AOA is my pick
Allen
Positives: Above average size/speed ratio, shows great range and ball skills... Extremely good tackler who sheds blocks well in pursuit, very reliable in the box... Attacks the ball, is best when playing near the line of scrimmage... Very good intangibles, hard worker and has a high football IQ... Consistent player who doesn't seem to have an off game, career 216 tackles and 10 INTs... Will be a very good special teams player as well... Improved his stock his senior year more than any other safety... Was the most impressive safety prospect during Senior Bowl practices.
Negatives: Choppy backpedal... Relies on his speed too often, needs to take better angles to the ball... Can be beat by the more elusive running backs as the last line of defense... Can sometimes gets beat in coverage because he plays the run first.
Burnett
Positives: Has elite ballhawking skills, among the best in this draft, is able to clean jump routes to make a play (finished his career with 14 interceptions)... Good technique, footwork and hip movement, looks natural out of his breaks... Is always in position to make a play... Very instinctive, quickly recognizes run vs. pass plays... Is solid in man-to-man coverage, has played cornerback at times... Strong safety candidate, 235 career tackles, easily locates the ball, but could play either safety position... Very good combination of size and speed... Generally a reliable tackler, sheds blocks well... Does not make many mistakes, doesn't give up big plays... Should post good workout numbers, stock could rise in the post-season... Has a lot of upside, seems to get better with more experience and still has a lot of potential that can be developed.
Negatives: Though he reaches top speed quickly, doesn't have a second gear heading toward the sideline... Will take poor angles in pursuit and needs to rely on athleticism to recover... Can be out-muscled in the open field... Can play too high and will tackle with his shoulder, sometimes taking the worst of a hit... Inconsistent, will have a very impressive game, then a game where you hardly notice him... Did not match his sophomore production (seven picks) as a junior.
can't teach speed
have to Allen based on what I have read
but still rather have AOA
