5. Morgan Burnett, 6-1, 209, Georgia Tech

Burnett jumps into the draft after a disappointing 2009 campaign where he racked up 86 tackles and four INT’s.  That’s a down year compared to his sophomore year where he snagged seven picks, co-leading the nation.  He grades out well in zone coverage, which could make him enticing to the Bears and Lovie’s Cover-2 scheme.  He’s projected as a 2nd rounder, so be on the lookout if he slides.
