What's Burns worth at this point?

[Khyber53]

Burns' PR has been better than his performance.

Since he got here.

For all the money and attention since he got here, you'd think we considered him Julius Pepper's reborn. He's not even close.

He has a run around the right tackle move. And he's got... well... ummm... 

But the Spiderman celebration really does rock.

He doesn't have a good bull rush, he can't break double teams, he gets knocked back if the tackle gets the first hit on him squarely, he is a liability in rush defense and only helps if he can pursue a guy from behind and jump on the pile.

He'd be the DE/OLB2 on pretty much any other team.

Great guy, great personality, great guy for the community. He outshines our other DEs/OLBs. But that's mainly because we field more scrubs than a nursing supply store.

He's not worth what he's getting paid right now. None of them are. But in his case he is massively overrated and demanding far more compensation than what he brings to the field.  

I'm looking at you Fitterer.

Having that draft capital is huge for many many reasons.    Also in regards to this season, anyone objectivily looking at this franchise and roster could see we were (God knows how far off we are now) but we were a couple seasons out from being a top tier team if things went our way.

So in closing fitt fuged up and it should cost him his job.

I agree he has done a poor job selecting players the past 3 seasons, but not trading Burns shouldn't factor into the equation.

This is why we are a team devoid of talent! Don't think that this year's draft class is going to be any different! 

----

We had 11 picks in the 2021 draft (the year Scott took over). Only 3 have had a significant impact on the team (though the most talented of the bunch has had his promising career marred by injury)

2022 Draft: 

• Ikem Ekwonu, OT, NC State. Jim Dedmon-USA TODAY Sports. ...
• Matt Corral, QB, Ole Miss. Brad Mills-USA TODAY Sports. ...
• Brandon Smith, LB, Penn State. AP Photo/Brian Westerholt. ...
• Amaré Barno, DE, Virginia Tech. ...
• Cade Mays, OL, Tennessee.

Ekwonu hasn't played well this year, but he could be having the dreaded sophomore slump. He has shown glimpses of being a competent starter at time. Corral isn't even in the league anymore. We traded picks to move up to get him and left Sam Howell on the board even though he lasted until the 4th round. Howell has shown signs of being a legit starting QB. 

2023 Draft

 

• Round 1 | Pick 1 overall (from CHI) Bryce Young, QB, Alabama.
• Round 2 | Pick 39 overall. Jonathan Mingo, WR, Ole Miss.
• Round 3 | Pick 80 (from PIT) DJ Johnson, EDGE, Oregon.
• Round 4, Pick 114 overall. Chandler Zavala, G, NC State.
• Round 5, Pick 145 overall. Jammie Robinsons, S Florida St.

I don't see any sure things in this draft class. We're hoping the first two can pull it together by season's end. We gave away picks for DJ Johnson who has been inactive for several games. People were disappointed with Zavala's play before he got hurt yesterday. I don't even know if Jammie has seen the field this year. It's not looking like this is going to go down as one of the all time best draft classes in Panther history.

At this point I wouldn't trust Fitterer if he had 3 #1 draft picks heading into a draft. At least Marty Hurney had a track record of nailing those first round picks. You know, I'm starting to really wonder if our GMs are being fed bad intel by the scouting team.

Probably a 1st and another mid round pick (between 2nd and 4th depending on the team trading)
