Needs Packers must address in 2022 NFL Draft: Offensive Tackle

The Packers somewhat surprisingly cut Billy Turner, creating cap space and a need an offensive tackle in the process. They do have options along the offensive line since Gutekunst has been a rock star at drafting the position over the last few years.

Elgton Jenkins should be ready to return and could start at right tackle while Yosh Nijman is another option. However, the Packers could keep Jenkins at left guard where he’s excelled and Nijman as the backup by selecting a right tackle in the first round. That pick would continue to expand their riches among big men upfront and would make Aaron Rodgers’ job easier when it comes to finding open receivers.
