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

'A Football Life': How conditioning helped Bruce Smith's career (nfl.com)

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.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
