Packers select Morgan Burnett
Morgan Burnett was selected by Green Bay in the third round of the NFL draft on Friday.
Burnett, a safety from Georgia Tech, was chosen 71st overall. The Packers traded up to slip in front of Buffalo, now led by the man who recruited Burnett to Tech, Chan Gailey, to get him.
After an All-American sophomore season when Burnett intercepted seven passes, he picked off four more as a junior. He finished his career at Tech with 14 interceptions and 235 tackles.
Charles Davis of the NFL Network said in January that Burnett’s size (6-1, 210 pounds) and ability to play safety or cornerback would enhance his appeal to NFL teams.
A native of College Park, Burnett was the third Georgia Tech player to be drafted, following Derrick Morgan going to Tennessee with the 16th pick and Demaryius Thomas to Denver with the 22nd pick.
He strained a hamstring just before the NFL Combine in Indianapolis in February and wasn’t able to work out for scouts. He recovered and seemed to impress scouts by running the 40 in 4.42 seconds a month later at Tech’s pro day. His time would have been the fastest for safeties at the combine.
Meanwhile, running back Jonathan Dwyer, at one time projected to be a first-round pick, hasn’t been selected. A toe injury sustained during the Orange Bowl hampered his training for the Combine, where he ran a relatively slow 40 time. But he bounced back at Tech’s pro day to run a 4.52, seven-thousandths faster than his time at the combine.

Dwyer’s draft issues are all about his poor combine performance. Prior to that performance, he was in the top 3 RB’s on almost every draft expert’s board. I think Jon will be a very productive NFL RB, but you cannot do poorly on the 40, cone drills, vertical jump, and weight reps, and expect to be a top 3 round pick. I’m still hoping that someone will realize what makes this guy special is his lower body strength, and that he will be very durable, but it looks like teams are spooked right now. Hopefully, he will at least end up on a good team with a good OL.

This is an absolute joke that Dwyer is still on the board – most of the RB’s taken ahead of him couldn’t hold his jock. I agree with whoever said it- his agent needs to really look into this and see if that BS report of a failed test at the combine had ANY IMPACT in him dropping so far. Don’t get me wrong- Spiller and Best should’ve gone ahead of him. But Gerhardt, Hardesty, McCluster, and of all people Ben Tate??? Are you kidding me? Someone is going to get a steal in the 4th round, that is, if he even gets picked then. Something is rotten in Denmark.

I’m not happy about it, but I can’t say that I am shocked that Dwyer hasn’t been picked. He just didn’t work out well. Now, we know it, and I’m sure SOME NFL team knows it, but Dwyer could easily be a star in the NFL. But, it comes down to who is willing to take the “risk” for him. This is major money we are talking about. Now, puppies, remind me how many UGAg players have been taken compared to GT players this year . . .

If the BS failed drug test story impacted Dwyer in the least bit he should be able to return to GT for his senior year. Or at the very least be paid a king’s ransome in a settlement with the NFL.

“Take the risk” with Dwyer? Are you kidding me GTPhenom? And for the record, he tested great except for his 40 time at the combine- which he improved dramatically on his pro day. He was singled out as one of the RB’s who looked the best in cone drills and making cuts carrying the rock- that is, the only drills at the combine that are remotely related to actually playing the game.
There has to be something we don’t know here. Wake up, AJC writers, and go figure out what on earth could have happened?
Also find it interesting that he was on everybody’s draft board behind Spiller and BEst, yet he somebhow got burnt to the bottom of Kiper’s board during the draft tonight. Something fishy here..

Dwyer messed things up himself. He should’ve followed Bay Bay’s path and skipped running at the combine. Hard to get past a bad first impression…. Some team will get a bargain when they pick him. Dorsey Levens comes to mind.

April 23rd, 2010
10:53 pm
I said it, a female GT fan, that something is not quite right here and the anchors on NFL.com didn’t even mention Dwyer’s name tonight at all as if he doesn’t exist. If you google Dwyer and mock drafts, they all had Dwyer in the top 15 first round at least. Now, noone is mentioning his name? Doesn’t matter if a slower performance in the combine caused some of it due to the toe injury, something is not quite right. SO, once again, that erroneous drug test failure cr@p has to be part of this and I would be filing a lawsuit on somebody (media, NFL, doctor and whoever else is responsible for allowing that report to come out in error)..This has cost Dwyer millions. Even if you have never seen Dwyer play a down, go look at the footage on Youtube.com, he is amazing.
You AJC writers should be all over this…Bradley, Schultz, Roberson and the rest of you. It is unacceptable and I am close to saying Shame on the AJC as well. Dwyer deserves better than this.

I think Spiller will be a player in the league but I also think Dwyer is getting the shaft here.. No mention of his name at all during the draft tonight, either, which is a bit strange considering all of the pre-draft hype.

