Draft a safety with really only one year as a starter for his team and one INT over his four year career. Mind you he only really played a great deal this past season. Outside of his 40 time I barely even noticed him on the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Just now, RpMc said: In the scenario you've put out there, Evans would take Abdullah's spot on the roster - keeping us at the four RB's we had last year, and Coleman doesn't HAVE to make the team - he was just insurance and worth it for a sixth round pick. I'm not locked in on Evans, but was leaning that direction given his ability to impact the backfield, receiving game, and return game. What says he is a good receiver? Return game maybe but they did just resign Abdullah this offseason. If one is going for a back you have two big time backs, maybe even four there but again that would be a shock to be a RB here honestly. Later rounds as a filler sure but do what you wish.

RpMc Posted April 8, 2020 Author Share Posted April 8, 2020 Just doing some snooping on Burgess as I've seen him play, but hadn't researched his background - teammates speak glowingly of him - Fotu said he was the best player on the defense, and Jaylon Johnson said he's the smartest dude he's been around - only 8 missed tackles in 800 snaps last year is near tops for a safety.

Watching him play says he's a good receiver? The fact that he spent time in both the RB/WR meeting rooms shows he's practiced the craft, and Abdullah was signed to a minimum salary benefit deal.

Im a fan. But I’m also a big Darrell Taylor fan as he has that explosive first step and a big toolbox for zim and Patterson to work with. I think it comes down to those two. that said, I also like JR reed from Georgia as a safety later on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it comes down to those two. that said, I also like JR reed from Georgia as a safety later on Julian Blackmon has more player experience, better ball skills, more consistent production for a longer period of time and is better in coverage. Look at the difference in stats alone, much less the fact a year before now I doubt anyone knew who Burgess even was as a prospect. Much less almost non existent as SOPH or FR.

Decided on Burgess after researching the background in addition to the cut ups I watched (doesn't hurt that he's relatively well regarded on the aggregate board too) - there's a group of three edge guys that I like, and if they start to go I'll make a play for one.
