Anyone remember this thread?I badly wanted to take the trade down offerand pick Xavier Howard.He’s on Miami.In his past 26 games Howard has 7 interceptions,and 20 passes defended and a pick 6 score. We also had an extra 3[SUP]rd[/SUP] and I would have selected safety Simmons.
At any rate Howard > Burns.
25. Pittsburgh Steelers: Artie Burns | Grade: D
In a mismatch of skillsets and scheme, the Steelers take Burns with the hope that they can develop his 6-footplus frame into a dependable player. The problem here, much like the Apple pickto the Giants, is that the Steelers played more zone coverage than any team inthe league last year and that’s where Burns hashis struggles. His +2.8 coverage grade ranked 42nd in the draft class, andthough he does show skills as a man coverage cornerback, but his overall gameremains raw. If Pittsburgh plans on altering their scheme to play more mancoverage, this pick makes more sense, but at this point, it’s an example of acornerback’s size and speed moving him up a draft board at the expense of hison-field play.

^^^ So Colbert picked a guy who isn't good at zone when we play zone more thanany other team? Burns is an athlete playing CB.He's neither smart nor instinctive. If he sees the ball coming his way, he'smuch better. Can he learn? We shall see. I have seen him play. -Coach in 2016

25. Artie Burns, CB, Miami C- Grade
The Steelers typically take highly ranked players who fall to them. Think AlvinDupree, David DeCastro and Jarvis Jones. I figured they'd be all over MylesJack, but they went with a different strategy this year - reaching for asecond-round prospect. Artie Burns is certainly asecond-round player. He has great athleticism and size, but he's pretty raw fora player. That's pretty much the definition of a second-round prospect; notsomeone worth grabbing at No. 25 overall. There were better players availablefor the Steelers, such as Kendall Fuller, Jarran Reed or Andrew Billings. Idon't like this pick at all.
^^^ I agree, he's more of a round two type of player - Coach

Pick Analysis: "Burns is a tall cornerbackand he has world-class speed. He's very raw. I know teams with a third-roundgrade on Burns and others that believe he couldend up the best corner in this draft." -- Mike Mayock
^^^ World class speed? Not on his forty yard dash time Mr. Mayock. So teams had a mid round grade on Burns. Yes he has upside. -Coach.
For more information, see my scoring report on Burns. Pretty arcuate I think.
