Man, this is pretty interesting information.
I've been late coming around to Burks but I'm starting to think KC would be the perfect spot for him for the following reasons:
1)Andy said we wanted to get bigger at WR; the bigger WR's we let go (Pringle, Robinson) weren't dynamic at all. MVS and Juju are massive upgrades over them
2)The slot percentages had me worried; but the outside #'s are actually really good on Burks
3)The schemed touches. Does anyone in the NFL do 'schemed touches' like Andy Reid? It's one of his best attributes to find ways to utilize individual athletes unique skillsets. Except for Clyde. I can't explain that.
So I'm coming around on Burks in a larger way. A WR corps full of big, physical bullies is an interesting counter to the rest of the NFL stacking speedy secondaries to stop the Hill era offense.
Also-and I don't want to get into another Watson argument, but the stats there were interesting and validating as well, I thought. I still don't think I'd do it in the first, but if he was there at #50 I'd take him.
Hell, I'd take Burks at #30 and Watson at #50 sandwiched between Wyatt at #29 and Sam Williams/Mafe/Cam Thomas at #62 and feel real good about things moving forward.
