I think that's part of the ranking. Versatility & depth.
Which I admire the way Gute handled the loss of depth visible in that Niners loss with the free agent signing and the drafting of Monk, who I think is gonna be a good one.
Here's one from the 33rd Team, on the OL Masterminds Summit in Frisco TX
https://www.the33rdteam.com/ol...go-for-nfl-hopefuls/
"Unlike the traditional format, where a coach stands in front of the room teaching or sits in the back of the room grading tape, the OLM Summit is much more interactive.
If it wasn’t Hall of Famer Alan Faneca talking about his daily approach, it was Hall of Famer Steve Hutchinson breaking down why he was so effective throughout his career against the bull rush.
Next thing you know, All-Pro Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson is on the field demonstrating exactly what he is thinking in pass protection, from his stance to his get-off to his finish. Interestingly, Johnson was followed by Dolphins Pro Bowl left tackle Terron Armstead, who explained how he went about blocking elite edge rushers and why it was different from not only Johnson but also Jets left tackle Tyron Smith.
“Lane invites them into his chest and then stops their charge with the double under… whereas Tyron can just stick his one hand out and stop guys because he’s the strongest guy in the world…but I need to get something on them with a punch and then go to the double under.”
Armstead’s “strongest man in the world” comment regarding Smith drew laughs, but the broader takeaway for the attendees was an understanding that there is no one way to do things.
“It is nice for a young player to hear that there are different ways to go about it and different ways to block people,” said Schwartz. "
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The highlighted comments pertain to the Packers and how they teach pass pro in Titletown. That's why slightly shorter arms aren't a concern in GB, IF you have the quick feet for the tackle position.
This alignment seems to be gaining momentum:
Walker- Jenkins- Myers- Morgan- Tom
@RobDemovsky: Offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich on why first-round pick Jordan Morgan, a left tackle in college, is playing right guard: “When you look at the big picture where he would compete best this year for a starting role, we thought the right guard position was the spot.”

Interesting 🤔 Sean Rhyan not doing well? Or is he being pushed aside for a 1st rounder?
They're clearly giving Morgan every chance to earn a top 5 spot. Let's see if he does it.
What, so now "best player available" applies to the offensive line too?

Yep, I think it's GBP trying to find out if they can be better at RG sooner rather than later. They probably have a good idea of what Rhyan is and now want to find out if the rookie can be better THIS year.
And twice on Sundays.
It seems Jordan Morgan is in the lead for starting RG.
Wonder what they'll do with Sean Rhyan?
Possibly Jenkins at C and Sean Rhyan at LG??
Best 5 will start! 😎👍🏼
I don't get the sense the Packers are as urgent about replacing Meyers as others are.

Meyers missed the beginning of camp due to personal reasons. Jenkins to C was just an option I posted (IMO) if Meyers wasn't able to make it. Meyers' has been mediocre at C for his career. He'll probably be a lot better this year because the other 4 guys should be really good.
Walker certainly appears entrenched at LT.
From The Athletic
Based on the starting lineup vs CLE, veteran Andre Dillard looks to have the edge on Kadeem Telfort and Caleb Jones for the Packers’ swing tackle job. With regular starting right tackle Zach Tom not playing since he just returned to team drills following his rehab of a torn pectoral, Dillard started at right tackle.
The 2019 first-round pick of the Philadelphia Eagles began camp at that spot, but he was replaced by Telfort after a couple of days. It has been an ongoing battle to see which of the three can best provide insurance for Tom and left tackle Rasheed Walker.
I'm guessing it would be too much to ask rookie Morgan to be RG and swing tackle.
From Bill Huber:
Walker is the no-doubt-about-it starter at left tackle. He’s been so good at training camp that he’s become an afterthought. He’s dominated the one-on-ones and performed well during team drills on the practice field, and delivered a spotless three snaps against the Browns.

I've wondered the same thing. They could move Jenkins around if needed but you sure hate to do that.
I'd rather have a non starter be the 3rd OT... fewer moving parts and still get best 5 available. Especially keeping the inside static.
Time will tell.

