2025 5th round pick is Denzel Burke CB

[BirdGangThing]

I'm not saying he will for sure just that apparently several NFL teams were considering him with that in mind. Apparently he has really bad technique for CB's, gambles too much and gets fooled easily on double moves. THe irony one of his biggest weaknesses in college was lack of INT's, only 4 in his career.

word im thinking special teams if anything

Without pulling flypoop out of the pepper, he is a good choice with a great chance to improve the roster overall. Proficient in the spotlight, on an island on huge college stage. Fast enough, smart enough, nasty enough - so he gambles a bit…. So do I!

With the Cards down a CB and considering they play a lot of zone, he has a real chance to make the roster. It’s enhanced by his usefulness on special teams.

He’s not good sadly.

Lot of bad players hang on for five years at Ohio State then?

Sure. Less opportunity to get exposed with a dominant defensive front.

It was easy to see that Burke was hot & Cold in college.
But if he was talentless he never would have made the roster at Ohio State.
This ain't New Mexico state we're talking about.

They don’t get pushed to the bench by superior prospects?

Lot of meh Ohio St corners in the NFL since Urban Meyer left so it’s hard to say. Now if we’re talking wideouts…

Making it to the NFL at all is a huge deal. This is a weird take.

Goal post moving mode today eh? I’m happy they made the league though, lol.

While I agree with you in both fact and premise...
I would bet there are more cornerbacks drafted into the NFL than any other position....the league seems to take the shotgun approach after the first couple rounds.

Yes but this is probably true across the NCAA also. Not sure what the point is.
