Burden at 29 would be a massive steal. He's my favorite WR in the class along with Egbuka. He also doesn't even turn 22 until December.
I got to watch Burden more. I had a hard time getting into him on my first watch. I know the 40 is big for him coming him, some questions about his speed. Will see.
He's pretty great. Not the biggest guy, but he has a lot of natural power and physicality for a guy with an average build in a way that is similar to Terry. Great open field speed and acceleration. He's a really good deep threat, and he's really tough. He's somewhere between Terry and Amon-Ra St Brown in style and skill set.
He's a top 15 player in the class to me, and if he's there, we need to pounce. He was pretty much universally considered a top ten talent heading into the year and his stock has really tanked because of his unproductive season. Him falling to us seems like the kind of buy low opportunity that the Cowboys and Eagles have been making hay on with their draft picks.
Trey Harris is still one of my favorite receivers in the class too. He kind of got wiped out of the first round by his injury, but his value feels great in the second. Curious to see what his workouts at the combine look like. I think speed is more of a question for him than for Burden. To me Burden looks and plays fast, and I'm actually hoping he runs a slow 40 so that it'll shoo off the dumb teams and let him fall. He's absolutely a BPA candidate at 29, but it'd be even better to trade back and still get him in the second.

Ugh, almost all the DB's skipped the agility drills. Laaaaame.
That said, I'm surprised by Darian Porter. Elite testing in everything. Dominant length. He's just so old to be this raw (only 1 year as a CB), and he looks really raw. But all that physical potential is tempting...but he's so old...

Tuten one of my guys in the mid round range for RBs.
I watched some Kyle Monangai. He's fun. He's in the bran of Skattebo, slightly less of a violent runner. He's YPC is fairly pedestrian so I wondered if lol youtube just happens to have his best games as to what's featured. But from what i watched, he's a poor man's Skattebo with what looks like more speed -- but will see soon if that's so.
Speaking of Skattebo tha's a good number for him. Wonder if he shines some today more than expected as to his athleticism.
