So we're full time 3-4 now? Or is he only coming in when we play 3-4? Or is he playing 4-3 DE then 3-4 OLB? I think the thing people are worried about is the 4-3 DE part although, I'd be concerned if yes is the answer for the first 2 questions.

Looks like we will play mostly 3-4 with Irvin and Burns additions.  We also have Addison and few others.  We are loaded at LB.

He’s a perfect outside LB for 3-4.  Our LBs are set with Burns-Luke-Thompson-Irvin.  We need safety and DL

 

Irvin isn't a starter anymore.

[Black&BlueBubba]

Yeah he tested in the 94th percentile.  Dude is a hell of an athlete 

[SazmoRanger]

He’s also the same exact size of the Vikings’ Danielle Hunter. Hunter was drafted in 2015 and has 40 sacks in his career. 14.5 last year. 

Vikings run a 4-3 defense as well. 

Loving this pick right now.

Very interested to see what Rivera is cooking up and how Burns fits into the plan. Can't decide how I feel about it until I see him play in our scheme. I trust Ron to evaluate talent and get who fits best.

To play devils advocate. How many Von Millers are there? Not many

If he played anywhere else he wouldn't have made it out of the top 10

The dude's #'s were on pace with Von Millers his first 2 seasons when they both were playing their natural position at OLB.

Burns had a coaching change and scheme change, playing 4-3 DE which isnt his most natural fit and STILL produced.

 

His combine #'s were also on pace with him

And his drills as well

Thing people are missing is we are assuming the rest of our LBs and DEs will be effective in the 3-4. Having only a couple LBs that we know can play it doesn't boost confidence that it will work that way.

Surely we would not spend our first rounder on a situational player?

[panther252]

His bend is crazy good. The best we've seen in a while. Can't wait to see this staff get a hold of him and use utalize his versatility and athletic ability in creative ways. This guy could be the engine for our new hybrid D

Even if we do

Dude is helluva versatile 

 

Mcshay on sportcenter mock draft had us getting him

And they said he is skilled enough, he could even play that joker 4-3 OLB role that Anthony Barr plays in Minnesota

You’re in rare passive aggressive form tonight, Scot. Who did you want at 16? I’m guessing not Burns, lol!

If you're are going to run multiple hybrid front scheme.. You need a player like this at some point.. Why are you not getting that??
