The Green Bay Packers came into 2018 with a solid starting defensive front seven. Blake Martinez has quickly ascended the inside linebacker ranks, Jake Ryan has been more than serviceable, the defensive line is stacked, and although the outside linebacker corps is thin, Clay Matthews and Nick Perry are nothing to sneeze at. Once Ryan went down in practice with an ACL tear, however, the depth of the was already being questioned.
Fortunately for the Packers, 2018 third round pick Oren Burks may be the answer.
