Burden vs Egbuka

[Proof]

Yea I'm a teen. Will that get you to shut up and stop responding to me?

Naw just view you accordingly. You really gotta work on this talking tough nonsense homie. I know you take your internet rep seriously, but you'd get hurt in the real world lol. Anyway, stop responding to me (and saying dumb things) and you won't have to worry about me noticing and responding.

I thought so. Keep glazing this teenager. I promise I'll never respond to another worthless post of yours but I'm sure you'll find your way quoting the teenager in the future

You thought so what? You a weird lil guy. Anyway, yeah not responding to me is a much easier thing to control for you. Good stuff.

Everybody has compared their tapes. The other 2 are 1st round picks.

"Everyone" overrated other receivers over last year's Xavier Worthy (whom the Chiefs took with the last pick in the 1st round). The Chiefs have proved this season they knew better than all the "everyone" idiots.

Same thing is going to happen again this year. Just wait and see. I wouldn't trust "everyone" anymore if I were you.

Egbuka catches everything he gets his hands on, good in traffic, and will do the dirty work in the run game. Not the fastest guy - but fast enough. I’d love to ‘settle’ for THIS.

Every WR taken ahead of Worthy has more yards than him

Yes, but only 1 has more TDs. The issue is those other receivers taken earlier in the 1st round (Marvin Harrison Jr, Malik Nabers, Rome Odunze) are being used as WR1s, while Xavier Worthy is used more as a WR2. Even then he's just as effective and a bigger threat to take it to the house on any given play. Big contributer to the best team in the NFL.

He's safe pick. Cowboys need to play it safe.

I see that Burden has 600 receiving yards this season so I guess his fans will blame his quarterback. Please someone explain to me why you would draft him in the top 15. I will listen not criticize. He is 5’11 weight is 208lbs. So he must be fast. Please tell me why he is better then Turpin, Cooks, Tolbert, and Mingo.

He’s a more explosive and twitchy player than any WR on our roster (including Lamb) and will arguably be the best YAC player on the roster year 1. Has the ability to win on all 3 levels and is a finisher with a 1200+ yard season in the SEC.

Ok. See that is a good point. Twitchy is important talent. I can imagine him and Turpin on the field together. You have peaked my interest.

You do realize that most of drafting is about fit right? Getting thrust into a situation with the best Coach/QB in the NFL is going to be great for almost any WR. Andy Reid has made a career out of running great offenses with subpar talent at WR.

And I'm not saying Worthy is a subpar talent, his speed obviously makes him a great threat. But could you imagine Worthy in a Mike McCarthy offense where he's running 7 yard curls most of the time? He'd be a MUCH less useful player here. Same with if Nabers/Odunze/Harrison JR were on the Chiefs, their #'s would look much different. Do you think Worthy would be having a good year on the Giants or Bears?

Coaching and fit almost matters more than anything, we've been seeing it with QB's who written off for dead because they were in bad spots but are now thriving.

We have had the same "fit" (aka...no speed, no quickness, no burst, no speed, no deep threat and no playmaking ability at all levels) type of WRs in Dallas for years/decades, and where has it got us?

I don’t think your reading comprehension level is where it should be sir. That response has literally nothing to do with what I said.

I really do hate this time of year when people from the main board leak into the draftzone. Eliminates any possibility of rational conversation

I read and understood exactly what you wrote and meant, sir. You're just not smart enough to understand what I was getting at.

The selling point for Burden is mostly positional demand. IMO, he is not as good of a WR prospect as say Derrick Harmon and Kenneth Grant are as DT prospects. But the NFL's 20th best WR gets paid the same as the NFL's 10th best DT, so he doesn't have to be as good to deserve a high pick.

On his own merits, he is one of the few receivers in this class who has plus NFL athletic tools, especially if you have a pick outside the top half-dozen and can't get your hands on Tet or Travis Hunter. IMO, it's him, Isiah Bond, the Savion Williams ball of clay, and a big drop-off after that.

Burden is a Randall Cobb type of athlete stuck in a bad situation, and the bet on him is that he's capable of bigger things once he gets to the pros and finds his Aaron Rodgers.
