The free-agent class is weak overall, but there's plenty of depth along the offensive line and on defense, especially edge and cornerback.

So much so, Chris Godwin could have left during free agency and made significantly more by joining the New England Patriots. "I mean, to be honest, I feel like we were really close (to leaving)," Godwin told Sara Walsh and Mike Garafolo on NFL Network's The Insiders.

Most NFL Draft evaluators have Burden as their No. 2 wide receiver. However, some have the former Missouri star lower in their rankings. He didn’t have massive numbers in 2024, recording 61 receptions for 676 receiving yards and six touchdowns, leading the Tigers in receptions and scores.
