Burfict: Second, Third, Or Fourth?

[CarolinaNCSU]

I'd take him in the 6th or later if nobody else the staff liked was worth selecting at the spot...but wouldn't expect much. Bring him in and tell him he's already got his warning, one screw up and he's playing in the Arena League.

[csx]

He isn't good, he's slow, and he's a headcase.

Why do people fall so hard for doctored Youtube videos?

[rayzor]

I liked this kid since last year.

To me, of he's there in the fourth, you got to take him. That's me though.

And I think someone will draft this kid before the 6th round.

i think someone will probably take him before then, but they'll be drafting a headache that they'll probably be kicking themselves over for a couple years. some team will probably benefit for a year...maybe two...but it will only be a matter of time before his bad habits and attitudes get the better of him and he becomes more a liability than anything.

I accidently choose 4th. I wouldn't draft him at all

[Montsta]

Considering round five and later are often just depth, ST, and guys that get cut after a few years of not being able to crack the starting lineup, I might take him at the 5th or 6th. Problem is 5th and 6th round linebackers can usually contribute on special teams until they crack the starting lineup due to injury, circumstance, etc., and I don't see Burfict doing any special teams work, so he's essentially a wasted roster spot on a prayer that he isn't completely useless, which is a long shot.

good point. he's going to have to be a guy that has to prove himself by playing whatever role his coaches ask him to play whether backup or on STs and i think that he's going to be someone who thinks that he's above that and won't play along. that's probably the mindset that most teams have of him as well and it's going to be up to him to prove otherwise. i just don't think he feels he needs to so he won't.

[Fiz]

He won't be drafted.

[Ken]

Undrafted sounds about right. Then who knows.

[Fiz]

He'll be able to choose the best situation for him and develop for a few years.

He was hurt at the combine but the dude needs to get his poo together.

He also doesn't know how to play the game apparently, just run fast and hit hard

[koolkatluke]

No way do I draft this kid. He's a slow LB with a whole lot of baggage.

fixed a little.

if he's a udfa then, yeah, he'll be able to choose the best situation for him.

it's going to be tough for him to overcome the damage he's done to himself. i just don't know that he's going to be willing to get his poo together or feels a need to. he seems like a guy who would think it's everyone else's fault they are seeing that or that they can't/won't accept him as he is.

[Floppin]

Even in the later rounds you're drafting for depth with the hopes of getting a sleeping starter. The odds that this kid makes it past all his question marks is very bad. I wouldn't waste even a late round pick on him.

[megadeth078]

After thinking about it again for a while, no, I still wouldn't want him.

same here. the more i consider it, the less i want him around.

there's people who are maybe not as talented but want it more than he does who will be available that i'd rather have wearing the blue and black.
