Looking back at that draft (2015) what a hot mess at WR that was. First 2 rounds (top 9 WRs) were not good except Amari Cooper. And yes I'm saying Parker sucked too. What a disaster of a pick that was for MIA.Biggest bust since Kevin White.Eligible to come off IR and neither reporters nor coaches mentioned it this week

Looking back on his college play I thought he was going to be a stud. I don’t think I had him ever, but if I did, it was brief. This old man has mental lapses.Was it his 700 yards and 1 TD in 3 years? Ha haEligible to come off IR and neither reporters nor coaches mentioned it this week

If Burks comes back off IR, he has a chance to surpass John Ross’ receiving numbers this year.

He was at least good though until, you know...
So, hard to call him a bust on the field.

I raise you a N’Keal Harry. 2nd WR off the board in 2019 taken ahead of Deebo, AJ Brown and Terry McLaurin. That was my first ever rookie draft in a dynasty league and I had the 1.02. Thank goodness the person Infront of me took Harry and took that decision out of my hands leaving me with Josh Jacobs.

Tyrone Calico, Kenny Britt, Treylon Burks…I fell for each of them…

I fell for Treylon as a rookie. I'm afraid his WR78 finish is going to be his best of his career.

There were plenty of warning signs with Burks pre draft. I paid attention.

His size is what drew me in. He's a monster!

Same, got him for a deal after he didn’t do much initially…but have not had good luck with Titan receivers.

I also thought he could be a DK Metcalf type.

Post steroid use, right? The early Boston was a good NFL player. Then he blew up and and tore his knee and it was over in the blink of an eye.

Ah, good comparison. Burks reminded me of Michael Westbrook. I had high hopes for both.

Treylon Burks is feared to have broken his collarbone.

Oof, death nail for this guy; given his production in the NFL.

Just never had much of a chance to get any traction. Not sure it would have resulted in anything significant, but feel bad for the guy as he just cannot seem to stay healthy.

No one should be shocked.

Man, 18th overall pick?
What a disappointment. I remember trying to buy-low on him a few years ago and being told he was untouchable.
Wonder how that manager is doing these days, let’s take a - oh, he just dropped him.

Watch what Waldman said about Burks (start around 34:53) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sz74zZSxQM&ab_channel=DynastyLeagueFootball
I posted this before. I believe on page 1 or 2.

great link.
I had never seen Waldman before this. Been reading and listening for many years.
Yeah. Idk how the salary works with an injury settlement I figure he's paid by the Titans so a team could offer him the minimum. Idk.
But...I'm afraid he's going to boomerang back to the team

This guy was supposed to replace AJ Brown. Ooooooooof.

Swing and a miss!
He's being blamed as the catalyst for a championship team falling to the worst team. That's too much but it's not but it is but...what a terrible landing spot for him.
He's worked out with Julio and Nuk and Ocho and Ridley and maybe Fitz I forget. He couldn't be more well trained or coached or whatever word- mentored?
Huge bust but some GM will some day sign him to see if a fresh start helps. He's too much a prototype and we've seen it many times. Elite athletes stick around with more n more tryouts

The year he came out, I was in need of WR badly with deeeep rosters. I drafted him in the 1st round I believe. I IMMEDIATELY knew I blew the pick when dude showed up out of shape, was barfing on the field, and was constantly dinged. Like every time this guy touched the field, he hurt himself some how. I don't understand how a physical specimen that he was is ALWAYS hurt. Didn't he also have headaches or migraines starting off? Zero toughness!

Definitely a blown pick, but the NFL landscape is littered with highly drafted WRs who absolutely busted. Kevin White of the Bears is just one other example.
It's a tough position for even the best NFL scouts to gauge after watching guys dominate on tape in college against weaker opponents - the precision required at the position often can't translate to the big stage.
