didnt he have two acl injuries among other issues?

The fact that he has been healthy for two seasons is the only reason he is being talked about in the draft at all.

I don’t think we’re in a position to draft a player who’ll work “if he can stay healthy.”

Oh I didn’t mean for us. We really can’t afford to draft a LB early IMO. Too many other pressing needs.

that kind of thing hasn't typically worked out for us anyways. if there's a way someone can break or break down, they'll do it. 

but yeah, as good as someone might be "if he can stay healthy"...we just can't take that risk. we don't have a cushion thick enough to take those blows. we need to hit on as many picks as possible, especially our lone pick in the first 2 days of the draft.

He's an old rookie too. 

All this being the case, I'd have to think if he's there on day 3, we'd have to strongly consider him.

That may not be true anymore because of the position we put ourselves in. 

Possible, but I think the contenders with a late 1st would easily trade their 1st for Burns. You wont get a better talent than Burns that late in the draft.

The upper end is very, very high. But his medicals are going to be a BIG deal.

I honestly don't think many people are that interested in his price tag. That's the big road block.
