[45catfan]

A ton of protein shakes and ham sammiches.

you don't want burns gaining too much weight. his game is athleticism and his ludicrous bend

either way they better put brown besides burns or its going to be weakside power all season

What is to much weight?? He was 255 last year.. that's only 10 pounds from CJ normal play weight.. He's 21 years old and has access a professional training staff.. This is that big of a deal..

Calling him a small DE annoys me in the same way as when we had to listen to how Mccaffrey was too small to run between the tackles.

Burns is plenty big and has plenty of more room to fill out. He’ll be more than fine

[Snake]

A trade for whatever we can get. Probably a 7th.

[AU-panther]

He can play weakside at 260.

Also I'm sure we are going to rotate D-line, just like most teams.  He will probably sit out some run plays.

Chase Young has 0 inches and 14 pounds on him and is considered the next great DE. I’m not sure why people think Burns is small... Weatherly, KK, Brown, and Burns is going to be a solid defensive line for us this year. We need a CB next to make this defense somewhat respectable...

Watch Super Bowl 50--Vonn Miller.  Denver ran a 4-3.

Burns will be fine and show out this year.

As long as he doesn't get in a fist fight with the ground again.

they didn't run a 4-3 that year, that was the year they had ware and miller as OLBs, wolfe and malik jackson on the interior and someone else who i can't remember as their nose tackle. but, earlier in his career, von did play in a 4-3. played damn well in it too.

How is Burns small when Danielle Hunter is the same size with his hand in the dirt and people considered him a freakshow? Oh it's our guy, therefore he's tiny. Just give him time. Hunter wasn't a full time player until his 3rd season and he was extremely productive off the bench. The vikings developed him good and with our track record I think we will be able to take care of Burns as well.

Burns will look better with this pick.

[Soul Rebel]

3 NFL DEs that are near the top of the class have similar stature as Burns: Ngakoue, Hunter, & Fowler. 

Mario Addison.... was 6'3" & 260. No doubt Burns can add 10 lbs of muscle and still have the bend/speed production off the edge.

Honestly, we need to give BB a chance to play the 4-3 end, whether it is weak or strong side. I agree he is a bit undersized for run D, but he can easily gain some weight/muscle mass to fill the role. I think we are forgetting that he was a rookie last year and will need some time to fill in his role, especially converting from our bogus whatever you call it "3-4" to "4-3"
