Overview
Burris is a very instinctive, fly-around linebacker who has the size and strength to play a number of roles at the next level. He is big, fast, and physical and will contribute on special teams; he could even contest for a starting role early on given that he is a low-floor, low-ceiling prospect who is likely as good as he is going to get; that's a good all-around player though, with fifth- or six-round value.
Analysis
Weaknesses
Burris is not an outstanding pass defender; he gets the job done, but his speed is exposed slightly in space. Could be like the Patriots' Brandon Spikes, both good and bad, as Spikes has trouble against the pass.

| Grade | Title | Draft (Round) | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 96-100 | Future Hall of Famer | Top Pick | A once-in-a-generation type prospect who could change how his position is played |
| 85-95 | Immediate Starter | 1st | An impact player with the ability/intangibles to become a Pro Bowl player. Expect to start immediately except in a unique situation (i.e. behind a veteran starter). |
| 70-84 | Eventual Starter | 2nd-3rd | A quality player who will contribute to the team early on and is expected to develop into a starter. A reliable player who brings value to the position. |
| 50-69 | Draftable Player | 4th-7th | A prospect with the ability to make team as a backup/role player. Needs to be a special teams contributor at applicable positions. Players in the high range of this category might have long-term potential. |
| 20-49 | Free Agent | UDFA | A player with solid measurables, intangibles, college achievements, or a developing skill that warrants an opportunity in an NFL camp. In the right situation, he could earn a place on a 53-man roster, but most likely will be a practice squad player or a camp body. |
