Up until about Pick 20, it felt like the draft couldn’t have broken any better for the Packers. From there, it felt Green Bay got a little complacent and may have missed an opportunity to trade up for a top CB (Quinyon Mitchell or Terrion Arnold) or OT (Troy Fautanu) without giving up more than an additional RD3 pick.
Instead, the Packers stood pat and took Jordan Morgan, who seems to
fit everything Green Bay looks for in an offensive lineman but is a bit of a reach at #40 on our Big Board. Morgan is a three-year starter with 37 starts at left tackle, but his sub 33” arms may foreshadow a move to guard. Morgan has allowed just three sacks and 31 pressures on 920 pass blocks reps over the past two seasons, but he was credited with just one blown block in the run game over the last two years.
Morgan could immediately challenge Rasheed Walker at left tackle, with the loser getting bounced to a right guard battle with Sean Rhyan.
