I'm all for getting a more athletic LB but I can't help but feel we could've gotten him without trading up. I'm all in the Okoronkwo bandwagoon but it's likely he's gone by the time we reach our compensatory pick.

I cant see us take a 4th defensive player in a row too...got to make a pick on offense at some point.

it's kinda hard to say that at this point. I think teams' (and draftnik's) boards diverge quite a bit towards the end of day 2 and into day 3 so it's hard to take any one source's order as the gospel from which few teams are deviating. 

Exactly this. He was at a point where the value was great for Green Bay, so the trade up was warranted. I'll have to familiarize myself with him because I don't really know much about him other than being a great athlete.

If you think you follow the draft and have never heard of Burks you're a goddamn poser.  This guy is one helluva ballplayer and blew the combine up.  Mayock had him at 79 and you whiners are calling him a bust?!?!?!  STFU

That is a very athletic trio thus far.

Kid is raw.  Sure athletic great but can he play.  Watched his tape against Alabama looked lost.  I'm taking a wait and see that's it.

Supposedly really smart and quick so ....guess we have to wait and see

I was being nice.  His tape in that game was dismal.  Can't tackle and no instincts.  I don't like the pick at all.  Maybe he can contribute on special teams in his first year.  He better be smart because he's going to be in for a rude awakening in the NFL.  Hope I am dead wrong but hate when the Packers get cute and try to find that diamond in the rough.  He tested well athletically but that doesn't mean squat if he can't play.  Wouldn't ***** if we blew a late 5th but trading up to get this guy don't like it.  I'll look into him further and try to get behind him having a hard time right now.

Gute basically confirmed that sending Randall out was because of his locker room presence in the presser. When asked about why this year would be different from 2015's draft: “I will say this: the wiring of the football players that we bring into this building is really important”
