The Green Bay Packers' offensive line had a thin depth 10 days ago. Now, there has been an influx of talent and options, with the signing of veteran Andre Dillard last week and especially the addition of three draft picks and two undrafted free agents.
Let's evaluate, position by position, how the Packers offensive front is shaped.
Rasheed Walker had a solid second half of last season, but not good enough to preclude the Packers from considering options. First-round pick Jordan Morgan will probably have a chance to take the job over, or maybe Zach Tom can move to LT, with Morgan at RT, and Walker as a swing tackle.
This is probably the only spot of the offensive line that it's already defined. Elgton Jenkins is the obvious starter and won't move. The interesting point here is the depth, and if the Packers see Andre Dillard as a backup guard as well.
Myers is expected to start at center in the last year of his rookie deal, but there has been a report from Rob Demovsky before the draft saying that the Packers see Zach Tom as a potential future Hall of Famer at the position. So, there's a realistic scenario where Tom moves inside, with Walker and Morgan as the tackles. This is also the spot where fifth-rounder Jacob Monk can get a chance.
Sean Rhyan was the presumed starter before the draft, but now the best-five probably includes Jordan Morgan. Considering his short arms, the safest path is moving Morgan inside to right guard, leaving the tackle spots with Walker and Tom.
Zach Tom played at an extremely high level last year, and right tackle is a valuable position, so the most likely path is that the former fourth-rounder stays where he is. If he moves to left tackle or center, Morgan can get an opportunity here.
