Wasn't he one of Steve Smith's favorites too? I seem to remember that video though I wasn't a huge fan of the kid.

Yeah, Burks was definitely one of Steve Smith's favorites. He's a small slot receiver, but he's dynamic and electric with the ball in his hands, and he's not just some Tavon Austin; he's a great route runner as well.
I'm shocked that he's fallen so far.
AND HOLY FUCK. Some quarterback out of Rutgers selected by Washington before Nussmeier. He really is going to be possibly undrafted, isn't he?
Apparently, I went too deep and my day three imaginary draft board is littered with UDFAs.
Guess I'll add Tennessee DT Bryson Eason to the list.
I was actually referring to Daniel's and his injury history and size.
I thought that's who the poster was referring to as well.
Good choice. Really love Eason. Former linebacker who moved to NT, super athletic, but didn't post the best stats at Tennessee.Apparently, I went too deep and my day three imaginary draft board is littered with UDFAs.

I think he's well worth #232.
Wonder if the cyst on his spine is a bigger issue than was let on.
Probably is, but if he gets surgery for it (if he can; I don't know how a surgery like that would go) and it works out, that's a quarterback who was once considered a first-round pick.
EDIT: I wonder if the Bengals select him with all of the Joe Burrow rumors.
EDIT: Never mind, took a defensive tackle.
Still have Rivers and Burks for receivers. Still have Heidenreich for returns/running back/wide receiver. Still have Eason and Corleone as far as nose tackles. Still have Murdock if you want a linebacker.
Lots of interesting players left, and there will be plenty of interesting UDFAs as well.
Cade Klubnik seemed to have late helium and I've been curious if it's because of his workouts with Kurt Warner's son, E.J., and Kurt himself selling Klubnik of late based on his son's reporting. Kurt went on the Rich Eisen Show right before the draft to praise those workouts and his intelligence while also pimping his son.
I'm still a believer in Garret Nussmeier and his talent. The cyst near his spine obviously factored into his disappointing play last season as well as NFL teams' concerns in spending a draft pick on him. I feel very bad for him as it doesn't seem fair. Hopefully, he can latch onto a team willing to be patient and invest in him.
I have little doubt about Nussmeier's arm strength, especially when he's fully healthy. If it weren't for the cyst, he probably would have been the better prospect over Simpson IMO. I have no doubt that Nussmeier's performance and draft stock were severely affected by his medical condition. I'm pulling for him to make a full recovery health-wise as well as proving himself for the NFL game.

Ah, great minds…
Lotta contracts coming up at those positions.
I don't think he's a superior prospect to Simpson, but he would've definitely been first-round worthy, were it not for injuries sapping his arm strength. He doesn't have a rocket arm, but it's definitely around Purdy's, and he has mobility.
Really sucks for Nussmeier, and I'm rooting for him to succeed (unless, of course, he joins the Whiners or Hags).
