wonder if some team in the top 10-15 picks would trade their 1st for him

I honestly think a late 1st is probably about the ceiling for Burns and I'm not sure we could get that. I just think some contender at the back of the 2st might see him as a piece that could put them over the top, but would that be with a late 1st AND a huge contract? I don't know about that.

I mean he's better than most late first rounders or early seconds. They'll never get 2 firsts and a second again. Very few non-QBs are actually worth that and the Panthers should have taken it just on merit. Oh well. Burns isn't a bad player. He's a freakish athlete. But he'll never be elite. You don't pay elite money to pretty good players. That's how you get a team into cap hell.

You can get top receivers anywhere in the draft look at Tank Dell,P Nauca ect just have to pick the right ones....

 

A guy like Troy Franklin could easily be there

You can say that about any position.  You play the odds though, the longer you wait the chances of your pick actually being any good goes down significantly.

Honestly, after hearing that, I want nothing to do with re-signing him now, tag and trade him for whatever we can get and move on.

If he was that afraid of playing hurt, he should have either held out or signed the extension, it says a lot about him and I'm sure it affected his play, which wasn't great.

If he wants to sign for LESS than $20 a season, then sure, I'll take him back.  But if he wants a penny over 20, I have zero interest after hearing this, we need the draft picks and cheap contracts more right now, this team is in an entire rebuild.

      I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.

      This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.

      to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