Lets face it
He showed up for the biggest couple of days in his football life with a sagging belly….ran a slow time…and had a poor lifting performance. If you are a 230+ pound power back and do less reps on the bench than the wideouts that is a problem…and it is not your toe’s fault. If you cannot run…stop eating…do a million sit-ups a day….and do not run the forty until your pro day.
JD is a super nice young man and a great back…but someone did not speak the necessary nasty truths to him the past few months and it cost him tons of money. BayBay goes out there and plays it right…and he gets mid-first round money as the first WR taken…and all from a run-first offense. First Calvin…then BayBay…next will be Stephen Hill.

Let me clear, I don’t give a damn where Tech players get drafted or if they even get drafted at all. I want to win games…..and CPJ and his sytem win games. Period.
You Georgia fans are a joke. You laugh at Tech’s Triple Option and say “it’ll never work because you have to have a strong passing game with a proto-type QB ad excellent receivers at this level of college football. Run a REAL offense.” And then when Tech did run basically the same “real” pro-style offense as everyone else you said “why would any top QB or receiver go to Tech when they can go to Georgia or another SEC school. You’ll never get the talent to compete.” So which is it??? Should Tech run a prostyle offense that we could never gt the athletes for to be successful or should Tech run a high school offense that has no chance of producing NFL talent?
Again, I don’t care what Tech does….as long as it wins games.

Something is costing Dwyer a lot of money, but he’ll get his chance to prove himself. My guess is, the fact that he has no pass receiving history is hurting his stock. The NFL is funny. High rounders turn into flops (see Ryan Leaf, Tony Mandarich, etc.) and low rounders sometimes turn into All-Pro’s. See Dorsey Levins, Terrell Davis, Joe Montana, etc., etc.

I, too, don’t really give a rip about draft positions. All it means is the FIRST round of NFL money. If Dwyer gets in and makes it big, he’ll be rewarded big time when free agent time comes. If not, he is still a great kid, a great Tech RB…and that ain’t small potatoes.

JDwyer has found out what so many before him have learned. He isn’t going to be drafter high, and he left as a Junior, so two bad things have happened so far. However, if he puts his ego aside for a little while, he’ll notice that a lot of running backs haven’t been drafted so far, and if he get’s drafted, he will already have his humility. He should be a step ahead of some of the players picked earlier, that he will have to earn a spot on the roster, and maybe actually make a team. Tashard Choice went this route to Dallas, and now he’s an integral part of the team.

Yeah, something is up, being played as if its not news or old news, but I hadn’t heard anything about JD dropping and obviously others had not either. I kept expecting to see him show up on Mel’s best 10 available list, but knew something was up when I saw MB come up before him. Really, really wish there was some sort of news being reported – unless the ADD medication story has more to it. On the surface, that looks benign and perhaps explains a bit about his condition at the combine. Would be enough to scare off some for a whole round, maybe, but by top of the third and his name isn’t even being mentioned? Something is up.

Some of you are just not paying attention to everything leading up to the draft.
This is simply a poor combine showing…very poor…and combines can hurt more than help. It has zip to do with the NFL screwing up and putting him on the failed drug test list when they already knew prior that he takes an approved presecription med (since childhood).
If had stayed another year it would have helped him only if he came to the combine in shape…he already proved what he could do on the field…as did Derrick Morgan, BayBay Thomas, and Morgan Burnett…all successfully coming out early. Matter of fact, Morgan Burnett improved his stock over the past three months…as did BayBay Thomas who ultimately became the #1 WR taken.
He showed up for the biggest couple of days in his football life with a sagging belly….ran a slow time…and had a poor lifting performance. If you are a 230+ pound power back and do less reps on the bench than the wideouts that is a problem…and it is not your toe’s fault. If you cannot run…stop eating…do a million sit-ups a day….and do not run the forty until your pro day.

hiveredtech, you must be joking. I’ve been paying plenty of attention pre-draft and JD’s combine showing was said to have cost him in that he wouldn’t be GOING IN THE FIRST ROUND. No one, I mean no one, had him going any later than late 2nd round. He was also the 3rd or 4th best RB mentioned by all analysts pre-draft. So I’m not sure what you’ve been listening to that all of us haven’t. Its obvious he is getting shafted here.

You know, the only drill that even remotely relates to actually playing the game? Funny we had never heard about JD’s work ethic while he was here in Atlanta for 3 years. Interesting that just pops up now out of the blue

Good luck getting any blue chip running back prospects now Tech fans. Don’t think this won’t be used against you on the recruiting trail. A 1,000+ yard rusher and he’s still on the board? Embarrassing.
Personally I always thought Dwyer was overrated. He never did anything against a top level team and padded the stats against ACC creampuffs.

There may be a lot to what hiver is saying. Don’t you guys remember last summer, when Dwyer showed up overweight and out of condition for preseason training? And his first few games of the year, though attributed to an ankle injury (I believe) were certainly not comparable to the previous season. I’m not saying that he does have a work ethic problem, but it is certainly possible that he does.

