I'm also not sure the defense has that one crazy MFer that will take it to the next level.
The best defenses all have one "kill first, ask questions later" guy that is going to create headaches for his own team on occasion. However, the other 85% of the time he'll provide an emotional lightning rod and dynamic 'violent' presence on the field that makes opponents take pause.
I don't think you need a vocal leader to keep Burfict 'under control', you just need to make sure that you don't have more than one Burfict on the field.
The NFL isn't for the weak of heart and NFL defenses damn sure aren't. I think you want a guy out there that's just a little bit unhinged. If the rest of your team plays smart, calculated football, you can easily make up for the penalty here or broken coverage there that the lunatic provides. At the same time, the lunatic will provide a spark to that defense that can't truly be measured.
I still don't want him in the 1st because I don't think we need to be using a 1st round pick on a secondary ILB, but if he fell to the 2nd I'd absolutely jump at him.
