Round 2 Pick 62 Josh Myers C/G Ohio St

Protection for the franchise, whichever franchise,  is good.

My buddy the Niners fan was pissed because he wanted the Niners to take him.

The last time he said something like that to me was when the Packers drafted Davante Adams.

46th best prospect by ESPN. Hard not to like the  pick. Definitely fills a need

Yeah, I was going to say I bet we see Jenkins getting reps at RT.

don't forget the kids we drafted last year too, the redshirt kids.

IMO Jenkins will be LT until Bakh comes back, Turner RT

I won’t pretend to know much about this guy, but it sounds like he’s only been a true center for a couple years and really came on in 2020.  Here’s to hoping he can be something special.

He is a Packer type of guy.. He is a local kid where I live and I have a friend who knows him. By all accounts he a is a god kid and a an absolute weight room monster.  Big, hard working, and is a very physical guy.

Great value and fills a need

not gonna lie, kind of hoping it would be the kid from whitewater.  good  luck to this kid though!  snapping to AR, gonna be awesome

Does OSU have a better track record when it comes to Centers or QBs drafted into the NFL?

Asking for a friend who's a Bears fan.

Myers' footwork is sound, he gets good initial surge and he flashes a nasty demeanor in the run game. He gets set quickly and has the power in his punch to stall defenders in pass protection. He's not a natural knee bender, though, and doesn't play with great pad level. -- Steve Muench

Pad level problems are back!

Not to mention his knee bend issue.

We're fucked.

Packers on the clock.

Are you kidding me...the kid has choppy feet when drive blocking...we're screwed.

Plays C or G. I like this pick.

All the picks so far have filled a glaring need. Great draft so far (assuming all three can play).

The pre-draft write ups on this guy are hard to follow.  Most of what I read leads me to believe he'll step in his first season and hold down the starting center position well.  But most draft "experts" have him being overdrafted in the second round.  Doesn't really match up. 

If the write ups are accurate, we should have our starting center.  He's not a top tier athlete so isn't going to dominate one on one's or pull a whole lot but he's super tough, which to me is the most important thing in an interior OL.  And any limits he has as an athlete should be mitigate next to Jenkins. 

If I'm Rodgers, I have to like that Gute made getting a starting center a priority.  Coupled with trading up for a slot WR and he has to be at least a little happy, right? 

Listening to Andy Herman podcast this morning; said Meyers run-blocking score was significantly higher than Humphrey from Oklahoma, who was ahead of Myers on most boards. Looks like Meyers, Humphrey, & kid from Whitewater were very close, may have come down to scheme or personality preference.

Myers seems very intelligent and bright like Linsley. I imagine being flanked by veterans like Jenkins and Patrick/Runyan will help him, but Linsley stepped in early in his career and succeeded. Maybe he will have some issues with protection calls early in his career, but I think our run blocking just improved a lot.

Ohio State (other than QB) typically churns out good football players suited for the pros.

The important thing about OSU non-QBs is that they have high floors. Even AJ Hawk was a competent NFL LB. At worst they will be solid pros for years.

I think that him playing through a nasty foot injury says a lot about his character. He did not want to let the team down even if it hurt his draft stock. Someone said that he is tougher than a two dollar steak. That’s important because the season is a long one and players have to play with injuries. Also I think that I read that he was a science major and team captain so he has intelligence and leadership traits as well.

He’s gonna be good. Probably the only pick I think is pretty close to a sure thing. Amari Rodgers is 2nd.

While i liked the scouting report on Humphry better I'd bet the Packers talked to both and were more imprerssed with Meyers.

Larry McCarren interviewed him and Myers said he was super happy GB picked him, not just because it's the Packers, but because Green Bay is a small town.  Said he's not a city person so he says he feels like he is going to fit right into the culture of GB.  Not something you hear from most players.

Tough not to love Myers.  Good dude for sure.

Very encouraging story.

No offensive lineman had a higher overall grade at PFF during Week 1 of the preseason than Packers center Josh Myers. https://t.co/A4NjnEak6B

Number1 in preseason. Does he get a bonus for that?

Poor Viking fans, always thinking they're #1 in preseason.

According to former Packer Mark Tauscher on his radio show today, he believes that the Pack will have an open competition at C in 2023 due to disappointment with Meyers’ play.
