What do others see in Burns that I'm missing?  I see a helluva athlete who isn't a football player.

 

You look for certain things in a CB to see if they can be elite at the next level even they don't play with proper technique. When you have a CB who is 6ft with a wide wing span it makes it easier to get deflections. When that CB also has great hand to eye coordination you will see more deflections, and a better chance for interceptions. Burns looks like Josh Norman if Normal stood up straight too much and wasn't sure what was going on. Basically you teach Burns how to play properly and you have another Norman.

Every year since 2011 we've taken the guy I wanted in the first except for last year as there was nobody I was in love with, but was 100% on board with the Shaq pick.

Cam was Cam, and I despised Jimmy, easy choice.

Was shocked we actually took Kuechly, even though he was by far and away the guy I wanted.

Never expected Star to fall to us, was actually hoping we would trade up to get him as he was falling.

Wanted KB from the second I saw him in the college skills challenge, even before I knew if he was a realistic possibility with where we were picking.

This year my two guys are Coleman and Hunter, badly want one of them, let's hope my streak continues.

I just don't see that he has a great feel for the game and instincts.  That's what I meant when I said that I'm not sure if he's a football player.  Yeah, his technique is a mess but that can be addressed.  Instincts less so.

Isn't he one of those guys who just started playing and had to split time in a rotation. Way too early to know what he'll evolve into in the long run.
