"We" don't get to decide. The front office has never said that they plan to keep Jenkins at LG forever. Least I don't recall hearing them say it.

Lo and behold, the damn Packers went and screwed up and did it anyway. Thankfully, they put their LG back at his position and wouldn't you know it, the offensive line started to play better. 

So, I think WE need to stop pining for moving our stud LG around and let the guy rock out where he's at. And WE can only HOPE that the damn coaches stop trying to out smart themselves. I'm all for giving guys a shot at different positions (SIDETRACK: High School coach had Barry Sanders at DB, new one came in and said, nope, not anymore, we're gonna put you at RB and see how you do) because sometime it works out, sometimes it doesn't ala Rasul Douglas on the inside. 

One of the things that irked me about Packers drafts is taking Tackles and moving them inside. It didn't seem like a one off here and there. It felt like it was almost a GOAL of theirs. 

I guess to better summarize what my point is here is I want masters, not jacks of all trades. And I think you have a higher chance of achieving greatness when you are more singularly focused on one goal. 

Hell, I even contradicted myself here a bit because I said I thought WE liked Zach Tom for LT and the dude was an interior lineman! But that's what I mean. You can try, but have to be quick to go back. And I think with Jenkins, we've tried and its' time to stop moving him around. The pairing of Zach Tom at LT and Elgton Jenkins at LG seemed to be pretty damn strong duo. I could be mistaken though.

I think Gute will trade out of #13..

That being said, I'm going with Bijon Robinson.

The Giants and Cowboys will be fighting over who can trade for him .

Even if Gute keeps him,  what a trifecta of RB's for 2024 anyway .

Hell J. Love may only have to pass 20 times a game with that set of Rb's

We got Sean Rhyan sucking up oxygen money and a spot on the 53. He looked good on paper, never played a down, got suspended. Hell of a red-shirt year.

I will be surprised if the Eagles don't take Bijan. That looks like a terror for the rest of the NFC if they do.

According to David Bakhtiari, Sean got screwed over on that suspension. He didn't say him by name, but it was kind of obvious. And also added sometimes players will take supplement (he also said they are NEEDED) that were on the approved list and then that list changes and BONK. He was 3rd round pick right? So I mean ... maybe cast him off anyway lol

I'm not writing him off, instead I'm wondering if the Pack is factoring in his potential, also how many wanna be tackles this team carries that sure look like guards, coupled with the scary suckage on that o line for a shitty percentage of the 2022 season. It's complicated. I prefer going d at 13 right now, and I never thought I would say that.

That is draft day afternoon, not when we are on the clock. Shit happens

If we want to run the ball we need linemen who can move the line of scrimmage (like Philly's.)   Our guys do not.

We need more guy who can 'road grade' if you want to run the ball better.  Decent backs + great lines = Great running games.

In that regard, a strong tackle or Skoronski would be nice.   Mayer even better.

Ancillary thought
I wonder if the Packers brass, just for comedic relief, looks at mock drafts and commentary and laughs to themselves?
Go Packers!!!!

I'm thinking of switching up my guess, to be less out on limb. I'm now thinking the Packers pick...

OT Broderick Jones, Georgia
TE Dalton Kincaid, Utah
TE TE Michael Mayer, Notre Dame

Of course if they stay at #13 it's OL, but I think they might trade back and pick a TE.

wpr (19h) : 7 days
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb
wpr (9-Apr) : yay
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland
Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'
Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you
Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.
