    #4 or 5....couldn't hurt to have a little vet leadership.

    Depends on the price

    I think we should be set at wr with out him. We are probably gonna draft one in the frist 3 rounds anyway, but I would not hate if he signs for vet min.

    He is about a C or C- WR. If you bring him in....or any other the others out there (Sidney Rice, Santonio Holme, Danario Alexander, Miles Austin, Austin Collie, Deion Branch etc.) you are probably saying Sayonara to Josh Cooper and Greg Little.

    Who can catch just about everything thrown his way....and usually get open in the seams.

    If we had a WR that combined Greg Little and all his other skills, and Josh Coopers mitts, we would have one hell of a WR.

    There is a strange board (several boards for that matter) fascination with Cooper. I don't see it. He is very average at best. He may have "great mitts" compared to Little but overall again very average. The number one reason he got a look by the Browns was Weeden. His best chance to keep getting a paycheck in the NFL is to head to Dallas.

    i like the veteran leadership angle but not at the cost of upgrading in the draft. i mean how deep does a team's WR corp have to be?

    I don't see a negative if we sign him. We would get him for next to nothing and we likely wouldn't have to guarantee much if anything. If he doesn't work out he gets cut.

    The fascination with him is that the motherfucker gets open and catches the ball...unlike a lot of guys we have had here (MoMass, Robiskie, Little etc.). He has that Brian Brennan, Wes Welker feel about him. The feel that, no, he is no superstar WR like a Gordon could be, but that he is highly functional and useful.

    One of Pettines mantras is that you must overpopulate as many positions as possible in order to create competition and make the 1st string players feel like someone is breathing down their necks waiting for their opportunity. So Burleson has little impact on the draft.

    63% completion rate, 17 catches, 166 yd, 0 TD, 1 drop.

    The one drop is generous, he dropped two in one game that PFF isn't counting.

    Real world beater right there.

    I agree some fans overvalue him because of a couple good catches.

    We haven't seen enough of him really, and we probably won't assuming we draft a guy behind Gordon, Hawkins, Draftee, Benjamin, Little.

    What the hell happened to Miles Austin. That would be a GREAT signing.

    I say yes. He's solid and he'd really just be here for veteran leadership. He'd be like Davone Bess, just without the crazy.

    When was he ever used as a red zone receiver? Like, never. And surest handed receivers are going to have a drop once in a while. As for completion rate.....look who he has had for a QB.

    Name me any receiver on this team that has surer hands.

    He just has not been used much...as someone said.

    The guy that taunted Cleveland by doing the Lebron chalk thing? Fuck him and that midget Maurice Jones Drew.

    It shows how shitty our receivers have been when the fans are excited for the likes of Josh Cooper.

    Guy is, at the best, a fifth WR.

    well if you're excited about burrelson or cooper, then there's something wrong with you.

    OK. All I am saying is that I think the guy is functional. Maybe Burlson is better, I don't know much about him.
