Picked by Colts
The Colts selected Burks in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 254th overall.
ANALYSIS
No one would have thought anything of it if the Colts had taken Burks in the fourth round rather than the seventh, so this can only be seen as an ideal end-of-draft selection. Burks' lack of production at Purdue and Oklahoma generally indicates a limitation in his wide receiver skill set, but if the weak parts of his game ever improve, he has the athleticism to become quite useful. Small as he is at 5-foot-10, 180 pounds, Burks' athleticism is loud -- his 4.30-second 40-yard dash, 42.5-inch vertical jump and 131-inch broad jump are all well above the 90th percentile for wide receivers.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Good fit in Cincinnati?
In his early Round 4 mock draft, Jordan Reid of ESPN.com has the Bengals selecting Burks with the 110th overall pick.
ANALYSIS
Burks did not hear his name called over the first two days of the draft, but that should change Saturday for the Oklahoma product. He finished his five-year college career on a strong note with the Sooners, posting 57 catches for 620 yards and four touchdowns across 13 games. The Bengals used their first two picks of the draft to address their needs on defense, so grabbing Burks would give the team some additional depth at wide receiver. If taken by Cincinnati, he would likely compete against Andrei Iosivas and Mitchell Tinsley for the Bengals' WR3 job behind Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins.
