Jagger Burton Stands Out With Elite Agility Testing

  • Jagger Burton emerged as a recurring mid-round center/guard target because of elite short-shuttle testing.
  • Peacock highlighted Burton's sub-4.47 short shuttle as a Kyle Shanahan-attractive trait for interior OL.
INSIGHT

Receiver First Shifts The Board Dramatically

  • Taking a wide receiver at 27 (Omar Cooper Jr.) changes where you can address edge, tackle, and safety later in the board.
