Pundits predicted all three prospects to be picked in the third or fourth rounds in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Standing at 6-foot-9 and 325 pounds, Burke has impressive size even for an offensive tackle. He ran the 40-yard dash in 5.17 seconds at the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine.
“Burke is a tall tackle with plus drive-blocking talent for his body type. He uses flexible hips and ankles, along with well-placed hands, to create leverage at the point of attack,” wrote NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein. “He finishes blocks with good aggression when the opportunity arises. A lack of short-area quickness limits his range as a run blocker and in pass protection. He’s scheme-dependent in the run game and will need help managing NFL edge speed, but strong hands allow for longer sustained control when he lands cleanly.
“There are areas of concern that might not be coachable, but Burke’s length and demeanor work in his favor.”
