He was viewed as a top 15 pick entering this season. None of the stuff that had him there changed. If you’re excited about the prospect of drafting Simmons because he’s a talent that normally would not be available to the Chiefs, the same should apply to Burden, really. Except Burden just has some bland character concerns, not an injury that has ruined the career of every other guy who has had it.

He’s a diva WR, but most of the best ones are. Some scouts who don’t like the NIL landscape bad-mouthing him doesn’t go too far with me.

Biggest concern for me with Burden would be if you feel comfortable that he and Rice can be used simultaneously.

Dude, you're completely misunderstanding my point. I would 100% be good with Burden, and there's a damn good chance he'd be my BPA too.

But that doesn't mean he doesn't have character concerns.

My point was more about Pickens though. That is 100% not the guy to point to to say this stuff is often overblown
