7 Big Questions for Green Bay Packers Following 2022 NFL Draft
By Paul Bretl
What will the Green Bay Packers offensive line look like Week 1?
In one weekend, the Green Bay Packers offensive line unit went from incredibly thin to being one of the more intriguing positional battles that will take place this summer.
Both LaFleur and Brian Gutekunst told reporters that they believe Sean Rhyan will get a chance to play tackle, where he spent pretty much his entire career at UCLA, so he could end up competing with Yosh Nijman for those starting right tackle reps.
Zach Tom is believed by many to be better suited for the interior at the NFL level, but he was one of the better pass-blocking tackles in college football last season and Gutey mentioned that he thinks he could be an option at tackle. So perhaps we see Tom in the mix at right tackle as well.
Tom can also play any of the three interior positions while Rhyan could play either guard position–which again, is only going to kick up the competition with Jon Runyan, Josh Myers, and Royce Newman all having to earn their playing time.
As of now, the only player I would sharpie in as a Week 1 starter is David Baktiari. Now, that doesn’t mean there will be a massive shake-up along the offensive line, but none of the other four spots are guaranteed either.
