    We got the 5th CB in the draft. Yippie.

    I'm thinking we should have traded down. But at least we went corner. That should make those fans happy.

    Can't believe we didn't trade down, certainly Denver must have asked...

    Ugh, he's not a very good player at all. That felt like a huge panic move after the bengals stole Jackson. Disappointing for sure. It may be a while before he sees the field. Yuck.

    Wow just wow! There's a reach bigger than I expected. There's no way he sees the field this year!

    My god.... We could have taken that deal Seattle got instead of reaching. I'm not saying I dislike Burns, but he's raw. Not much chance of help in 2016 IMO.

    I don't think burns is a reach but I just don't like the pick. He was the one CB I was nervous about as I had seen him mocked to us.

    Small, "raw", questionable tackler who was a 2nd team ACC CB? Lets hope the coaches saw something I (we) don't.

    Good to hear the anylists call the pick a "project" for Tomlin.
    Should have moved up ahead of Begnals and took care of business.

    Welp, our organization seemed like they couldn't get to the podium fast enough. They must've wanted Burns pretty badly. I'll take that as a positive.

    Any snowball's chance we could trade up for Billings?

    Bungholes just ruined my night. Sigh.

    I'm not sure why you guys think burns can't start right away we started two cast offs that were cut off other teams as our starting corners last year.

    EXACTLY, why aren't we trading down with Denver. I usually support Colbert but he got schooled tonight IMO.

    Well there's a lot of DL depth, so hopefully they still get a quality guy...

    Youre a genius lol.

    Lets get this out the way. Artie Burns puts off the same vibe I get from AB. Extreme motivation. Someone whos very ego and sense of self will be defined by how successful he can be and how well he can take care off his family. And he can flat out ball. He may be small, but his other measurables are excellent and he makes some pretty jaw dropping reflexive plays.

    Man, if we were gonna reach I wish they had reached for Fuller. He's twice the player Burns is. With everything available I never expected to be this disappointed. Don't like this at all.
