Luther Burden III

Barrett is betting on Burden’s outstanding rookie efficiency and run-after-catch talent, with Ben Johnson’s slot-heavy offense creating a setup he believes is ideal for a Year 2 breakout.

Cummings is buying Burden's strong underlying efficiency and the targets left behind by departed Chicago weapons, with his injury discount making the draft price even more attractive.

Vetri believes Burden's quiet rookie season hid elite efficiency, pointing to his late-season WR1-level production, strong yards-per-route numbers and increased opportunity after DJ Moore's departure.
