Or is it just as likely he's what he is now and woulda been overhyped last year?
I don't know, don't really have an opinion on it either way to be sure.

Slides happen when guys are 2nd on boards.
And I think there's a decent chance that Burden just ends up 2nd on a lot of boards.
Some teams will be looking at different positions. Other teams have legitimate concerns if they can bring his personality into their locker-room. Still others will wonder if they can fully utilize him within their offense.
Many of them will just be wrong, IMO. And all of them will still like him, just maybe not quite as much as others.
But to your point, yes - that's absolutely my biggest worry. That a team like the Ravens - a team with few needs and a very stable organization - will grab him right in front of us. Because they'll be focused purely on the raw talent and the Ravens often seem to avoid overthinking things.
If you focus on talent and avoid overthinking it, Burden is a spectacular get in the last 1st round. I can only hope that the Ravens focus more on their defense than getting a weapon for Jackson.
