Jones had one really good year at Purdue.  Burton was good at UGA and Bama with much deeper WR rooms and much heavier running games.

I hope Jones is excellent but I expect much more out of Burton.  

One thing that was a detriment to Jones is that he bounced around 3 teams - Buffalo, Iowa, and Purdue.
For why Jones went to Purdue, he said he believed Purdue was the place to best showcase his receiving abilities, despite having opportunities to transfer to Michigan, Notre Dame, or Auburn among others.

We'll have to see how both Jones and Burton pan out, but I liked what Jones did at Purdue.
He came in and hit the ground running in that offense.
If just one of Burton or Jones really comes on as a WR, the Bengals will have won.
Ideally though, Bengals hit on both (and/or Iosivas) because Higgins prolly isn't getting a long-term extension.
