    Lang projected as a guard initially, I think. However, the coaching staff said that he projected well as a right tackle at the end of last season.

    He has promise and should be given a shot
    I don't understand why they want to play Lang at guard, to me RT seems to be his natural position.

      I don't see Lang at guard unless Tausch comes back and Spitz moves to center, but even then I don't really like it. This moving guys around all the time has to stop at some point.

          haha ok man, I was actually going by what MM said but thanks for clearing it up for me. They were saying either LG or RT would be his best position but I would rather if they just worked him at RT instead of moving him all over the place.

            I really believe that Wells is/should/will be the starter. I've been saying this for what, 3 years?

            Wells earned the starting position long before Spitz.

            I still don't know what exactly Spitz "did" to beat Wells for the Center spot last off season. other than be "taller". I thought Wells not only took the "demotion" well, he sat very patiently on the bench, never saying a word about it like a good team player.

            He also came back in as the starter again due to injury and performed more than admirably. I also think he may deserve some unheralded credit for the vastly improved offensive line, along side of Taush and Cliffy , after the seasons dismal starting performance.

            I feel like he has proven that he belongs in the NFL from a performance, durability, and accountability viewpoint.

            I am glad he is on this team, it would be bad to loose him.

              The scouts in McGinn's 'rating the Packers free agents' piece thought Colledge was your run of the mill NFL OL.

              You're so biased, you ignore anything to support your belief. Colledge isn't a good player, but he's an average lineman. He belongs in the NFL and will be there for at least 5 years, mark my words on that. You are wrong about Colledge not belonging in the NFL. Dead wrong.

                And I agree with capn kickass. Some of us were wrong on Wells. He had that tough injured year, but since then has been solid in there. He proved he belonged last year. Spitz is probably going to be on the bench next year but if he's healthy he's a good, quality 3-position reserve.

                  Wells will be the starter, along with Clifton and Sitton. The questions now are whether Tauscher will be back, and if so, whether Lang will be given the opportunity to battle for a starting job at LG or RT.

                    Maybe not. Don Banks thinks the Pack will select UF center Maurkice Pouncey. The word on Pouncey is that he will start from day one (wherever he ends up.) He can also play guard.

                      If the Packers draft Pouncey, it will be to play Guard. He won't be high enough on their board to be drafted in the 1st round if they just see him as a Center.

                        If I had to speculate I'd still guess the Packers will take an OT in the first. Trent Williams is perhaps the best fit as he should be a dominating RT from day one with enough upside to be an elite LT when Clifton hangs it up. Bulaga is probably the safest pick for the Packers. I doubt either will be around at #23. Charles Brown will be though and his fit is pretty good too. He's got a good frame for a zone blocking LT and his pass pro technique is text book. We could probably trade down 10 spots and still have a shot at him due to concerns about his size and just the general depth at the position.

                        This is the first offseason the Packers will not be viewing College as our LT of the future. IMO Lang would be best suited for LG with the ability to backup the LT position. Aside from Clifton there really isn't an NFL LT type player on the roster. Meredith was this type of player last year but for whatever reason that didn't work out. We'll be looking for someone else with his potential.
