Oren Burks
Outside linebacker
SCHOOL: VANDERBILT | CONFERENCE: SEC
HEIGHT/WEIGHT: 6-3 / 233 | 40: 4.59 | DRAFT YR:2018
Rankings
GRADE
3.60
PROJECTED ROUND
3rd
Bio:
Four-year starter who played a different positions in each of his final three seasons at Vanderbilt. Made 82 tackles (seven for loss) with one interception, one sack and three pass breakups as an inside linebacker in 2017. Posted 59 tackles (6.5 for loss), one interception, three sacks, one forced fumble and six PBUs as a junior while playing a hybrid linebacker/safety role. Played free safety in 2015 and led the team with three interceptions while recording 59 tackles, one forced fumble and six pass breakups. Started seven games as a redshirt freshman and made 37 tackles with a team-high seven PBUs.
Pos:
Athletic run-and-chase linebacker with an underrated game. Fluid, covers a lot of area on the field and shows speed laterally. Quickly gets out to the sidelines in pursuit, flies around the action and sells out to make tackles. Forceful upfield on the blitz, nicely redirects to the ball carrier and gives effort against the run. Leads by example and has shown consistent progress.
Neg:
Lacks great bulk and strength. Handled by blockers and engulfed at the point. Does not consistently bring ball carriers down at the point of contact. Occasionally misreads the action.
Analysis:
Formerly a defensive back, Burks nicely made the transition to linebacker and has shown continual improvement. He offers adequate size and growth potential and is a multi-scheme linebacker with potential as a three-down defender.

This draft has gone south in a hurry for me. They trade up for a guy I had rated as a 4th-5th round talent. The guy has awesome measurables, but he had some of the worst tackling skills at LB that I watched this year. He's also a WLB -- which isn't a high value position to me.

BRAD JONES>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> THIS PICK IS CURSED !!!!!!!!!!!

He did mention the 13 NFL Championships which Kramer forgot. So he did that right.

But where did they find him?

[pbmax]

I can't see him surviving at OLB in a 3-4, even a 3-4 hybrid. He has to play off the ball, doesn't he?

You stick him in there to replace Ryan and put some speed off the ball.

[beveaux1]

What did we trade for this pick?

[beveaux1]

I think he’s an ILB.

[Bretsky]

I DIDN"T REALLY WANT A PICK IN ROUND 3; THIS IS CURSED FOR GREEN BAY

Think of all the shit picks we made in round 3 over the past five years. We should just avoid the wrong.

When was our last good one ? I can think of Burnett...seems like we've drafted a whole lotta crap.

No Need IMO to trade up for that guy
