There are , but undoubtedly some players will go higher or lower than they are projected.One of those players could be Arkansas wide receiver Treylon Burks.By all appearances on game film, Burks looks like an ideal pick for the Jets at the top of the second round, if he lasts that long. Burks lines up all over the field. He lines up at tight end, in the backfield and out wide. There is no question, Burks could factor nicely into offensive coordinator Kris Letang Jersey Mike LaFluers bag-of-tricks.Burks would be an ideal type of receiver for quarterback Zach Wilson too, because he is a big target with a wide catch radius (short and deep) who can help compensate for Wilsons pa ses being all over the place.Pro Football Focus currently has Burks projected to go 28th overall in the first round, which is Erik Gudbranson Jersey not far from where the Jets will be selecting early in the second with the 35th and 38th picks.Another po sibility is New York packages both those two second-rounders and moves back up in the latter part of the first round to get Burks.If New York loses wide receiver Jamison Crowder in free agency, it becomes even more of a po sibility.READ: Burks is not a shoe-in first-rounder because he does not change direction all that well, he is not a burner and he lacks that coveted burst to the ball.The thing that has driven Burks back into the first-round discu sion, however, is he is one heck of a deep threat. Burks offers shades of Randy Mo s the way he can go up and get it on the long ball.Scroll to ContinueHaving the ability to pick up yardage after snagging short Ryan Getzlaf Jersey pa ses and the having ability to make plays deep is the name of the game.Burks looked the part against Alabama too, which is another indicator of his pro potential. Alabama is a great NFL warm-up. Burks had 8 receptions for 179 yards and two touchdowns against Nick Sabans team.Level of competition is something scouts pay attention to, as prospects will be competing at the highest level in the NFL.Burks is not a one-year wonder either, as he was productive in 2020 (51 catches, 820 yards ( Chris Kunitz Jersey 16.1 avg.), seven touchdowns. Showing consistent production in consecutive seasons plays another role in the evaluation proce s. It is another feather in Burks' cap.#16 Treylon Burks 6-foot-3, 225 pounds40-yard dash time: 4.5 (walterfootball.com)2021 game film reviewed: Alabama, Auburn, Texas A&M and Ole Mi s2021 stats: 66 catches, 1,104 yards (16.7 avg.), 11 touchdownsGrade: Late First Round-Early Second RoundNFL comparables: Al Toon, Michael Westbrook, Cordarrelle PattersonScouting Report:The Jets dont just need receivers, they need Lars Eller Jersey receivers who fit their system and those who are most complimentary to Wilsons strengths and his weakne ses.Burks fits.MORE:
