CoMo misses pretty much everything.
After CoMo's prognosticating, I'm not convinced that Gaines will be healthy all year, Houston will be at full speed by October and the Raiders will go 4-12. If CoMo believes something, it's best to believe the opposite. Every few years there's a thread created of his greatest hits and its uncanny how universally inaccurate the guy is.

I'd JIMP, but Burns won't make it out the 2nd IMO.

I feel like I've jumped the fence, but I'd rather go elsewhere in the first than lynch.
Love the sheppard puck, I think he'd be the 2nd best wr on our squad from day 1. |

seems like a pipe dream, though stranger things have happened.

He's Mayock's #3 CB.
Daniel Jeremiah has us taking him in the 1st in his latest mock. Matt Miller claims 3 teams have Burns ahead of Alexander with a late 1st round grade. A lot of signs pointing to him being an early 2nd rounder at worst. If he's sitting there at our 2nd, I'm taking him before I take a WR (assuming we don't take a corner in the 1st). |

Guys like burns that climb once the pro days and combine scare me a little. He is pretty raw to expect to step in and play that well right away.
I am not against drafting him but it's a little scary. I think my cb preference would be Jackson Apple Alexander Burns |

Can see a lot of people calling Burns a bust when he doesn't get on the field his rookie year just like Nelson

I don't know what we could have learned from the combine/pro day that we didn't know already. Him running in the low 4.4s surprised nobody in NFL circles. He's a track star going back to HS. The bottom line is when NFL coaches/personell guys see a long CB with great speed, and ball skills, they trust their ability to develop him. Especially in a scheme like ours. The past 10 years, I've watched Hurricanes prospect after hurricanes prospect go on to have much better NFL careers than college, and this guy is near the top of the list. The coaching this guy will receive from Al Harris and Emmit Thomas is immensely better than what he received at Miami, and he will be better from that alone day 1.

To be clear though, I would still take Alexander if I had my choice.

That's why there was so much railing against the Mitch Morse pick; it didn't fit the conventional mold of a second round pick. He was a safer pick that didn't have that big-time upside you often see in 2nd rounders (well, at least he didn't appear to at the time). Burns looks to me like a dead-on mid-2nd. The problem is that he'll almost certainly be gone before we get a shot at him in the late 2nd. And as I've said many times over - I'm hugely opposed to trade-downs out of the first unless you can get at least a 2nd for your troubles because I think the value of that 5th year option is enormous given the rise in the FA $$ pool and salary floor that keeps the market flush in cash every year. If some team wanted to jump from the early 2nd into the late 1st to try to snag Paxton Lynch away from Denver, A) I'd be tempted to just take Lynch but B) if they'd give me next year's 2nd and a 4th this season, I'd consider it. I wouldn't take anything less than that though and I'd be very reluctant to move down more than 10 spots. If I can't get that, the question is whether or not I like Burns enough to decide that he's worth the 'reach' knowing that I won't get him otherwise. For me the answer is probably not, but it would depend on how the board has gone to that point. At this point it would be virtually impossible to convince me to go DL in the first; just too much depth there. If the other guys I really like are gone by the end of the 1st, I could potentially talk myself into it. I still think I'd prefer Fuller though, provided that the medicals check out and I'm convinced injuries messed up his '15.
