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.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      I agree, but I've already said that the players will definitely take more money up front because it's more security. But they want more guaranteed money and NFL FOs don't want to do that for several and various reasons, and that's what's at issue.  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-second-round-rookies-finally-starting-to-sign-what-took-so-long-and-what-it-means-for-future-contracts/ It's a tug of war between teams and players, and, sure, paying a player a signing bonus may satisfy them, especially if--and sometimes "only if"--it ultimately leads to a guarantee of more of their contract, but the teams are on the hook for all of those guarantees when cap time comes, so if they guarantee more money, they're ultimately losing the contract game.

      TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.