Dwyer came out of High School 6′ and 200 lbs. running a 4.4 at least that is what was listed on his bio. He looked fast to me in game film and that’s all I need to see. He runs well in pads and that is more important then running well in shorts. He has been in college for 3 years at his still growing into his body, obviously with some struggles. He’s what 21 years old and people are worried about his weight? I would hope that an NFL Teams trainer/s would be able to help Dwyer reach and maintain his full physical potential. I believe Dwyer would will willing and able to put in the work to do this. If the Falcons haven’t picked yet and have a pick in the fourth round and JD is available I want the Falcons to take him. Dimitroff said he would be adding stuff on both sides of the ball to give Matt Ryan more weapons. An OG from Alabama is not what I call an offensive weapon. Neither are the 2 other Defensive players he drafted. What offensive weapons that can help Matt Ryan exist past round 3? Hard to believe but I know of one and that is JD.

Facts (things that make you go hummmmmmm):
1. Curran was uga’s most valuable player last year. He was known as the “tackling machine.”
2. Curran was the SEC’s player with the most tackles last year.
3. Curran was taken during the supplemental draft after 3rd round.
4. Three GA Tech players were taken ahead of Curran.
5. UGA regularly has top 10 recruiting classes. GA Tech’s recruiting classes are usually top 50.
So, what do these facts lead YOU to conclude? Which school coaches will coach players up? Which school coaches players down?

Hi, I’m a Tech grad of ‘73. I didn’t realize Burnett had so many interceptions. I knew he was good. We had a guy who lead the nation one year in interceptions when I was at Tech named Jeff Ford, a white guy from Satlllite Beach, FL. I suspect what might be going on with Dwyer is a conspiracy against Tech. All the NFL teams probably heard of Dwyer’s playing tricks on teammates such as filling their shoes with shaving cream. Nesbitt, Dwyer’s roommate, was quoted as saying “He’s gonna get his” during last season. That was proven around mid-season last year, around the time the article appeared quoting Nesbitt, when Nesbitt quit handing off to Dwyer and keept it for runs almost every time he got the ball from the center. Perhaps NFL teams want this to happen to Tech again next year, in some sort of competition with Tech.

51 carries 123 yards 2.4 ypc. I would expect more out of a FIRST ROUND PICK (12th overall)
Correl Buckhalter was much more productive. In half the carries, he had 624 yards & a 5.5 ypc.

Dwyer has had ADD and taken medication for it for years. HE HAS NO DRUG PROBLEM!!!

groundhog, I hate to disappoint you, bubba, but Tech is still loaded at running back, and where Dwyer goes in the draft won’t affect in the least the attraction of Tech to quality running backs. Tech has had some pretty damn good rb’s for the last decade; Dwyer wasn’t the first. None of them have gone particularly high in the draft, but that sure didn’t keep us from getting replacements when they left. It won’t now either

Its not that weird for a punter to go over a RB in the 5th round. At this point teams are really just filling holes in their depth chart. Not alot of teams need RBs which is why only 8 have been taken in the draft. Its still weird for Dwyer to have slipped this far though.

I am a UGA fan, but it is pretty pathetic that “fans” from both schools are bashing 20 something year old kids for where they are chosen in the NFL draft. I can say this, both Rennie Curran and Jonathan Dwyer are going to make an impact in the NFL. For you Tech fans complaining about UGA fans spreading lies, look at what Tech fans are saying about Rennie, it works both ways. Maybe if you guys could keep your troll fans off the UGA blogs, we could try to keep our troll fans off your blogs. I don’t mind the good natured ribbing because it is to be expected in the “good oldfashioned hate” rivalry, but bashing the young men is childish and beneath both schools.

The real lie about Dwyer is that he is a big time running back. Look at the stats Tech fans. Just pull your heads out of your azzes for two seconds and look at the game by game stats. The guy did absolutely jack squat against any legitimate opponent. His biggest game last year was against Wake freaking Forest, with Vandy coming in a close second. He padded the stats with all the creampuffs on your laughable schedule. You idiots were talking Heisman about this guy in the Fall and look at you now. Crying like a bunch of panty wastes. Pathetic.
Tech fans are always so entitled. One decent season in 18 freaking years and they DEMAND your respect. Its just an injustice that nobody will pick Dwyer. Its so unfair. Cry babies cry. Its probably Georgia’s fault, right Tech fans? We’re the reason you haven’t won a bowl game in 5 years. We’re the reason you haven’t won a major bowl game since the 50’s. We’re the reason Dwyer was overrated and the NFL isn’t impressed with his stats against Duke. If its not our fault its someone elses. Its never Tech’s fault. Noooo, of course not. Tech fans take credit for everything but take responsibility for nothing. You are an embarassment.
