You’re right the draft is loaded with RB’s, which is exactly why we should wait to take one.

I’m hoping for the best DL available - with a bias towards DT - as the guys who can have an impact with the pass rush are mostly R1 guys.

I’m not sure Burden wouldn’t even be a R1 guy last year. Probably would land at WR8-10.

I mean, I don’t know why you would be sure of that.

Ricky Pearsall and Xavier Legette were first round picks.

If you think both those teams wouldn’t have jumped to get him instead of them, you’re off. Way, way off.

Burden was the most productive player in the league those dudes played in, and also the best pro prospect.

You could make a case for him being preferred to Ofunze and Worthy, too.

He entered his junior season viewed as a top 10 player and right there with McMillan for WR1 for a reason.

Gosh who was ranked 8-10 last season at WR

I think I'd probably end up putting Burden in/around 7 last season.

Purely as prospects, you have Harrison, Nabers, Odunze and Thomas ahead of him. And honestly, they'd be ahead of everyone in this class, IMO.

So now you're looking at Mitchell, McConkey, Worthy, Pearsall and Coleman? Probably have Mitchell in that group? I'd have had Franklin up there and just been obviously wrong.

I'd put Burden....man, maybe ahead of all of 'em.

Just trying to look at it through the lens of last season, before any of the actual performance on the field last year, I think I'd have had:

Harrison
Nabers
Odunze
Thomas
Mitchell
Burden
Franklin
Worthy
McConkey
Wilson
Pearsall
Coleman

I don't think there's any argument at all to say he wouldn't have been top 10 in that group. He honestly had a pretty good argument for top 5 right behind Thomas and ahead of Mitchell.

The only thing I'm 100% sure of, is that Dante84 is furiously preparing highlight vids and scouting reports on just about every prospect of note

Dude has been a draft wizard for probably ten years running, can't wait to see it all play out

To get to 12 or 8 from 31 would take next years 1st and probably some change.

So...no.

Holding a guy to the standard of 2 guys who took roughly twice the draft capital to acquire seems...unfair.

His posts are the best part of draft.
