    I tend to agree. Monk is a C first. This tells me either they don't plan to move Tom to C or Monk was just too much value to pass up on.

    Packers traded up to draft Monk so they definitely have plans for him. He didn't just fall to them.

    The Tom to C talk was entertaining but still unlikely.

    How do you think Tom would love moving to Center ? Least paid OL position I think
    LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?

    I could see it happening next year if Myers is gone and Morgan and Walker look good. But to get Tom to stay past 2025, they would need to pay him more than the going rate for the top Centers.

    My favorite breakdown, as always. Wahle really likes Bullard. For those who haven't he's worth a listen.

    Good stuff. Morgan and Monk incredible upside but probably need a year at least to get technique down.

    Cooper plays with his hair on fire and probably starts on day one because he’s better than what we have.

    Bullard is a football player. Smart, detailed, fast, natural at it, physical, can do everything. With the huge paycheck to McKinney and now drafting this kid, I think the days of dumb athletes at safety are over.

    I'm going with Morgan. The Packers needed upgrades on the Oline, and a better Oline makes everything about the offense better. An unstoppable offense will make the defense better as well.
    Fire Murphy, Gute, MLF, Barry, Senavich, etc!

    It would be really hard to focus if your hair was on fire.

    And we don't want that for Olidapo, or how can we enjoy the ever-changing hair colors?

    I voted for Cooper. The guys highlight film makes him look like the ultimate game wrecker.

    Wahle is great. I'm surprised a team hasn't brought him in as a coach.

    It will be nice to see offenses having to react to the Packs defense for once. Hoping this guy turns into something like Patrick Willis. Same size and speed and likes to blow shit up.

    I hope Hafley is the right guy. With how much we invested on D in the draft and signing McKinney, he will have no excuses. Hiccups are okay, but boy it's going to be a huge letdown if the defense doesn't at light slightly improve...

    Kalen King is my vote just because he should have been drafted in round 4.

    Since GB will play a lot of 4-2-5, there is an opportunity for him....

    I think Tom to guard is a lot more likely.

    Morgan/Jenkins/Myers/Tom/Walker ain't half bad.

    That's how I've been seeing it too, assuming Morgan performs in camp.

    That was always my thought process. If you read my drivel you know I have always said he's a guard, but when the report came out they talked about viewing him as a HoF center so you have to consider it a possibility.

    Its funny that everyone who thought Jenkins (who played a really good LT pre injury) should shut up and play guard regardless of salary disparity thinks Tom on the other hand will demand they play him where he wants.

    I also think if Walker doesn't stay put at LT it will only be because he regresses. He finished last season with a strangle hold on the job, I don't care what "coach speak" is happening right now.

    Most likely opening day OL will be

    Walker, Jenkins, Myers, Morgan, Tom

    That will be for various reasons. 2 years from now it could be the 4 of the same: Walker, Jenkins, Monk, Tom, Morgan

    I think Morgan starts interior because while he has great feet, he doesn't always use them perfectly and he is a powerful run blocker who gets to the 2nd level. He also has some work with his hands that needs to improve before he stops NFL edge rushers. Both of those are easily within his ability to get right, but it takes time. I doubt he has ever had a great coach. But he has power and balance and that gets you starting at guard on day 1.

    Where have you observed Morgan being a powerful run blocker?

    Living here, I have multiple friends who are AZ college fans so I watched several of his games. I have seen him block with power and I have seen him shield guys off in the run game. And I've seen him get to the next level and terrorize LBs more than once. He is a really good run blocker.

    I think Morgan is a bit of a project. I don’t see much of a chance of him starting at tackle in game 1. While you can see his athleticism on film, there also are a lot of poor tendencies that need to be coached up. Perhaps he starts at guard early, but I’m even doubtful of that. I think the Packers are fine letting him develop and mostly providing depth in year one. I can get behind Wahle’s opinion that Monk is probably more likely to get a start first because he will be playing the position of our weakest (and soon to be departed) interior lineman. Morgan may turn out to be better in time, but his learning curve will be steeper at tackle.
    It's such a GOOD feeling...13 TIME WORLD CHAMPIONS!!

    I don't think you give him enough credit. Every college player has things they can improve on. Morgan reaches too early against speed rushers and he got away with it in college. Teaching him the right technique and having him take 100 snaps against Gary probably fixes it in one camp. He could start at tackle on day one and not ruin a season, however there is no urgency to do that which is why I think he starts at RG. Its because we have 2 excellent tackles already and there is not need to rush it. Its not because he has the mountainous learning curve. Mims has a much higher learning curve and he went 18? I think it was.
