Cincinnati drafted Burton despite having Chase and Higgins.

Niners drafted Pearsall while having Deebo and Aiyuk.

Don't have time to go through the entire league, but you don't pass up a playmaker just because you think you have the position covered.

Hint: Plus we only have two WR under contract in 2026 and beyond.

You act like we'd be passing up a 1st round receiver for a bag of dicks. Smh. You realize there are other good players to draft at other positions, yes? You also realize there will be good receivers in the 2026 draft, no? Burden is a great freaking player. Ill be thrilled if they draft him. All I said was I think it would benefit THIS year's roster if we used our first rounder elsewhere. Rice, Worthy, Hollywood, Kelce is a top 5 WR1, WR2, WR3, TE combo in the league. Our running back room is downright horse shit! God help our intereior defensive line if CJ95 gets seriously injured as well.

Hint: We have freaking ZERO running backs under contract for 2026! Zero. Also, the teams you mentioned, Packers, Bengals, Texans, Niners how did their seasons go last year? Did the Packers have a dang good receiver bitching and moaning and disturbing the locker room because he wasnt getting the ball because they had too many receivers? WTF did Burton do for Bengals even WITH Higgins hurt much of the year? 4 freaking catches all year and didnt travel with the team late in year due to coach decision? That pick would have been better spent on defense! By all means though keep using valuable draft picks on receivers who cant get on the field. Is it entirely possible Burden's ego is a little hurt if he is stuck behind Rice/Worthy/Hollywood?

So, with a draft loaded with RB's, who would you draft @ RB in the first? Just asking because most of the "better" RB's have already been taken even if we traded up to the mid 20's? What RB would you draft in the first that you see worthy in our current draft position?

I don't know 'bout you, but I ain't takin' no runnin' back in round one.

There will be good backs all the way through round 5 this draft.

I think a Damien Martinez right abour #133 looks mighty fine. Mighty fine indeed.

By all means I do not want a RB w/ 1st pick. A RB can be picked up in later rounds was my point.

Crow has warmed me to Etienne.

I'd have probably liked him sooner if his last name was Taylor or something. Travis just turned into a bum so damn fast.

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.

I want TreVeyon Henderson at 31….BUT I’d be very happy with Burden too.

I just put this in the draft forum and firmly talked myself into Henderson as my 1B to Conerly instead of Tuimoloau or any WR...

"If TreVeyon Henderson is sitting there, as much as there are a ton of great backs in this draft, there is not a more perfect match for Andy Reid and what he likes to do with that position. He would probably see as many or more targets in the passing game as a slot WR would. That kid would turn Reid back into the kid in the candy store that made this offense great. In Brian Westbrook's heyday, he had 73-703-6, 61-616-4, 77-699-4, 90-771-5, and 54-402-5. A couple of those seasons he also rushed for over 1200 yards. Henderson can have that type of passing game impact."

Greg Cosell broke down Henderson and repeatedly compared him to Westbrook. One note on Henderson, for a smaller back, dude is elite in pass pro. Absolutely freaking lays people out

Henderson. Lets get this offense as explosive as possible in both the run and pass game. The top 5 teams in the NFL have stud backs except for the Chiefs (Eagles, Lions, Ravens, Bills).
