Analysis (Taylor O’Neill): At 6’3 and 233 lbs, Burks has been labeled as a little bit of a tweener at linebacker. He played multiple positions while at Vanderbilt including safety. Accordingly, Burks’ best traits are his speed and his ability to drop back into coverage. He is adept at dropping back and blanketing tight ends or…
Analysis (Taylor O’Neill): Although the Green Bay Packers took Jaire Alexander in the first round, they must be ecstatic to see a player so often mocked to them at #14 available at #45 in the second round. Jackson doesn’t necessarily fit the traditional archetype that Mike Pettine has favored for his defenses in the past, but…

Currently, the Green Bay Packer roster is comprised of players from all across the country and many different football conferences. However, there is one conference that most current players on the roster come from: the Big Ten. 11 players from eight different teams in the conference are on the team, led by two from Iowa…
Unless the Green Bay Packers and newly minted GM Brian Gutekunst decide to move around via trades, the Packers first two picks in the 2018 NFL Draft will come at #14 and #45.
