3. EDGE BRIAN BURNS, CAROLINA PANTHERS

No. 16 overall pick

Burns was productive at Florida State and was a favorite of many analysts prior to the 2019 draft, but he fell to the No. 16 overall pick because of questions surrounding his size and ability to defend against the run. Through three seasons these concerns appear to have some merit, as Burns has struggled against the run and as a tackler. However, that is not what gets an edge rusher paid in this league — getting after the quarterback does, and that's where Burns excels.

Burns' 107 quarterback pressures over the last two seasons rank 11th among edge defenders, his 83.8 pass-rush grade ranks 16th, and his 18 sacks are tied for 12th with Tampa Bay Buccaneers edge defender Shaquil Barrett.

Panthers general manager Scott Fitterer has made it clear that getting a long-term deal done with Burns is a top priority.

Contract projection: Five years, $120 million ($24M per year), $95 million total guaranteed

yea I don’t think we have a choice. But Burns needs help, he isn’t elite take over one man army kind of player. And we have no one.

i reallly really don’t like the look of the dline this year, at all. have a feeling it’s going to be very bad. brown is on pace to set it back big time.

I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Brown bounce back nicely. Seems like everyone has forgotten that he had a pretty promising rookie season. I expect the DL to take a step back in rushing the passer but take a significant step forward stopping the run. Having Reddick and Burns at DE gives you some serious speed to get after the QB with the serious tradeoff that your lacking significantly in run stuffing ability.

honestly, those kind of numbers surprise me, but I know they are becoming the norm as the salary cap increases each year.  Brian will be our highest paid player in franchise history at 24 mill a year.  

He's also only 24 years old, so his prime is ahead of him.  Maybe he'll out-perform the contract.

Re-do all the contracts we did this year to free up for Air Thruster and push as much of those into 2022 as we can. Basically the opposite of what we did with them originally. Then let Burns play this year and if he balls out like we all hope then we will be golden to sign him long term.

Getting Sam off the books and eating g as much this year for guys under contract would open a lot of options for us next year.

      Anyone else think we’re getting too hyped

      By PantherBoy95 · Posted

      While I have a chance to be overly excited I'll take that opportunity. The team will determine what happens with that. It's been a while since we've had much to be excited about, I'd say let's just embrace it and see how it unfolds.

      Knowns: top 10 o line 2 proven, quality RBs 2 proven, WRs who get open and catch everything. 2 others who show a lot of ‘potential’ A QB who improved greatly in the last few games of the season, topped off by putting up a 40 burger win in OT in this franchise’s kryptonite house. What will transpire this season is yet to be seen.  defense has far less proven. 2  very good CBs, a stud DT (coming off a major injury) and the rest is, again, ‘potential.’ A DC that is essentially starting the season on the hot seat.  This is not 2003, but it could be good. 2003 was the most stacked roster from top to bottom that this team has ever had. This squad finished on a big upswing, yes, but we’ll see.  I think it all comes down to how spiked your hopium is. The running game is where it is for the team. This is not a defense that will win 3 points games. Just not. To win, this team will have to dominate TOP and come up with 2+ more 3rd down stops each game. Again, do-able and should be good for at least a 7 point differential in our favor, ‘hopefully.’  I will say that it is nice seeing talent that actually belongs in the NFL on our roster.

      I believe in bryce...

      Say what you want, but last year Bryce gave Carolina the best QB-play we've seen a very long time. A very long time. Often with rookies at WR and TE, and a RB not known for his receiving abilities. There is much reason for optimism with added weapons, and consistency/ chemistry on the offensive line and coaching staff. Now if the defense can get to average instead of a heaping lump of dog doo, this team should win a lot more games. This season is a turn the corner season. Next season is the year to press the accelerator to the floor.
