A.J. Brown is the better comparison IMO.
Burks must be slow of the start? His top speed is there. Another question I have about him is if he can pick up the playbook. Arkansas’s offense wasn’t as precise as what we run and a lot of his yards were on gadget plays or scramble drills. I like bama’s preparation of wrs. Waddle and Devonta smith have both done well and others. I like jameson more than burks but burks size & top speed is intriguing.
#CFB's Top 5 Max Speeds from Ball Carriers: Week 3
Aidan Hutchinson, DE
Kayvon Thibodeaux, DE
George Karlaftis, DE
Travon Walker, DE
Jermaine Johnson, DE
Kyle Hamilton, S
Derek Stingley Jr., CB
Ahmad Gardner, CB
Charles Cross, OT
Ikem Ekwonu, OT
Evan Neal, OT
Drake London, WR
Garrett Wilson, WR
Jameson Williams, WR
Chris Olave, WR
Treylon Burks, WR
Devin Lloyd, LB
Devonte Wyatt, DT
Jordan Davis, DT
Tyler Linderbaum, OC
That's 20 players that are legit LOCKS. Now factor in other guys who COULD go in the first round.
Trent McDuffie, CB
Nakobe Dean, LB
Trevor Penning, OT
Bernhard Raimann, OT
David Ojabo, DE
Andrew Booth Jr, CB
Kaiir Elam, CB
Lewis Cine, S
Daxton Hill, S
Jaquan Brisker, S
Boye Mafe, DE
Travis Jones, DT
Kenyon Green, OG
Zion Johnson, OG
That's 14 players that have gotten 1st round buzz and wouldn't be surprising to see them go in the 1st round. And that's not including ANY QBs.
Malik Willis, QB
Kenny Pickett, QB
Sam Howell, QB
Desmond Ridder, QB
Matt Corral, QB
Two to three of those guys are going in the 1st round. [Reply]
Purdue’s pass rusher George Karlaftis, projected to be a top pick next month, ran as low as a 4.71 in the 40-yard dash in sub freezing temperatures at Purdue’s Pro Day today, per a scout in attendance.

Nah.
Epenesa ran a 5.04 for comparison.
Karlaftis is a MUCH better athlete. He might fall to the end of the 1st or early 2nd, but that’s it.
Honestly, he’s the perfect player to pair with Ojabo if they want to just double dip at DE in the 1st. You get your day 1 starter at SDE, and your future starter at WDE. [Reply]

I'd be thrilled.
Then I'd take two WR's in the second and JIMP. [Reply]

Every mock I see has Karlaftis going in the teens. He isn’t gonna be available.

I don't think he's bad... just a guy who ends up lower than initial draft projections. I'm thinking more into the 20s (when he started the draft process at the top 5-8 level).
I'll think he'll be a good NFL player and better than Epenesa. [Reply]
