Gotta think somewhere out there, Jay Feaster is smiling.
Yep he did an incredible job drafting
He needed to go based on certain mistakes he made (O'Rielly) but I'll always be grateful for Feaster finally giving us a prospect pool to be excited about and proud of
Burke should be able to add to what we have significantly this draft with several picks in the first 3 rounds
