This is a very rare topic of conversation in football forums. However I believe it's time to start talking about it as I strongly believe that Thompson will be looking at drafting a guard in the later rounds.

Next season we could be looking at

LT- Clifton
LG- Colledge
C- Spitz, Carvalho
RG- Sitton
RT- Tauscher, Giacomini

I believe the packers staff are "down" on Wells and could cut him and focus on Spitz as our centre with the possibility of promoting Carvalho as backup even though on paper he is undersized.

Barbre and Moll has not shown anything to suggest they can come in a perform at a decent level when needed. I expect Moll to be cut and Barbre is on thin ice.

I fully expect us to draft an OT within the 1st two picks. That leaves a guard spot that needs to be filled.

What prospects out there could we be looking at? I imagine that we would be looking at around 6ft 4" and 315lbs which is roughly the same size as Sitton.

The main prospect is Alex Mack who fits those dimensions to the T, While he is a centre, he can also play guard and that gives us versatility if Spitz get's injured. Unfortunately he is projected to go late 1st round, early 2nd round.

Instead we could be looking at guys like Jonathan Luigs, Andy Kemp, Andy Levitre, Travis Bright, Robert Brewster and Alex Fletcher to name but a few.

I'm intrigued with Bright and Kemp after reading their nfl.com combine profile. Unfortunately i know next to nothing about those guys,

Maybe you guys would be more knowledgeable about OG's in the draft. Who do you think is good and who do you want the packers to draft?

I can't imagine the Packers keeping Carvalho over Wells. Even if Spitz is the starting C this year, keeping Wells allows us to move Spitz out to guard and Wells into center if a guard injury occurs.

Supposedly Giacomini is developing nicely. Barbre was a bit of a letdown last year, I heard. Sitton will be a starter.

I have gotten to the point where I consider O-line just one of a number of needs we have, along with NT, OLB, and DE. It's really going to come down to BPA, and hope we can steal some guys who slip, say Mack in the 2nd (I would love that because it locks up Spitz at guard and I think Sitton/Spitz are a great guard duo).

The real question when I think about the O-line is, is Colledge a legit LT? If he is, it answers a lot of questions for us. If he isn't, we pretty much need to take an OT at #9 if one drops to us.

I think we need to take one of the top three offensive tackles if they drop to us no matter what.

Although, I wouldn't mind having Malcom Jenkings--CB though. Every team needs a CB, and that would be a great pick, in my opinion.

Random OL comment from the combine so far today. Jamon Meredith has really impressed me in every drill so far. Definitely a guy to keep an eye on.
