Going into draft weekend, Treylon Burks was one of the players I was most infatuated by, and I was hopeful the Titans would find a way to get him to Tennessee.
Unfortunately, the way they went about getting Burks in the two-tone blue was disastrous, and that trade has to play a role in this grade.
On one end of the spectrum, A.J. Brown just had arguably the greatest season by a wide receiver in Eagles history.
On the other end, the guy the Titans drafted with one of the picks they got for Brown spent about half of the season injured. The Arkansas product only played in nine full contests, along with two others that he left prematurely.
In total, Burks only played in 11 games, catching 33 passes, for 444 yards, and two touchdowns (one receiving, one fumble recovery).
Despite all the adversity, the Titans’ young receiver showed plenty of flashes of a potential star on the horizon. There’s a legitimate chance that this trade ends up being mutually beneficial for both parties as the years pass.
But as of the 2022 season, it looks like a lost trade so far, and that unfortunately clouds the excitement of what Burks could become because people will always wonder what could’ve/should’ve been.
Truthfully, it’s completely unfair to even compare a rookie to a bona fide superstar, but the Titans chose that inevitable fate for the foreseeable future the second they traded Brown away.
For that reason, I can’t give Burks more than an average grade, but I fully expect much better years in the near future.
Grade: C
