It just got bigger when we released our starter.

You've got Bakhtiari, but I don't know how much you can rely on him at this point. Nijman looks like a capable backup, but if he starts at RT, as some have suggested, then he's not available at LT. Jenkins can play either tackle spot, but he's not going to be available when the season starts.

So I don't see a start RT on the roster right now, or a backup.

I suggest that we have bigger problems that might impact this. Releases have started and it looks like they are going to be clearing much more cap than hoped for. I’d wait for prioritizing until after the dust settles.

Runyan is a starter. They like him. . Several good tackles later in the draft

Nijman is the odds on starter at RT now that Turner is gone.

Yosh earned it with his play last year. And he also has played many snaps there in college so he has already learned how to "use his other hand" as Sitton once said to Turner. Not only does Yosh have great size, strength and agility...he is very intelligent and is a sponge absorbing coaching according to Steno.

I am still shaking my head why Matt and his O coaches thought it a good move to move Turner to LT (he did not play well at all) and the lumbering Kelly at RT where he was destroyed by the 49er speed rush. Those two moves greatly contributed to the loss as the did the QB play and STs of course.

A starting line up of Baht, Runyon, Meyers, Newman, and Yosh looks good to me. And when Jenks comes back move Runyon to RT and Newman to the bench.

I now think a T on draft day 1 or 2 is highly likely...and also a G on day 2 or 3 as it sadly appears Patrick will be released.

So if Bakh rolls his ankle, who do you put in?

Nothing is more important than keeping your QB protected. IF Nijman is backing up Bakh, that's good.

They are going to draft a lineman. Really goes without saying. I'd be surprised if they draft one in the 1st round. Even 2nd round seems high with the other needs they have. That said, few names I think they could get in the first three rounds.

1st/2nd (bottom/top-middle) - T/G Bernhard Raimann - Most athletic of these names. But shorter arms, which is why some see him as a G, and needs to put on more weight. I'd pass as I think this is too high at #28.

2nd (top-middle) - T/G Darian Kinnard - Big hands, long arms. But slow and not quick. However, he did have good production and played both positions. Versatility Packers like. I'd be surprised if he lasts until #59, but if he does, I'd think he would be in conversation. 2nd still too high for this position?

3rd (top-middle) - T Abraham Lucas - Also big hands and long arms. Also very athletic. Only allowed 4 sacks in 3000 snaps. But not much experience in run game as the team was mostly passing team. I'd also be surprised if he makes to #92 in the 3rd, but if he fell this far, this would be where I'd take him.

I see them drafting a tackle though only in the mid-to-late rounds. They don't seem real high on Cole Van Lanen. The Packers released their starting right tackle in Turner.(Someone please explain why Turner played at left tackle in the playoffs?)

With Preston Smith back, plus R. Gary, they have edge rushers. The urgency there has diminished. They will need help at middle linebacker after Campbell leaves. I'm not sure the D. Adams impasse will be solved so they need a solid receiver.

Packers draft needs in order:
1) Wide receiver(might need 2)
2) Linebacker
3) Tight end(could be swapped with wide receiver)
4) Edge rusher
5) Tackle-offense
6) Tackle-defense

After breaking my arm and having a cast up to my shoulder, I learned how to wipe with no problems. In fact I use my other arm more often now for everything. I know, TMI. In any case, it certainly can be done and linemen know how to do it just fine. It comes with practice. Yet if a good one drops I can see this team doing it again and maybe moving him to guard until the time he may be needed. We kept Yosh for years and slowly developed him.

GB has always seemed pretty adept at draft and developing the OL position. For that reason I’m not overly concerned. However, with age and serious injury concerns, along with Turner being cut, depth may be an issue. Obviously we have more pressing needs to address with earlier round picks, but let me pose the question anyway. Let’s say Trevor Penning from UNI or the center from Iowa drops to 28, do we draft either or?

Its much easier thinking what doesnt this team need. QB, RB, punter.
We need ILB, OLB, OL, DL, Safety, Kicker, return specialist.
Again this year like always there is a ton of holes to fill because of the way the pack structure contracts. Our developmentals are developed so other teams can have them once we can no longer pay them veteran wages and those cheapo deals run out.
We must have 10 X packers doing quite well of playoff teams. Sad all the talent we let go out the door and got nothing for them.
I'm with Zimmer, you draft to win now not in three years.

Campbell back !

They should go dumpster diving after someone like Dennis Kelly, perhaps even Kelly again if the price is right. And draft o-line, at least 1, every single year. With a target group of 9 on the roster, there is always room for another o-line. Having said that, you need to find two guys to play outside between Bahk, Jenkins, Nijman. I've seen someone suggest Newman might be able to slide outside. Given everything else, that's a gamble I'm comfortable taking.

Bigger fish to fry with premium picks, WR, TE, Edge and CB are bigger needs in my eyes as things sit on March 14. Normally, on the sheer value of the position, I would not include TE in that group. But the way ML likes to use them means they better get some more and make them count. If they can re-sign Douglas or Sullivan, that might bump CB down a bit. Jaire and Stokes are a top-notch pair but you need 3 in 2022 NFL.
