Green Bay Packers OT Derek Sherrod likely will compete with OT David Bakhtiari for the LT position. Does he have a real chance?

They will say he does,

But there is no chance in hell.

MM values experience over unproven talent. Regardless of wether the experience is good or bad.

That said, Bahktiari had a pretty solid rookie campaign, and I would not be upset if he gets the nod.

I still think Sherrod is very talented, and can still be a quality OT, but it will not be with the Packers. He will never play meaningful snaps in Green Bay barring injuries.

No, I don't think he has much of a chance of unseating Bakh. They're pretty high on him and with an offseason of weight room (the big knock on him coming out) he should improve. This is probably more a ploy to motivate Bahk while seeing if there's still something there with Sherrod. Bulaga has had two straight season ending injuries and had a bum knee before the hip injury in 2012. Both Bulaga and Sherrod's contracts (Sherrod has a club option but unless he's the second coming of Anthony Munoz or Orlando Pace this season they ain't picking it up) are up after 2014 so they'll both be under a microscope as far as performance and health wise.

Sure he has a chance. Open competition. The best player wins the job. All that stuff.
We shall see if any of that is true or not. With the injuries that he and Bulaga have had I will feel better if all three of these guys are able to go.

Didn't Sherrod go 4 years in college without giving a sack? They messed with him his rookie year trying to fit him into G, plus he didn't have an offseason due to the strike, iirc. He should have plenty of practice this year.

Anyway Datko got his shot last year, didn't show much.

Why would a first round pick, much bigger, much better career in college, supposedly not permanently damaged by his injury "not have a chance"?

I, for one, did not have a high opinion of Bakhtiari. Sure, he was better than Newhouse, but that ain't exactly a high standard. The Packers even with Lacy and Starks could not run off tackle; The worst of the pass rush came from the outside; Our O-Tackle play was generally pathetic.

Hopefully Sherrod wins the job and improves that, and Bulaga gets back to where he was 3 or so years ago and solidifies the right side.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3
wpr (27-Aug) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is
beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah
dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work
