Jenkins may not be ready until mid season Yeah, there's no rookie OT that's going to beat him out. Not one that we wouldn't have to trade up to the top 15 for that is.

I don't think anyone bumps out Runyan, think he's for real. Not impossible, I wouldn't be surprised if one of those 4 picks is a OL. Yup. Maybe one of them is. I like Kenyon Green, just because he has that Jenkins comparison going for him. He would come in and beat out one of Runyan or Newman right away. I think Runyan is an average starting G in the NFL, with a little room to grow. Newman was sub average last year, could get a year two bump. But I'm not sold on him. And I don't know who is there for depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude is a keeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leader Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Now add Jordan Davis in the draft and we'll have our own Maginot Line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they ever moved him around and I would be surprised if they start now. For RT I think it will be between Newman, Runyan, Van Lanen and Draft Pick.

Full season played with 2 sacks and 0 penalties, think you're selling Runyan quite a bit short. Specially when you add in bloodlines which I think need to be factored. I think he's our guard for the next 4-6 years. Kenyon Green isn't going to be on our board. He missed like every single athletic baseline for a Packers OL. If you want the guy we'll take in rd 2, my money is on Cole Strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we can move a guard to tackle, but not a tackle to tackle? I get some of those guys played tackle in college, but the pros are a different animal. They cut Turner to get Nijman on the field. He'll be our RT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'll bet he was cross trained at both tackle positions. I think most are in GB. I don't think Runyan has enough quicks in those feet to be a tackle. Any tackle. Newman does, and RT may be his best position. Van Lanen is a total wildcard. That kind of athlete, Nijman, is very versatile. He was always the athlete. Now it looks like he figured out how to football. He's gonna be one of those huge success stories on the OL that was purely developed.

Aren’t these guys strictly interior linemen in the NFL… maybe in college. But I want no part of Runyan or Van Lanen as a T even if it is RT.

Sandy Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 To echo the above comments, it would be a huge upset if Nijman is not the opening day starter at RT. Assuming Billy doesn't come back once his medicals clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Runyan for example from an athletic measurables perspective is actually better than Bakhtiari. I wouldn't right him off as a potential tackle even though the Packers has never tried him there.
