His skillset fits the 3-4 edge position better, but it's not like we can't just line him back up on the DL if he plays worse in the 3-4 (which I can't see happening).  Evero listed Burns as a top reason he wanted to come here and then proceeded to switch us to his 3-4.  He probably has a better understanding than most on how Burns should look.  

Waiting could be a dangerous game, but at the end of the day he is probably going to make a large amount of money regardless.  

he might be a better pass rusher as a 3-4 OLB.  He might not be.  Never seen it.  3-4 might also highlight some of his weaknesses more.  Don't know.

It appears to be a defense that is catered to both Burns and Browns strengths.  I really like Brown as a 3-4 DE vs a DT in a 4-3.    I get what you are saying though, it may look great on paper but it doesn't make it a guarantee.

if you are the Carolina Panthers, would you really want to give him a massive deal before you have seen him play a down in the new 3-4 scheme? 

 

I think everybody knows that he is going to absolutely kill it as a stand up OLB rusher.  His speed is his biggest asset and that is really gonna do him well as a 3/4 edge.

He is going to want more than Bosa and will get it.  It doesn't matter if people think Bosa is better, the last one to sign will get a slightly better contract

No way - he can't justify that at all.  I think he's going to recalculate what top 5 money means based on Bosa pushing the bar higher.

That's not how the NFL works.  He is going to get more cause he signed last and that's why he is waiting

I thought Rivera switched to a 3-4 defense for the 2019 season to try save his tenure? Atleast that was the talks before that season. If so, then Burns maybe have experience from such a system or did he play DE in Riveras system?

I'm not sure what the 2019 season was.  I thought we ran a mix of everything.  Both looks.  

I know we were horrific against the run.

Burns sucks at run defense. End of story.

Once we turned down that Rams deal we all but told Burns he will be resigned/extended and it will be for a large amount of money.  I would imagine we had some idea of what he was wanting before we turned down an offer like that.

This. If you turn down 2 first rounders and you don’t resign the guy you will be shown the door

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
