Packers placing immense pressure on Oren Burks

Jaire Alexander and Josh Jackson were selected in the first two rounds to help buffer the team’s suspect secondary. Brian Gutekunst took three wide receivers to throw bodies at a position of need offensively, and casted a wide net by selecting a guard, two defensive linemen, a long snapper and a punter on day three of the draft.

Day two ended for the Packers when they traded up for Vanderbilt’s Oren Burks. The 23-year-old is physically imposing at 6-foot-3 and 233 pounds, yet is far more athletic than Jake Ryan. The Packers have needed an inside presence for their defense for far too long.
