One of my favorites in this draft as well, Major; considering what he's done and it being non-prolific passing attack at Arkansas, he should definitely have his name circled...

I wouldn’t say more pro-ready than Olave. Burks is essentially a taller AJ Brown… a slot receiver motioned around a lot. He doesn’t have a real diverse route tree lined up out wide.

But Burks is like Brown and DK Metcalf coming from Ole Miss in 2019, they actually have higher ceilings because their programs weren't as complex, deep...

And yet they still competed against the best of the best in the SEC, so they've faced high, future NFL competition that you can get a better gauge...

Yeah that’s a pretty good point. Burks has been tasked with doing everything, even used in a H-Back role, at the highest level and he’s still been incredibly productive. I wasn’t knocking Burks; just think he’ll take a little more development at the pro level.

Fun fact: Treylon Burks is a bonafide good ol’ boy who actually hunts wild hogs with just a knife.
