I think the overall premise is correct. Get the guys in to build behind the veterans. There were a couple problems that hurt. 1, Mike McCarthy and the ZBS. McCarthy wanted the smaller agile Oline, and IMO it is hurting us because they are getting overpowered. Then Tauscher getting hurt, threw in RT on top of LT as a need last offseason. Tauscher had not been declining in performance. He was still the best on the line. Had he not been injured there only really would have been 1 position of need on the Oline, instead of 2.

Tauscher was playing poorly before he was injured. Whether that was due to decline or not is another matter.
Also the Packers, since last season, have been getting away from the "smaller quicker" linemen. Sitton was the first guy they moved in there who is bigger. Could be why they're keeping Giacomini on the roster too.
No other explanation for Giacomini.
