Hence the part where i said "as of right now"  meaning things could change. Burns is our only consistent pass rusher right now and there is need to get someone else close to his level. Good lord... comprehension is terrible around here. 

Consistent isn't the word I would use for Burns either lol

I've watched teams like the Pats, Seahawks and Steelers take guys earlier than predicted for years. Questioned on draft day, but pan out once they get under the tutalage of a talented coaching staff.

We've been denied this for years....it's a new era. I'll trust Evero and Capers here finding a compliment to Burns.

Id much rather take a risk that benefits the offense, than doing it for defense like we have been just about every year of our existence. It never got us any championships or back to back winning seasons. Its time to favor offense now.

Okay cool concept.

 

What "risk" was there at 80 on the offensive side at the ball?

Dude ran 4.49 at 260 and 6’4”. Lots of predraft stuff said he was raw and didn’t have the numbers. Glue him to Burns in TC. If Burns is going to get what we think, part of that will be getting raw talent to where they need to be. Especially a guy so similar in measurable that needs technique work. Coach him up.

    • Fair, sure.  Still not worthy of the #1 pick and still has major issues.  And you absolutely have to be concerned that for bryce to make a nfl caliber throw the conditions have to be optimal around him.  And those sacks around the 10 minute mark are just brutal to watch.
    • But his arm wasn't destroyed due to his throwing motion, it was from essentially two hits / injuries.  Tackle to prevent a pick 6 due to a lazy Benjamin route in 2016.  That was the start of having to be on a pitch count in practice.  2018 TJ Watt hit after Cam had already adjusted his mechanics and was having his best year statistically speaking, although I remember even that year questioning if he can still sling it deep. 
    • Arm elasticity and arm strength are not the same thing.  There are some who have great arm strength but can't deliver off platform throws, sidearm, etc,  due to lack of elasticity.  I am concerned about Bryce's arm strength to deliver the ball when the anticipation throws aren't there and you simply need to fire a ball into a tight window.  Not sure that can ever be part of this game.  He does have good arm elasticity which is what made him special in college, throwing the ball on the move, that should serve him well in the NFL especially when he gets outside of the pocket.  My biggest concern is standing in the pocket, pressure in the face and not being able to set his feet will affect him more than others due to his height and arm strength.
