Isn't he retired from the Hill?

Vandy, smart, fast, played safety early on until he grew in to a linebacker.
Gutey musta really wanted Burks.
Officially, the terms of #Packers' trade with the #Panthers, which is GM Brian Gutekunst's third trade of the draft:#Packers get No. 88 (third round).#Panthers get No. 101 (first pick of the fourth round) and No. 147 (fifth round).

Unless he’s laying on the field with a broken collar bone. This belief you can find scrubs on day 3 to play OL is great until you end up with the current version of the Packers OL.
Huh, a 4th and a 5th? Seems a bit much. I know nothing of the guy either.
Was hoping it was going to be their second 4th...

Ah. More injury prone on day 3.
"Burks’ NFL prospects were an under-the-radar discussion until he opened scouts’ eyes in Indianapolis, running a 4.59-second 40-yard dash time and ripping off a 39.5 inch vertical leap at 233 pounds to stake his claim as one of the 2018 NFL Draft’s elite athletes. He’s clocked out as faster than nearly half the tailbacks testing at the Combine, including USC star Ronald Jones and SEC rival Kamryn Pettway. Only one wide receiver posted a better vertical leap."
Herschel is all sunshine and rainbows over this pick, so I'm going to defer to him.
Deadrin Senat is my favorite name.....ever.

ILB who can run. I think he and Martinez will make a good pair in base and he can wear the receiver. He ran Vandy's defense and is a "leadership" guy to boot.

And who needs weapons on offense.
What are we doing? We need a Long Snapper!
"Oren Burks is that intelligent player Pettine needs to run his defense. He'll probably be a dime ILB. Used to play safety. 4.59 speed."

Ath-A-lete.

Got enough cerebral guys...wait, he's that too.

Bak, tj lang, linsley, sitton, all day 3.
Right now this Burks smells like Thornton. Giving away a 4th and 5th to select a guy projected to go in the 4th or 5th when you own 6 picks in the 4th and 5th?
This ones gonna take a while to pass the stink test.
Obviously NFL network knows nothing about burk. Have they said a word?
I said he smelled like bud light. But I'm just an observer.
Wouldn't he have been there at the first pick in round four?

They read the pick, and then started talking about the Rams offseason additions. They've said nothing about him at all.

If there's no rocks he didn't pick the jock, or something.
I almost spent $50,000 a year sending my daughter to Vandy.
He's worth it.
Look, I know politics didn't make the cut for my Top 5 list of NFL Draft Viewing Party rules, but let's use common sense and not poke the bare.
I reserve the right to warm up to this pick... but I'm unimpressed at the moment.

Besides being a decent football player he has those intangibles I get all woozy for? I'll take it.
