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.

    • PJ's completion % was 63% when starting games in Carolina.  Which I believe is better than Bryce when starting.  And again, 4-3 as the starter here and the LONE QB Carolina has been able to actually win with in the Tepper era.  If you ask a gambling gunslinger to come into blowouts.....they are going to go down in a blaze of glory.  Which he would do.  Yeah, he isn't good.  And gunslingers are supposed to have rockier stats than checkdown QBs.   So....why does PJ Walker have a better comp % as a starter than Bryce Young.  And for every knock you want to make about PJ, you can find something or a skillset that PJ does better than Bryce.   I didn't say PJ had good field vision.  He doesn't.  Tell me about Bryce after he comes off the first read lol.  Let me repeat, PJ Walker is not a good QB.  He is NFL depth and an in house arm.  Bryce Young doesn't belong in a convo w/ Jake and Cam.  He belongs closer in a convo with the backup caliber QBs Carolina was forced into playing.  Which isn't just PJ Walker.  But Kyle Allen.  Moore.  Guys like that.   
    • Oh I see what you meant by memory. I will trust my memory, I have looked a a lot of those ball charts for Bryce and they trend a general pattern. They thing that has changed that I have noticed more recently is the reduction in the bunching of behind or at  the LOS passes over to his right.  Aside from the quantity of throws recently since the running game has become a more dominant factor. 
    • Yes but you basically said you are going from a quick skim of those charts without doing the same for Bryce and/or Andy. So you are going memory vs. snapshots. That's not going to be a very comprehensive analysis.
