You take him with your 1st round pick and put him in a different system, I won't. We've been through this with Orakpo, Smith, Murphy, and possibly Ryan Anderson. I don't want that headache. Agreed. I'd much rather have a high end athlete like Sweat or Burns than another big and slow guy back there that shouldn't be playing linebacker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If for some shocking reason Gregg Williams is coaching this team in 2020 which I think has a really good chance of happening, this defense and the talent they’ve started to accumulate could be something special. Need to keep building and adding to it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously if they just said to hell with the offense and drafted an OLB and MLB in the first two rounds, retained Norman and brought back HAha think about how the defense would look.

The defense is not that far off and that’s why I think the Rosen deal is so important. That deal needs to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Umbaugh21 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 As an FSU fan I am all for Burns. He has been a play maker for us on defense since he was a true freshman, he is a phenomenal athlete who plays stronger than his size, kind of like telvin smith.

If you consider it solely from the perspective of "Brice doing everything he can to save his ***" ... it fits (and would actually help the team).

This has been one of my biggest complaints about the 3-4: projecting talent into a system the player isn't familiar with. Focusing wholesale on Alabama (a team that does run a 3-4) mitigates that problem, but it also narrows your talent pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bo Duke Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Its frustrating this year to figure out how they're going to play this draft. I have no clue. Other than rb and dline, everything seems to be on the table for our first round pick. I don't like the idea of taking the 5th or 6th best edge rusher though. Especially at pick 15. Justin Houston would be a really smart signing to get us through a couple seasons. We need some young weapons on offense asap. Hopefully we focus on that side of the ball during draft. We have been neglecting it for a while and it's really starting to show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bo Duke Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Not solely but if we have 9 picks it would be wise to invest at least 6 on the offensive side of the ball. I wouldn't mind 3 of the first 4 to be honest. We got to do better than 13 points a game, defense can't win them all. First 4 picks I could live with honestly is Hockenson,Butler, Dru Samania and Will Grier. It would be a decent start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we scored a game last year was indicative of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t need to dump every draft choice into the offense without the person who was keeping them from scoring to begin with basically never playing again.

He also mentioned drafting Will Grier, so it would be building around the rookie, not Smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