Makes perfect sense -
And the coaches have to balance that sought-after continuity with the fact that Elgton Jenkins is a better LT than any of the back up OTs and that Jordan Morgan is likely a better RT than Dillard, Tenuta or Telfort.
If its the 4th quarter and they just need to get through the game is a different scenario than if they need to get through a quarter of a season. If its just the game, I think your call is spot on. If its gonna be a few games, the decision might be different.
Fortunately, MLF doesn't need to worry about it, he can always count on X4 to have all the right answers. 
They just showed an interview with Steno and he said that its unlikely they'll move Jordan Morgan to RT to cover for Zach Tom.
So that puts the onus back on Dillard, Tenuta, Jones or Telfort to win that key spot
More on Sean Rhyan here from Packers Wire
https://packerswire.usatoday.c...ng-right-guard-spot/
While Rhyan aimed to solidify his case as the starting right guard, he ended up making a strong impression with his performance at center.”
“I thought he did a good job,” offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich said Monday after reviewing the tape. “That’s not an easy thing. It’s pretty underrated being able to go out there and make the calls, snap the ball to the quarterback without any exchange issues, things like that…I was happy with what I saw.”
Gotta love the flattering photo they chose for Rhyan

That's him making the call at the line.
Showing off his Belly Fire Index.
Here's Rasheed Walker winning the starting LT spot.
I posted that during the season last year after Walker appeared to be the dude at LT. It was after a game where he embarrassed another rusher. Forgot what that was.
That's when he got over the hump.
Hat tip to Goalline -
He called the ascension of Rasheed Walker last season and Walker's even better this year. Really impressive work from RW protecting Love's blindside
I thought Morgan had a real chance to unseat Walker. I may one day be proven wrong about that.

I think Walker really took the drafting of Morgan like...."Oh yeah?!? 🖕🏼🤬🖕🏼....watch this!"
If RW turns into a pro bowl LT from the 7th round.....other teams will be so jealous.
The Niners already want like 4 of our receivers. They'll end up with Toure' 😃
Sure. Toure for Aiyuk. Might need a day two pick from SF as well.
WSJ with a story on Josh Myers losing his Father last season- a real gutpunch for Josh - and his Dad was a football player too
https://madison.com/sports/pro...c9-bf45e6fbd2e0.html
"Myers’ play was inconsistent early last season, although he never shared the battle his father was facing before or after his transplant. If that affected his play, Myers never let on.
But earlier this offseason, line coach Luke Butkus and offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich, a former line coach himself, both emphasized how Myers improved during the second half of last year."
“He did get better as the year went on and he had command of this offense and took charge, was a little bit more vocal toward the end in commanding this offense,” Butkus said.
And now, while he would much, much prefer to look up into the stands and see his dad cheering him on, Myers is vowing to dedicate this season to him.
“Absolutely. He was every step of the way,” Myers said.
“And I’m going to do everything I can to make him proud this year.”
Best wishes to Josh and his Family
WOW! That might really explain his poor first half performance. I'm sure he was just like....."fuck this game". I'm glad he seems to have moved forward.
Maybe we'll see "Dwight Stephenson" performance this year! 
It may still take him a couple of games to really get back into the flow. I think it hits harder when the year first starts. Sports is pretty small when it comes to something like this.
We got to see what it looks like when you swap out all 5 OL starters, not good
But fortunately, that will never happen. You might have to swap out 2 guys in a game, but that's about it. Otherwise, you're putting in just 1 back up and surrounding him with talent. Teams can manage that pretty well.
I think the Packers are settling on Dillard as the swing tackle, none of the other guys has really shown much to give the coaches confidence in their ability to step in.
6th rounder, Glover looks like a guy who will have a mystery injury next week, sending him to season-long IR so he can re-make his body, learn some technique and come back in 25 to compete for a spot.
I'm guessing Glover goes to the PS at best.
