From the episode

Let's take Luther burden with the top 50 or 60 pick. But what's ended up happening is this dude, Kalief Raymond. Luther burden was the top target getter. He had the most designed plays when the quarterback is getting the ball out in two seconds. But you have to think that somebody who's got a low a dot and lots of speed is also going to be a candidate to get a lot of those short targets. Not Roma doon say, right. Not Colson, Loveland, Kalief Raymond.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Burden's top-60 preseason hype miscast; Raymond now primary target in Bears offense.

Richard and sources indicated preseason that Luther Burden would be a primary target in the Bears offense, leading to him being drafted around the top 50-60 picks. However, the offense has not played out that way. Burden was miscast in his role. Richard notes that when Case Keenum played (quick-release quarterback), Burden was the top target getter with the most designed plays, but Kalief Raymond has now taken over as the primary target. The preseason narrative was incorrect.
