Offensive Coordinator Adam Stenavich seems to have suggested that starting positions at LT, RG and RT are open for competition.
While also seemingly ignoring LG and C. As Banks and Jenkins seem to be locked in there.
My take is below the article quote
Right tackle Zach Tom not immune from Packers’ competition-over-everything approach following what he called a ‘mixed bag’ season
GREEN BAY — At first, it seemed as if Adam Stenavich might’ve misspoken. Then, the Green Bay Packers offensive coordinator made it clear that he had not.
Stenavich was discussing the team’s offensive line last week, and emphasizing the importance of competition as he, head coach Matt LaFleur and offensive line coach Luke Butkus search for the ever elusive “best five” linemen.
“We’re going to have,” Stenavich said during a 16-minute Q&A session with reporters during a break in Phase II of the offseason program, “a lot of competition there at both tackle positions with trying to find who our best five guys are.”
Whoa, wait a minute. Both tackle positions?

The article goes into detail about Tom's year last year, but as the clear best linemen on the team, why is his spot open for competition?
I think the article might be looking at it from the wrong angle. I believe Tom might have his starting spot locked up, maybe at which position might still be in question?
Could they be giving Tom, Walker and Morgan all an opportunity for the LT spot? With losers then competing for RT spot? Or the best 5 overall as they put it... or 3 overall of Banks and Jenkins are already locked in.
Also this would allow rookie OL Belton to possibly focus in on the right side only, and battle at RG and RT.
