Night guys.
should of traded down, bummer,
Jordan Morgan
Overview
Three-year starter who displayed his resilience and work ethic by coming back and playing good football after suffering a torn ACL late in the 2022 season. Morgan is both fluid and flexible in space, with the ability to help spring running plays with second-level blocks and play-side lead blocking. He fails to secure back-side cutoffs too frequently, but improving his pad level and landmarks might fix that issue. His punch approach diminishes his pass protection length and causes him to lose connection at the top of the rush. He will need to get his hands and feet synced up in order to improve his balance and consistency against athletic rushers. He’s a capable run blocker and pass protector, and he features projectable upside with more work. Morgan has the traits and talent to become a solid starting left tackle.
Strengths
Athletic in his lower half, with ability to redirect his weight in space.
Runs his hips under his hands on drive blocks and kick-outs.
Grip strength allows him to stay connected to run blocks longer.
Well-timed combo blocks feature patience and pop.
Effective jump-set helps eliminate rush plan and stall take-off.
Very good feel for the depth of the pocket.
Slide quickness to catch inside counters.
Can flip loose hips to aid in recovery when beaten.
Weaknesses
Long-armed defensive ends stab and separate from him against the run.
Below-average landmarks see him beaten across his face on cut-off blocks.
Needs to fire his hands with greater assertiveness and reset when necessary.
Inconsistent balance and body control through contact.
Tendency to stall feet during punch contact when opening side door.
Allows weight to creep too far outside in pass slides.

That's how the light gets in - Leonard Cohen
This is a good pick. Could revive the talk of moving Tom to C eventually. Morgan may get the chance to challenge for RG position in 2024.

revive?
thats all i've been hearing for a week now since the packers "leaked" that they think tom is a "hall of fame center"
Morgan is a guard. He could pay at RT, but he'd only be as good as decent.
With the talk about Tom being a probowl center, I'm not too surprised they went OT. I'm also guessing they like Tom at center better than Barton.
Fire Murphy, Gute, MLF, Barry, Senavich, etc!

hall of fame center, all pro guard, all star tackle
HOFer
is xavier worthy the guy that tested insanely well, but dropped every ball thrown his way at the combine?
That sounds like a not insignificant upgrade at center from last season.
Fire Murphy, Gute, MLF, Barry, Senavich, etc!

so did anyone hear of him being linked to us at all in the run up to the draft?
i can't remember anyone mentioning him as a target or mocking him to us
gutey really had everyone fooled on this one
I think a lot of people had him ranked in the early-mid 30's so didn't really see him as a likely Packer pick. Obviously Gute had him ranked a bit higher.

this guy had the packers selecting morgan
also had a great senior bowl outing
Didn't lose a single one-on-one at the Senior bowl. That alone should have tipped us off he'd be the pick.
I don't hold Grudges. It's counterproductive.
HOFer
yup, i saw that and i was like, well duh
