First off id like to know were hes gonna play on the line everyone thinks hes gonna be a T but I think hes fit to play G I think he will backup Josh Sitton.
Could he develop into a starter?He looks good hes athletic he was the fastest guard in the combine in terms of his 40 I just want to get your guys thoughts on this guy he could have an impact if someone gets hurt on the line.

I think he's going to be an OG. But he needs to learn to keep his elbows in to get a good punch, and I think he's going to be a couple of year project and could end up on the PS this year.

Unless he has a TERRIBLE training camp, this kid is not going to end up on the practice squad.

It's just that it's a numbers game and this is the deepest the Packers OL has been in a long time. Yes they had the best OL in the NFL for a while there for the depth behind those great five may not compare with the depth behind the current guys.
Last year are OL finshed as
Clifton, Colledge, Wells, Sitton, Tausher
Assuming it stays the same guys (which it might not be) the back-ups would be
Bulaga, Barbre, D-Smith, Spitz, Lang
or
Bulaga, Spitz, D-Smith, Lang, Giacomini
(MM said Lang is playing on the right side this season)
That's a pretty good second string (and no they're not all starting worthy but good 2nd string.)
And Newhouse is playing behind both Barbre and UDFA McDonald.
While you may or may not like the starters, that's a tough 2nd string to break just like the Packers WR... it would be hard for any late round pick to break into the top 4... just like it's hard for any late pick OL to jump into the top 9 or 10 OL after we got Bulaga...
