It's interesting so many people view Morgan Burnett as the antithesis to Atari Bigby on here.

I'm not too familiar with college prospects, so I like to read a lot of what scouts are saying.

Especially in McGinn's scout notebook on Burnett, the consensus seems to be he is Atari Bigby 2.0. Things all scout say is he takes bad angles, goes for the big hit too many times, and is liable to struggle covering one on one. These are all gripes many people have on here with Bigby, too.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not as down on Bigby as many others are. I just thought it was interesting seeing two radically different views crop up. From a needs stand point, Burnett provides us with depth we DESPERATELY needed at Safety.

I like this pick:

1. Dreds (we are the team with the most long haired freaks and we must keep up the tradition).

2. We all saw what happens when one of our good safeties goes down and we try to replace them with some other peep not ready.

3. This guy is a ball hawk; not the best at run support but a ball hawk. And we know how int can lead to game changing wins.
it is said that a team with a +2 differential on the turnover ratio usually wins the game.

again weather he replaces bigby or not what we got is a guy whom can step in.

Dulak - I like your #3 a lot. As much as people love to make fun of Sharper, he has a place in the NFL. The Saints' D last year was in the bottom 50%, but when TSHTF, they always seemed to come up with a key takeaway. Takeaways turn games around.

#2 is very true too. We badly needed DB depth. Wish we addressed the CB position as well, but this guy's really needed.

From what I've read, I like this pick. Bonus for the hair.
