Only edge I see better under 25 is Chase Young/Nick Bosa and its very close. Burns is a FREAK and my biggest draft crush of all time. I too thought he was/should have gone 4 to the Raiders...

Those guys are a little different because they are size/speed freaks. 

Either way, I am happy to have Spiderman on the team.

Burns' size was a legit concern. Dude is LEAN as all hell for a DE. Has the length and the strength but there were concerns that he wouldn't be able to put on weight/keep it up in the NFL.

I remember him being in the 225-235 lbs range but it blew my mind people thought he couldn't bulk up on that 6'5" frame. Burns was just starting to scrape his potential at FSU and growing into his frame. He had bend, speed, youth and growth potential. Ferrell to me had almost maxed out and even then underperformed considering the wealth of talent on that defensive line at Clemson.

How old is Myles Garrett?

And Chase Young is definitely better.

 

Burns really needs to step up. 

10 sacks a season should be his floor and we should expect 14 to 16 a year out of him. 

He needs to start converting these pressures. He definitely missed several tackles on QBs last year.

"I understand that you little guys start out with your woobies and you think they're great... and they are, they are terrific. But pretty soon, a woobie isn't enough. You're out on the street trying to score an electric blanket, or maybe a quilt. And the next thing you know, you're strung out on bedspreads. That's serious."

About to be 26... I would take him over Burns as well. But the only 3 young guys I see that are better are Chase Young, Nick Bosa and Garrett, but its extremely close and none of them have Burns's bend or speed. He just lacks power as of now. Id put him on the same level as them though. Stud!

I remember Sweat being the talk of the town for a minute.  Don’t think I was on board but I can’t remember that far back.

Sweat tested off the charts at the combine that year. I wanted him too. He had a crazy 40 time and was 10-15 lbs bigger than Burns, who was kind of light as a DE. Burns' output has been a pleasant surprise for me. He has an elite "get-off" that Sweat (and most others) do not.

You are in a thread called "Brian Burns-best young edge in the league." And you think he needs to "Step up"?

 

Maybe we should ask opposing QBs to hold on to the ball for another 1/2 second if they would? That might improve his stat count. Or maybe improve the Secondary, to give BB the extra time he needs to get to the QB? 

 

I''m sure if we put our minds to it, we can work something out to get him over that last hurdle into greatness.

ah the memories of draft night. And leading up to that draft.

I was excited about the pick from the start because this dude just oozed insane pass rushing talent, but those were some fair concerns at the time. Of course they look stupid now.

 

Also, while this is a nice stat with the pressures, it's just one stat. He's definitely one of the best young pass rushers in the league but I wouldn't call him the best yet just based off of having the most pressures. He still needs to work on finishing up those pressures with more sacks.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By lumbeecheraw75 · Posted

      overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
