Like I've said, the first spot I think I'm putting Tom is at LT. His pass protection is his clear strength, his power game is his clearly weakness. LT is hugely graded in pass protection and hopefully he can learn about handling the power from a similar style player in Bakhtiari. They could boom or bust, Bakhtiari boomed.

That's at least if we don't have to work him as a backup Center. Though maybe we can work him at both LT and C.

I see Tom moving to the right side. More than likely RG. At least after Meyer returns to play RT. Since he has been on the left side in his college career, it will take him a little time to get his footwork down.

I am not worried about his strength. After a couple of months with Chris Gizzi and the rest of the S&C crew he will be ready to take on almost any DLinemen he faces.

"Meyer returns to play RT"? You mean Elgton? I see Elgton going back to LG. I think Yosh will win the starting RT job. They have said all 3 rookie tackles will get shot at winning that RT spot as well. I just think Yosh will be the one to win it.

If Elgton is healthy...the starting five week 1 will be:

LT- Bakh

LG- Elgton

C- Josh Myers

RG- Runyan

RT- Yosh

All the rooks provide more valuable depth. Royce Newman is depth as well. He needs to up his game before he can be starter again. Runyan twice the G at either spot that Newman is.

Nope. He's our best RT. Yosh is backup.

Yosh could start at either tackle spot, but obviously he won't beat out Bakh at LT. They like Yosh more than I think you realize. That is why when Bakh and Elgton were both out Yosh was the one that became the starter at LT. Not Dennis Kelly or Billy or anyone else. Yes, they made the mistake of not starting Yosh at tackle in the playoff game and the line was a absolute mess. LaFleur, Steno, and Butkus know not to make that mistake again. Yosh will get his shot to make RT his and I think he will seize it.

We will see how the 3 rooks look in camp. Gute said: "I would think the coaches will take a look at all 3 of those tackles at RT." Gute obviously views all 3 rooks as OTs more than anything else.

beast (12m) : If they aren't doing it, then why are you assuming they know how to do it?

dfosterf (5h) : Mackelvie

dfosterf (5h) : Michael Macelvie- NFL teams know how to draft- Why don"t they?

dfosterf (5h) : Youtube

Zero2Cool (10h) : Packers were not selected for the 2025 Hall of Fame game.

dfosterf (12h) : PFOW Out of our division would be a good thing imo

Zero2Cool (14h) : Jameson Williams is done at 24 years old? What? He's a WR, not QB. I'm missing something here haha

wpr (14h) : Tomorrow is almost here.

packerfanoutwest (15h) : would you want him if Pack needed a back up qb?

packerfanoutwest (15h) : JW is done......stick a fork in him

Zero2Cool (16h) : You should. He goes to AFC that helps Packers.

packerfanoutwest (23-Apr) : don't care

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Lions shopping Jameson Williams?

packerfanoutwest (22-Apr) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (22-Apr) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.

wpr (22-Apr) : now 3

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Who? What?

beast (22-Apr) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (21-Apr) : meh

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (21-Apr) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (21-Apr) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 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?
