For what seems like the 10th year in a row, the Green Bay Packers draft was focused on the defensive side of the ball. But there was one selection, in particular, that filled a need that has been around for years.
And that pick was the selection of inside linebacker Oren Burks of Vanderbilt. Certainly, Blake Martinez has been a nice find at inside linebacker, and he hasn’t been bad in nickel and dime situations. But he is far from perfect.
Martinez just isn’t quite quick enough to handle tight ends and running backs all day. He will have to at some points, there is no doubt about that.
