I know most don't like it, but I really think this is the move they make. They want route running and precision. I worry about his age and production. But he gets open and catches the football. 

 

Agreed but he is the same age as Diggs.

He was also like one of the top guys vs man coverage the past few years so that is a fit for what they are looking for as well. He is not just a slot, he lines up everywhere and has good size. He also catches everything. I think the fit makes sense.

I agree with defense being priority at 30.  I like what Burden offers after the catch.  I think that translates to having the ability to improve his route running.  I see him as potentially becoming a complete wr who can win at all levels of the field.   

I understand that point.  FWIW (and my opinion isn't worth much!), I would tend to avoid Burden just because he hasn't shown an ability to really run many routes - so many catches were short.  Now, as you said he may be able to improve that.

 

My main concern though is to try to fix the D.  I'd really like the draft to fall so that they can get 3 eventual good defensive starters with their first 3 picks - I think that is possible in this draft.  They NEED DT help desperately and really could use help at DE as well.  They also NEED help at CB.  I'm not opposed to drafting a WR if the value is there, but if they do that in round 1 or 2 it will almost certainly leave at least one gaping hole on the D at either DT, DE or CB.

I think it'd be a pretty good 4 picks. Hopefully we move those later picks upwards. Having the 1st pick in the 4th is nice.
