00:00Luther Burden, by the way, who's going to go to the Bears.

00:02Now, he'll be their third receiver.

00:04Luther Burden, as we transfer back to the Bears,

00:06who we just talked about, they didn't have a third receiver.

00:08You were right with Keenan Allen's contract being up.

00:12People want to know, why did Luther Burden drop from Missouri

00:14out of the first round?

00:15Nothing off the field.

00:17I'm told it's football characters.

00:18Nothing new off the field.

00:19He's a good person.

00:20But interviews, I'm told, by multiple teams were not very good.

00:25When the ball's not in his hands,

00:27there's a question of how hard he works to get the football.

00:30He's great, dynamic, with the ball in his hands.

00:32It's called, what do you do without the ball when you're not getting it?

00:35Tape wasn't good in that area.

00:37To be honest with you, Mike, though I was surprised

00:40that he didn't go in the first round,

00:41talked to a couple of receiver coaches today, I understand.

00:44There's something about his game that was lacking.

00:46That's why he dropped.

00:47But this is a great value.

00:48By the way, Mike, great value to the Bears here for Luther Burden.

00:51The Bears did a lot of work on the offensive line through free agency.

00:55And in the draft, they now get Colston Loveland and Luther Burden

01:00to add to the room that contains D.J. Moore and Roman Dunsday.

01:05So you have to say the Bears might start to pivot towards defense

01:10at some point during this draft.

01:11They have another pick coming up in just a couple of picks.

01:14Let's see.
