[QUOTE="tynimiller, post: 1058364, member: 6578"] Oh I already conceded Deguara pushes or leans to the failure side of things primarily because he never turned into anything elsewhere. If you tell me that a 3rd round pick has seen multiple contracts and contributed to those teams, that's not a failure IMO EVER. Again, though as I've admitted there is typically only about 10-30 prospects that I absolutely unequivocally expect to come in day 1 and be a starter...there is maybe an additional 15-40 a year that I would hold to the line of betting they ought to start in year 2 for a team....after that the variance year to year in a draft becomes immense and it really isn't fair in my opinion to have massive expectations for a guy with any sort of real confidence (that is the key). Sure we'd all love to say every 3rd rounder should absolutely be a starter for a team in their rookie deal...but I'd also love to say that a guy with a gut rather than a six pack is attractive - all the saying in the world doesn't make it so. LOL At worst I concede Burks might be a push, but that young man (actually he's not that young anymore relative to NFL terms) has when deployed in SF for two years and especially this last year in PHI has excelled and I'm talking defensively not teams. He's always been a blessing to have for teams play but that man was literally one of the best defenders on the field in the SB and had been multiple times in the season as well in 2024 for the Eagles. In truth, if I'm Gute and would like to potentially bolster my off ball LB corps Burks might be a decent target for a depth/potential athletic fill in guy...he'll be 30 by season, is a UFA and looking to compete no doubt again. I also could see the Eagles for all the losses especially in the trenches they might face, could resign him to a decent 2 or 3 year deal with really only one or two years of commitment. [/QUOTE]
