I think we keep 2 out of three starters, and depending how Spriggs looks it might be both guards. I like Bahktiari alot but not sure he's worth open market tackle money. If we can get him signed before hand I think I'd be ok with it. Between Sitton and Lang it's a toss up for me. Sitton is slightly better skill wise but is a bit more broken down , while I think Lang has a 3-4 more top years left.

Would love if we could keep Tretter as a swing man, but that's unlikely. He'll want starter money somewhere.

What do you all thinK?

COULD? It most certainly will, I wouldn't be surprised to only keep one of the three. I don't think Bahktiari is a long term solution at LT. Taylor will end up in one of the two G spots next year.
The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

Four of the Packers top six OL from last year are FAs. Sitton, Lang, Bak and Tretter.... I think the Packers will resign two of them... I would not be surprised if Tretter is one of them, as it sounds more and more like he could potentially be a long term replacement for Sitton or Lang.

If Bahktiari and Spriggs are both retained, who is your left tackle?

Of course Spriggs has better long term potential at LT, but he's raw and probably not ready yet. But in theory could be switched over to RT if needed (but I'm not sure that's what you want).

This could be one of the reasons Bulaga isn't a candidate to be cut, because of his versatility. Bulaga can probably play RT or the OGs... and with him not being as quick on those knees, OG might be the long term place for him. Also because of money... if you cut Bulaga then their is dead cap space (and the Packers don't have a lot of cap room looking at this year and next offseason to resign everybody)... and I'm not sure you could get Bahktiari (a LT... so they get paid more) to sign for less than $7 million like Bulaga did, which would be taking up even more cap space.

...so the Pack can get some nice comp picks, which Ted can now trade.

Also that (Comp picks)... assuming Bahktiari signs for at least $7 million, then the Packers will most likely be locked in for a 4th round comp pick. If he's able to get a top 15 LT contract $8.9 million or more... then he'll have a chance at possibly landing a 3rd round comp pick.

Where if we trade Bulaga... maybe a 5th?

So basically it's not about just the best players, but also the money and cap space and versatility of the players.

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems
beast (10-Feb) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason
beast (10-Feb) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick
packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : wtf Barkley?
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh fuck me i messed that up
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Carter was 9th overall
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : And we could only wish to have this type of D
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D
packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : another crap halftime show
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half
