Oren Burks

Postby NY CAT » Mon Jul 23, 2018 11:36 am

What are your thoughts on him making a strong contribution to Packers defense?

Will he outright take Jake Ryan's job?

Everything I've read has positive comments about his versatility.

Is he worth a stash?

My linebackers are

Oren Burks
B.J. Goodson
Tyler Matakevich
Denzel Perryman
Anthony Walker
Kyzir White


Thanks in advance.

Worth a stash, has great athleticism and would give the Pack some much needed coverage from the LB spot. Also wouldn’t expect much this year, expect him to be the passing down LB next to Martinez

He’s a great stash in deep leagues. 12-team leagues with 60-70 players per team.

I don’t expect him to take Ryan’s job outright, no. He will play in coverage, maybe play 20-30 snaps per game this year?

I'm not sure Jake Ryan has a firm hold on this job at all. He played a lot down the stretch [after Josh Jones moved back to safety] but up to week 10 he had 220 defensive snaps in 2017.

The way I see the Packers is that someone has to miss out [Blake Martinez seems set of course].
If Burks wins a LB job then Josh Jones is playing safety.
If Jones wins that LB job Burks misses out and Kentrell Brice probably wins the safety job.
If Jake Ryan wins the LB job then Burks misses out and Josh Jones is back at safety.

There's no way everyone can have a good job here.

Bought him for $1 bid off the WW last week in one league and got him today with my #7 WW priority in another. :hifive:


Does this bump Burks up the rankings a slot or two?

Nabbed him in the 7th round a few weeks ago, probably couldn't do that now

I think Burks was drafted specifically to help move Jones back to S. Burks is a dime LB all day. After watching this ILB debacle for as long as they have been there, Jake Ryan is JAG. I am very excited to get Burks on the field as much as possible.

I wouldn't be terribly upset with Jones at LB, Brice at S but I like the combo of Burks/Jones better

Nice article. I hadn't seen this. Cool look at him.

This is a couple of years old but also excellent on Burks:
