mildly disappointing that his performance so far hasn't been great as high as they were on him.

But pulling it back to Burns, I do think he has a legitimate chance to win DROY

Dude is going to be a absolute steal of this draft

Steal in the first round ehh I don’t think they equate, but there were two edge rushers taken before him he’d have to outshine both is that how you feel he’ll stack up in year one vs Bosa/The Kentucky kid?

At the time I really wanted Sweat because of that 40 time. But the time went I was thinking... he just doesn’t move like burns does. I think sweats a prototype 43 end and doesn’t really fit a 34. So I’m pretty ecstatic about burns. Kids bend and length is amazing.

Agreed.  I went through the same process.  I think Burns has the best chance to become the next Miller, Mack.  It will take some time but his upside is really high.  

I may have to keep this avatar for a loooong time.  Lol.

Hopefully ya do! And I really think he does too. It’s perfect that we switched schemes and he happens to be the perfect (albeit young) fit for us.

Skins fans are as excited about Sweat as we are about Burns. He's been putting on a show and his athleticism jumps out. I think either would have been great picks for Carolina.

I mean Fornette was hot on everyone’s radar coming into that draft but CMC has clearly proved he was the better selection thus far. Hype and selection number doesn’t always equate to success.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion in Here)

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Totally.  They had a guy starred on their boards that made it in trade worthy range. The risk was totally worth it.  Our case was the classic of a franchise not having a QB, do what you can to get one.  That often results being thrust into a bad situation, putting crazy pressure on 1 guy, and it becomes even worse when he's not that great.  But if we find ourselves just a few spots behind a guy we really like, I don't see a problem.   We just have to see how the season shakes out and enjoy this roller coaster.  It's not pretty at times but we somehow are 5-4 haha. If Bryce turns a page and cranks out some truly QB driven wins, then maybe we do consider just rolling with him and a Dalton replacement in 2026.  Someone like a Jarrett Stidham/Tanner McKee.   However, if he stays mostly the same (whether we fall apart or he struggles on/off but we still win some), I think you have to leave to door open for a QB in the draft.  Scout and meet with the top ones, see if any really fit what D&D want.  Maybe that guy could be Mateer.  Who knows

      Young QBs lead their teams to undefeated October

      I lived in that area for a minute, and 2 decades of BB and Brady made them delusional.  They think everyone is the 2nd coming of Brady and they're just on a short coffee break til the next dynasty.

      By CRA · Posted

      Bryce Young hasn't cleared 200 passing yards in a single game in that window.  Meanwhile, Rico Dowdle has put together the greatest 5 game stretch of rushing production in Panthers history.   And RBs have sort of been our thing, so there is ample competition.  This team hasn't been lead by Bryce Young in that stretch. Those wins are simplistically 3 things.  Schedule, Rico, and defense.
