What games did you watch that gave you that impression? The tape I watched showed a guy with traits who needs to develop more. Honestly, I watched he and D'Andre Walker back to back and they graded out similarly to me. The biggest difference I saw between those two players is Walker could be had at 59 or 89, where Burns may be gone by 26.
Miami and VA Tech. Not full games. Admittedly I knew those and the Wake Forrest game were his best.

He's not a top 5 or 10 pick. He is physically mid-development. If he'd had a great Combine at 238 lbs. I would not be interested. But he showed high-end athleticism with 20 brand new lbs. on his body. He has a nice spin move. He showed he uses his hands well. If he had the same skill set at 265 lbs. I think we'd be talking about a top 5 selection, and we'd have zero shot at him. As it is, I think he might have a special skill set and can reach that body weight near the start of the season.

There's a very good chance we still don't get a shot at him.
