Fifth Round: C\/G Jager Burton<\/p>\n
Burton took about half of the first-team reps at right guard this week, though that was mostly a byproduct of the musical chairs up front. During Week 1 of OTAs last week, Anthony Belton was at his customary spot at right guard and Darian Kinnard was filling in for Zach Tom at right tackle. This week, Belton bounced out to right tackle, Kinnard took some reps at left tackle and Burton stepped in at right guard.<\/p>\n
It also is important to note that Jacob Monk, who ended last season as the top interior backup and played well when he started at Minnesota, and Donovan Jennings are out with injuries.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s early, obviously, and we have some guys banged up getting back,\u201d Burton said. \u201cSo, for me, it\u2019s just really cool to get out there with guys that know so much, have so much knowledge about football and about playing the NFL, and hearing how they talk, and taking that back to the twos whenever I\u2019m in with the twos and trying to sound like that first group when I\u2019m at center or whatever it may be.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, just get around those guys and see the speed and how they get off the ball and going against the two (defensive) line, it was really cool.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, had Burton been slow to pick up the scheme, the coaches could have gone in a different direction.<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, that\u2019s probably fair to say,\u201d he said. \u201cCoach (Luke) Butkus always says, \u2018Get better at one thing every day,\u2019 so just trying to chip away at that one thing and look back at the end of it and see all those one things, take it day by day. So. trying to live where my feet are right now and just enjoy this moment.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sixth Round: CB Domani Jackson<\/p>\n
Domani Jackson, who plunged into the sixth round despite having first-round ability<\/a>, has not practiced due to an undisclosed injury. He\u2019s been doing rehab work on the side so probably isn\u2019t too far from getting on the field.<\/p>\n Sixth Round: K Trey Smack<\/p>\n It\u2019s far too early to be reaching for the panic button, let alone smacking it<\/a>, but Trey Smack endured a rough day at OTAs on Tuesday. Of his nine field-goal attempts, he missed four \u2013 including two that were the equivalent of shanking your tee shot into the next fairway.<\/p>\n \u201cI think it\u2019s practice for a reason,\u201d Smack said. \u201cEveryone\u2019s not perfect, so you\u2019re going to miss some, you\u2019re going to make some. The wind wasn\u2019t really that big of a problem. It\u2019s like, what I have to do to make the kick. So, the wind\u2019s always going to be there, and I just got to make the kick.\u201d<\/p>\n Undrafted: G Dillon Wade<\/p>\n In Green Bay\u2019s impressive rookie class<\/a>, Dillon Wade was one who quickly caught your attention. At Auburn in 2024, he saw considerable action at left tackle, left guard and right tackle. In 2025, he focused on left guard and allowed only one sack.<\/p>\n With Jacob Monk and Donovan Jennings not practicing, the rest of the interior linemen have gotten to move up a rung. Last week, Wade took all the No. 2 reps at left guard (ahead of fellow undrafted free agents Josh Gesky and Dylan Barrett).\u00a0<\/p>\n Obviously, the return of Monk and Jennings will impact Wade\u2019s spot on the pecking order, but if he can open the eyes of coaches with this opportunity, he\u2019ll be in a good position when training camp begins next month.<\/p>\n All of the other undrafted free agents, including receiver J. Michael Sturdivant, tight end R.J. Maryland and edge rusher Nyjalik Kelly, are with the third units.<\/p>\n
