Morgan Burnett, S, Georgia Tech
Ht: 6’ 1 3/8” Wt: 209
EMQB’s analysis on the pick: Burnett was thought to be a prospect that could possibly sneak into the first-round, but his junior season was a disappointment. The Packers, again placing value over need, seem to have come away with a steal. Burnett could be another one of those Packer draft picks that unexpectedly start their rookie season.
Pro Football Weekly’s scouting report: Productive, ballhawking college “rover” back whose interception numbers (14 career picks in three years) oversell his coverage ability. Stock was higher after a productive sophomore season. Foot speed and range are ordinary and will be restrictive on the back end. Could require some patience and needs to become more disciplined but could develop into a starting underneath safety and would be best in the box manning short areas.
NFL projection: Third- to fourth-round pick.
Lindy’s Sports scouting report: Burnett’s final grade might be determined by his time in the 40-yard dash. NFL teams have plenty of options on draft day at safety, considering the influx of underclassmen, but don’t expect them to wait long to nab a natural playmaker like Burnett. A top 75 grade and quick ascension into an NFL lineup appears likely.
