How fast is Burton? Ive seen sites say he’s a 4.43 guy and one that said 4.31. That’s a huge difference. But I agree 100% with your analysis, especially in the 4th. That’s a no brainer, talent wise. He’s got a better resume than sky more when we drafted him in the 2nd? The combine is gonna be interesting this year because these guys can run and some of them are huge.

Burton is apparently a shit-disturbing troll who likes to taunt opponents after the game.
He clocked a female Tennessee fan who ran on the field after they beat the Tide last year, and he taunted the Georgia student section after Alabama beat them in the SEC championship game, among other things.
Looks like he's maybe an immature hothead who likes to let opponents know when he cooks them. Maybe even the type of guy who would make a certain hand motion if a ref blew a call, or that would keep antagonizing Kyle Van Noy until he popped and got a personal foul.
I really like the idea of taking a Round 3 or 4 stab on Burton as a double-up at WR if he's there. I think it's an opportunity to take a calculated risk to get a player who far outplays his draft slot.
He's quick, he runs good routes, he tracks the ball well down the field, he can make contested catches, and he's got good deep speed. I see a lot of Stafon Diggs in him.
