Dean reminds me alot of Burns...here is the NFL Draft evaluation of Burns and it's a few key points that can relate to what Dean's Pro/Con's are:

Premium athlete with long, angular build and preferred blend of size and speed. One of the top 60-meter hurdlers in college track and field. Wakes up every morning with natural ball skills to flip the field. Got hands on high number of targeted throws, including six interceptions this season despite playing in a cornerback rotation. Will bait quarterbacks into trap throws. Has soft hands and catch radius of a receiver when it is time to take the ball away. Possesses brash, ****y demeanor. Length and physicality from press can be extremely disruptive. Burst on the throw is NFL-worthy. When he’s dialed in, has talent to be impactful. Usually finishes when he makes contact as tackler. Tape isn't his best friend. Extremely raw and undisciplined. Leggy and grabby in routes. Flagged for four pass interference and two unsportsmanlike penalties. Upright in backpedal and plays with very little bend. High center of gravity prevents fluid change of direction. Coasts on athleticism and talent over proper technique. Turns motor off and on from game to game, and play can be lackadaisical. Would like to see him attack blockers rather than waiting for running back before disengaging. Tape is just average. Betting on the combine with him and he'll test off the charts.He's got the traits, but he's not ready yet.

From bama today
-- Four-star, junior college corner and Alabama commit Jhavonte Dean remains an Alabama commit, but it may not be for much longer. Alabama has been continuously evaluating the Blinn College (Texas) product, and may eventually choose to move in a different direction. Sources tell BOL that Miami, which has received the last eight Crystal Ball predictions, feels confident in its chances to reel in the South Florida native. Alabama fells good about their young defensive backs, commitments and targets, so this isn't a total surprise.

They're slightly different. Dean is better with change of direction than Burns. Burns has some physical attributes Dean doesn't.

Dean faster and appears to have better coverage skills,less grabby than burns but burns on the other hand is more developed and and can play more physical

Except with kickers. They have a history of slapping him around a bit.

Lol true, burns impressing in the NFL now man. He had 7tackles, 1tfl and only gave up 5 catches for 32 yards on Odell Beckham last week. He has the highest upside of any db that was picked this year. Glad to see he is progressing well.

Need this kid. I thought we were a long shot with this kid since he's a juco but bama board folks are saying he'll probably flip to us.

Dean is faster than and has better cover skills than the guy who just went in the first round. You really can't make this stuff up.
