Is everyone ok with that pick?  I like the potential but is he mean enough and strong enough to be our sack leader?  I thought going into the draft he was boom or bust.  Thoughts?

 

Impossible to critique players that were drafted and just recently signed contracts and haven't even played one down yet. Cannot be done.

I am asking a question...does Burns have that fire to be great.  I wonder a lot on this guy.  

You must wonder a lot to start a thread on a draft pick in June when nothing new has happened since it was discussed constantly after he was picked.

And allowing him to be a standup OLB edge rusher.  Absolutely LOVE this pick.

Random time to ask that question. 

 

If Brian Burns was brought up today, I was thinking it would be more about how much of a threat he’s going to be now that our interior line will get more push with Poe Short and McCoy up the middle to make Burns job easier.

    • When we drafted Luke, we already had Cam, Smith, Olsen, Stewart, Deangleo, Gross, Kalil, CJ, Hardy, Beason, TD, Gamble (and maybe more I'm forgetting), we had a lot of great pieces in place. Going pure BPA for a player with Luke's potential when the LB you already have is different when you already have all those pieces in place.  Our OL right now is probably in a better shape than that team and our RBs and TE have potential compared to proven vets back then, but after that, the 2012 roster was in a far better shape than we are right now. We need a #1 WR, DEs, LBs, DBs, C, and depending who you ask a QB.  Going BPA at pick #5 when that player is a DT and your current best player on either side of the ball is a DT, seems irresponsible. If he's the only player they like that high left, then you trade back and go with position of more need at a slot that makes sense for the player while adding other picks.  If you trade back and he falls because other teams don't need/want a DT, then you consider him at that point because of the value.    
    • This sounds like the same back and forth when we drafted a LB when we already had a LB or as mentioned prior back to back DLs. I want the BPA, if it is another DT so be it. (No not a kicker/punter for those people that think they are funny))
