Arizona Cardinals select edge Jordan Burch in 3rd round of NFL Draft

What does Burch bring the Cardinals:

In his two seasons at Oregon, Burch recorded 11.5 sacks and 19 tackles for loss and was a force in the trenches. His senior season was easily the best of his five-year collegiate career, tallying 8.5 sacks and 11 tackles for loss, earning All-Big Ten third team.

Burch was the 17th ranked edge in production and athleticism score at the NFL combine. At 6’4 and 279 pounds, Burch has great speed on the edge, running a 4.67 40-yard dash. The Cardinals will incorporate Burch’s size and speed for their pass rush, with Pro Bowlers like Josh Sweat and Calais Campbell.

General manager Monti Ossenfort has made it a point of emphasis to address the front seven this offseason. Ossenfort has done that, spending big money in free agency and spending two of his first three picks addressing the defensive line.
