Where do you recall seeing those stats? 

Pff has them in their breakdown and has him with a 55 rush grade. Burns was a 75 rush grade. Similar rush defense grades.

the other stats are from a Vikings free agency outlook breakdown

 

hea considered a 3rd down only pass rush rotational player. He shouldn’t be starting at all and should be at least your 3rd de

Don't know if it's been asked, but what are their snap counts? Similar?

You guys just see 8 sacks and think he’s like that. He’s not 

Exactly. He's somebody that plays the position that might get a sack if playing with someone else that's really applying pressure.

Those stats account for the last two years. Burns was much better two years ago (most likely effort related), while Wonnum had a worse year in 2022. 
 

They graded Burns 20 points higher at pass rushing and Wonnum 9 points higher at rush defense over that two year period. 

No one is saying Wonnum is of equal talent to Burns. But he’ll put up 55%+ of Burns pass rush production and likely better rush defense for ~30% cost.

The #Panthers FO was right to cut the three vets and avoid the post-June 1 spreading. They have also been smart about either A) signing young vets off their rookie deals or B) signing vets under 30 with connections to the staff. Johnson trade was an obvious flier/outlier with low risk/high reward applications that was justified by opportunity cost. Clowney would obviously be a price and age outlier, too (though he was in Seattle with most of the staff on offense). But the idea of upside or system understanding over simply filling holes with descending talent is evident. Morgan and Tilis are off to a logical, and seemingly thoughtful, start.

Burns wins the snap but can't finish as many have been saying.

The 6.7 and the 9 for win rate and pass rush success was from this past season for DJ. Just this past season. He was ranked 43rd out of 51 pass rushers with 300 rush attempts.

Well, he had an 11% pressure win rate. That ranks him 20th for DTs (and he was playing with Spiderman). Brown made his lunch money during the run last season, but he's no pushover against the pass for a DT. I think it's going to take someone who can generate more pressure on the other side to have a viable pass rush

And who was beside DB most the season? I barely watched lol. Tuttle? A'Shawn should be a little upgrade to what he was working with inside last season

[Bear Hands]

Great pickup with long term potential. 

This is the type of FA surprising to see come here ha — all for it

He needs to become a bit more consistent as a pass rusher but he has strong spurts
