Im with you bud. Burfict in the 5th would be outstanding. People forget we are losing Connor. Depth at MLB is key and there is no one that will be available then that will come close to his upside.

I mean check out this. He can be a beast.

Didnt see it posted if it was, oh well. I've always supported Vontaze Burict even though most on this forum dislike him. Very good article about him.

Didn't this guy BOMB in his interviews, too? 6th round...sure.

I think we will consider better options although the potential of Burfict is CERTAINLY intriguing. By all accounts, he quit on his team, has attitude problems, is lazy, and has no drive to be great. As anyone can see in the videos, he has outstanding potential and a nose for the football but how much would you really be willing to pay this guy? Of course, someone did draft Maurice Clarett....

sounds like u are judging him based on what other people have said and not by his play. Cam was suppose to be a bust and had all kinds of issues and well, lots of people ate crow when cam lit it up. I rather judge a player on how well they play, and Burficts is a beast on the field.

Can't use the Cam was good so everyone else who has questionable marks could be good as well argument for everyone. Cam's detractors got magnified due to the fact that he was a) On a national championship team b.) One a heisman c) Went to Auburn d) Was a black QB. However though interviews and investigation most proved to baseless or outright lies.

On the other had Burict a) Performance dropped dramatically from prior season b.)Weigh increased dramatically from prior season (not in a good way) c) Gave terrible interviews d) Had a terrible combine e)Blamed everything on his coaches. Not even going to go into the penalty stuff because I like aggressive linebackers. However any argument that counters that shows a lack of discipline can't be discounted. That's a lot of damn negatives tbh.

I only watched 1 ASU game this year so I'm going to have to take your word on the beast part. Numbers don't always reflect actual performance/impact. But using Janoris Jenkins as example if you can play people will gloss over a lot of negatives and the fact that in 2010 he as probably considered a 1st/2nd round pick to possibly undrafted this year speaks volumes about his performance.

      Rams are willing to deal one of the 1st rounders for all-pro talent in secondary

      By strato · Posted

      They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world.

      I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).

      It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
