Offensive Priorities in order

  • QB (Draft)
  • WR (2--free agent, draft)
  • RB (free agent)
  • T (depth)
  • TE (depth, pass catching)

It is hard for me to tell with the defense.  YGM is probably a pass-rushing DE or a run-stuffing Edge.  Chinn is probably going to play nickel and the in-the-box S when they run the 3 S looks--so may players are hybrids, it is hard to gauge it in a depth chart format.

Tuttle is a confirmed NT in our system as reported by a team source yesterday.  I imagine McCall/Roy and a rookie would back him up. 

300 lbs is not a traditional NT, he's more likely the DE opposite DB, NT right now defaults to MCCall originally listed at 380, but now listed at 345.

I would still like to move on from Henderson and get a good #2 CB. DJ isn't reliable enough to be a #2.

Makes me sad when I read that. We gave Donte a big contract and spent a high 3rd on CJ. We’ll know soon on CJ as I think his 5th year option will not be cheap and I think you have to declare the 5th year option this offseason (year 4). They changed it with Sam where it’s now guaranteed, period, as soon as you declare it.

His size and weight is 6'5 250 and the greatest 3-4 DE was Bruce Smith 6'4 265

Burns doesn't have burn the weight

SMH. Bruce Smith was drafted 38 years ago. The size of NFL players is drastically different and Smith was bigger.

Go ahead and put Burns at 3-4 DE and see how he does.

Some of the ways y'all look at positions makes me question a lot. This isn't the 90s where guys way less at some of today's positions.

We're likely looking at:

DL - Brown, McCall, Tuttle

ILB - Shaq, Smith

Edge - Burns, Luvu 

No kidding and Smith already played 5 years before the 90s even started. Comparing the sizes of guys drafted 34 years apart? All you have to do is be a Panthers fan and watched games to think Burns makes zero sense as a 3-4 DE. Have his run stops are using his speed to come around unblocked to make the tackle from behind. Hey guys, let’s line him up so he has to go through the tackle and guard first.
