Silverstein said Packers were likely glad when Lions made trade with Cowboys because Cowboys were probably going to be drafting OL 1st round. Cowboys ended up taking Tyler Guyton at 29.

I'm surprised that Guter wasn't higher on Arnold. That kid will lock down a corner spot for the next six or seven years.
And I agree with Run that Morgan is not a sexy pick, and we all like sexy, but in actual value to the team this pick might be just fine. If he can play a tackle spot for ten years and be upper tier, he's a very good pick. All this draft build-up does contribute to our expectations, too. It's crazy. So - I wonder, are Jets fans also feeling deflated because the team chose a tackle, or are they jacked because he was for many people the #1 tackle prospect?"The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

When people watch tape of Morgan from 2023, they need to keep in mind they're watching a guy who tore his ACL in November 2022. Sometimes it takes guys with an ACL a full year to get back to 100%. There's a decent chance he'll be more fluid and explosive than the guy you see from 2023.I can't run no more

You want Morgan to be a bum tackle and ok guard with the ability to hike the rock? Cos that’s Jenkins in a nutshell.Originally posted by bobblehead View Post
Oh, and DK Metcalf woulda looked great in the Green and Mustard Yellow.Comment

Has any of the Packer Staff come out and say if Morgan is going to compete for a tackle or guard spot? Too soon to say? Just curious. Usually when they're drafted they say the position the team expects that player to play at, like Barton last night was drafted as a Center, but he could play anywhere for any other team.Comment

Nothing yet. Gutey just keeps saying they think he can play 4 positions. I would think they'll move him around in OTA's/minicamp and see how he reacts to being inside.Originally posted by pittstang5 View Post

Yeah all I've heard is they think he can play 4 spots on the line, which is interesting because he's been a T his entire career at AZ. I think his lack of length does show at times, so I think he's ultimately a RG and pushes Rhyan to the bench. I'd give him a shot at T first though. He's got good feet and seems like he's had some good coaching... he's still got some upside.
Training camp is going to be bonkers - they are going to be moving guys all over to see where they fit best to find "their top 5 guys". I wonder if they will have a slow start to the season as a result because it takes time for an OL to gel.
Word is GB didn't even take the full 10 minutes to turn in the pick - they saw he was there, a trade down wasn't appealing and took their guy. With how they've done on some of their recent OL picks there's room for optimism.Comment

"reports" that Washinton was trying to move up to get Morgan and JJ admitted he was on the short list of guys Jerry was considering.
What did the Lions give up to move up in the draft ? Wilde noted they contact the PackersTERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWERComment

Dude looked a bit like Bakh in the little of the film I've watched since last night. Nice feet. He looks like he should get overpowered, but just does the job. Has a bit more upper body strength than you'd think. I'm not unhappy with this pick. Uglem had a nice clip of him shutting out all of the top rushers he faced (Thibodeaux and some others from this year's draft).
This coming from the guy (me) who was spot on about Zach Tom (in a good way) and Josh Myers (in a bad way).

Lions gave up their third round pick to move up, and get a seventh back from the Cowboys in 2025."The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

This seems like and incredibly safe pick. Just a really reliable person. Hard working. Great in the lockerroom. Really good size and athletic ability. Fairly polished. I think fritz said Bulaga…. This guy might have a little more upside and maybe a touch less polish, but similar in the sense of being a really safe OT pick.Formerly known as JustinHarrell.Comment

Tom and Walker are going to be up for contracts in two years. Might be able to trade one next year or at least get the 3rd round comp pick when one of them leaves if that’s how it goes.
I’d rather see the new guy as a backup at least the first half of the year this year. But if Rhyan is a tire fire, there might be another option.Formerly known as JustinHarrell.Comment

And I don't doubt the Packers will add another body or two to that room today."The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."
