It's a 3rd rd pick,

If they hit on Rd 1-2 picks everything will be fine.

I believe in taking chances on guys like Burton in the late 3-4th rd range and Burton is a late 1st/early 2nd rd talent on the field. Off the field all he needs to do is growup. Can he growup? sure he can, will he who knows. Burton would probably be WR3-4 in this draft. Roll the dice on players like this and success is a 60-40 proposition. But when you hit like on a Tyreke Hill it can change the direction of a franchise. Well worth the risk IMHO.

Man that thing is too early in the process to claim one thing or another.

Best to let the civil authorities do their due diligence & not try this "thing" in the media.
