I love that scenario. I think Reid and Mahomes can keep him on the up-and-up. Worth a 3rd. Worth a move-up in the 4th, honestly.

That's actually pretty fascinating. "He's a shitheel because he's got the sugars..." I mean - that does kinda make some sense? And it might help explain why I think he's been a bit of a disappointment at Texas despite traits that really do jump off the screen to me. But I think Buffalo probably takes him and it's Franklin that we're likely to get a shot at. And to me that would be...okay.

But aunts and balls and bicycles and what not. I can't recall too many prospects of late as universally regarded as a shit-head as Burton seems to be. I mean Pickens was close and look how that's going.

And as the first guy said - is that just a maturity thing? Could be. Just an interesting thing to think about.

I don't remember any specifics about Pickens just that there was off field concerns. Burtons built a resume out of transfers. I think Pickens was even a better prospect but was coming off the ACL so its hard to compare when projecting the slide.

And I still wish we had him. The talent's that loud. And good luck showing up Patrick ****ing Mahomes - that guy will eat your soul. I think it would've worked here far better than it's worked in Pittsburgh (and it hasn't gone THAT poorly in Pittsburgh). But the headache is real. So the talent damn sure better be. Pickens was a top 15 talent but a guy with a reputation as being a pain in the ass. Burton is a top 50 talent and a similar reputation. If you're the 45th best prospect, is the juice still worth the squeeze? Well that's the million dollar question, innit?

I'm fairly confident the only WR's that have first round grades are the top 4 guys.
That's not to say teams aren't going to draft other players at the end of the first, but I think teams don't have first round grades on the other players. I also think there is probably zero consensus on the second and third round WRs. Each player is so vastly different. Keon Coleman for example is #22 at 33rd team, #43 for Jeremiah, #59 for Edholm.

If you listened to scouts talk about Troy Franklin you’d think he was a day 3 pick. Yikes (I’m way higher on him btw)

But yeah if he’s there in rd 3 I say get him. Burning a 3rd on a talent like him wouldn’t be a major loss if it didn’t work out. Worth the risk.

The WR class past the first 4 is a complete toss-up, IMO. Like I've said before, it's why I'm not typically a huge fan of WR in the first round. I'm almost certainly going to be fine waiting until 64 (or more likely, trading up to about 50) and getting what's left. Mitchell is the only guy I see who isn't a consensus first rounder that I think might be a 'first round grade' type of prospect. He's the monkey in the wrench when I do mock draft stuff. Would I be fine taking him at 32 and then hoping Kinglsey or Paul falls to the mid/late 2nd? Do I like Morgan/Walker more than Mitchell/Kingsley at the same general level of required draft capital? Shit man, I dunno. And when that happens, I just kinda fall back to "**** it - just race the track and not the drivers. Play your board and let everyone else do what they do..."
