    I'll say it again, Feel the Burns!!! I just hope that ends up having a good meaning instead of a bad one. I have no idea how it will go.

    Welcome to Pittsburgh Burns. Upon arrival please let the coaches know that 10 yard cushions are not really your thing. You have most of the fans support in making that comment.

    A bad meaning like hearing it at an emergency clinic in Las Vegas?

    Burns is a baller. Put me on record as 100% thinking he will be a stud and 0% thinking he will be a bust.

    He has what I like in measurables. Now if he has the other skill elements, then we've got a winner.

    I like the pick. Burns is a big, fast and athletic corner.

    And everyone around here always tells me the Steelers coaches are infallible so you guys should trust them 100%.

    Haha.

    Well, Carnell Lake's coaching abilities will be on full display starting with camp. Burns and Goulston will be watched closely.

    Sweet then all other receivers in league can go to the clinic in Vegas for the case of the Burns...no known cure at this time.

    This is true. I am interested to know if Golson will play outside.

    Goldon Cockrell outside
    Gay slot
    Burns 4th corner

    I don't know everything there is to know about Burns, and I don't get too hung up on numbers, but I keep hearing how he's a superb athlete, and he's got world class speed but the numbers tell a different story. He ran a 4.46. That's not even above avg for a cb, let alone world class speed. And he's a track runner. His vert was 31.5 inches? There were DT's that jumped that high. He had a 10'4'' broad. Thats not exceptional either. Ramsey jumped a foot farther. He also jumped 10 inches higher than Burns. Obviously Ramsey went much higher but I'm not the one or ones talking about how athletic Burns is. My question is why are these people saying these things about Burns? Why the two different realities?

    A 4.46 40 is really good. Only 9 players ran sub 4.4 at the combine.

    .05-0.1 seconds over 40 yards is nothing.

    I think the lower vert is more troubling. That measures explosion and that is probably what hurts Artie's 40 time not getting off the blocks fast.

    ABII has a long stride. I have absolute confidence he can match damn near any receiver on a deep route.

    The more players with the initials AB the better.

    Where is Anthony Brown projected to go? He had a great combine and the right initials.

    AB + AB II + AB III = 7?

    It will be interesting to see how much of an effect focusing solely on football will have.

    Well, can't complain that we didn't pick a corner.

    Just an S and DT to go, and I'm happy with the draft.
