With some uncertainty on the offensive line entering OTAs Josh Jackson Jersey , these four groups look like the most plausible starting fives for the Packers in week one."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections The APC PodcastPackers Film RoomFantasy Football AdviceCDTShareTweetShareShareBreaking down the Packers’ possible starting offensive lines for week oneKim Klement-USA TODAY SportsFor the better part of the past two decades, the Green Bay Packers’ starting offensive line has been a sure thing, at least during offseason workouts. Rarely has the team drafted a player on the line with the immediate intent being for him to start in week one.In fact, this has arguably never happened under Ted Thompson’s leadership. Even the team’s two first-round offensive linemen during Thompson’s tenure — Bryan Bulaga and Derek Sherrod — were backups to start their rookie years. In fact, the only two draft picks who started as rookies did so as a result of injuries. David Bakhtiari took over at left tackle for Bulaga after a torn ACL shut him down for the 2013 season, while Corey Linsley stepped in for JC Tretter in 2014 at center in the final preseason game and never looked back. Of course, both have put themselves squarely in the top tier of players at their positions in the league as a result of their play.However, last season saw uncertainty at the right guard position at this time of the year, and there is little consensus on who the week one starter will be in 2019 as well. Beyond that, there are some other moving parts that could change the approach for this line, and there is a non-zero chance that as many as three new starters could be in the lineup this fall. With new personnel like free agent Billy Turner and second-round pick Elgton Jenkins joining recently-returned Cole Madison, the Packers have a multitude of talented, if unproven options for various spots on the line. Let’s take a look at some different combinations that could end up being the Packers’ starting five when they play the Bears in week one to begin the 2019 campaign.Bakhtiari — Taylor — Linsley — Turner — BulagaFor now, given the investment in these players, this looks like the most plausible scenario if everyone is healthy through training camp. Bulaga remains the starter at right tackle — after all, he’s still an excellent player when uninjured — while the team sticks it out with Lane Taylor for another year at left guard.Then, the investment in Turner in free agency results in him winning the competition to start at right guard, though he would likely be the first man up at right tackle if and when Bulaga goes down.This is a line long on experience JK Scott Jersey , but with some question marks outside of Bakhtiari and Linsley. For Taylor, the fundamental question is whether he is athletic enough to fit in with Matt LaFleur’s offense. Turner is a more athletic player, but the question becomes whether he is a better fit at guard or tackle. And as always, Bulaga needs to stay healthy. Still, this unit gives the Packers the best depth, with Elgton Jenkins and some combination of Jason Spriggs, Lucas Patrick, Cole Madison, Justin McCray, Alex Light, and Adam Pankey contributing.Bakhtiari — Taylor — Linsley — Jenkins — BulagaLet’s say that Jason Spriggs plays his way off the roster. That could mean that the Packers prepare Turner to play tackle full-time and open up the right guard spot for a full competition. Jenkins, by virtue of his athleticism and high level of play in college, is probably the best bet, though Madison and Patrick look to be candidates as well. This leaves Turner as a pricey swing tackle, backing up both bookends in 2019 before presumably taking over for Bulaga in 2020 when the veteran’s contract expires. However, it requires less shuffling if there is an injury, as each position (aside from center) has a plug-and-play backup.Bakhtiari — Taylor — Linsley — Jenkins — TurnerWhether due to injury or due to an unexpected change in approach to Bulaga’s roster status, this setup is a possibility as well. See above Rashan Gary Green Bay Packers Jersey , but Turner takes over at right tackle a year earlier than expected.Still, the Packers seem to value Bulaga highly, so the gap on the roster created by cutting him seems like it will not be worth the $6.5 million in cap room such a move would free up.Bakhtiari — Jenkins — Linsley — Turner — BulagaHere’s where things could get really interesting. Taylor has two years left on his contract, but the structure is such that the Packers would get some cap relief if they were to cut him loose. If LaFleur simply doesn’t feel that he’s a fit and if Jenkins and Madison look ready to be major contributors right away, this could be an option.The athleticism on this line is very impressive, and the 2020 line that would project to have Madison and Turner on the right side looks even better. But for the upcoming season, moving on from Taylor seems like a move that would be difficult for the Packers to accommodate.Then again, they did this very thing in 2016 when Ted Thompson released Josh Sitton at final cuts with Taylor waiting in the wings. It would be some impressive symmetry if a similar situation hits Taylor three years later.The projections above tend to assume that Jenkins is the next option behind Turner at guard. However, Patrick’s starting experience, Madison’s athleticism, and McCray’s tenacity could earn them the job over the rookie. In that case, Jenkins would almost certainly be the primary backup at all three interior spots. Note also that Jenkins likely becomes the Packers’ insurance policy at center from day one — as an experienced and successful college center, he is almost certainly the player who would be tasked to deliver the football to Aaron Rodgers should anything happen to Linsley.Retooled Packers bring excitement for possible redemption in 2018 Every season brings renewed excitement and vigor in an NFL team, players returning from offseason work feeling better than ever and coaches coming with scheme tweaks they’re sure will push their team to the next level. Over the better part of the last decade, the P Green Bay Packers have returned each July believing they were just fingertips away from getting their hands on the Lombardi trophy. That was literally true in 2014 (We’re looking at you, Brandon Bostick). But 2018 brought substantive, even paradigmatic changes to the organization. Mark Murphy quite literally overhauled the structure of the Packers flow chart and replaced Ted Thompson with Brian Gutekunst. Mike McCarthy turned over both his major coordinators, ousting Dom Capers in favor of Mike Pettine and bringing Joe Philbin back into the fold. Every time Pettine holds a press conference Rashan Gary Jersey 2019 , he finds a new way to impress. To a man, the Packers defense feels energized by the leadership change and the word “accountability” has been ever-present in any discussion about the unit. Filling the leadership vacuum with Pettine and a veteran like Tramon Williams may be just as essential in turning around this defense as any personnel changes. But Gutekunst prioritized youth and athleticism on that side of the ball as well. After shipping off Damarious Randall, Gutekunst added two first-round talents at cornerback, while netting an extra first-round pick in 2019. Jaire Alexander worked his way into the starting group before an injury and a strong preseason may just bust down the doors for Josh Jackson to join him there. Second-year cornerback Kevin King shined before his own injury, but his return to the field should be a reminder of the team’s caution with injuries, not King’s propensity to get hurt. Had this been the regular season, we already know King will play through the pain. His battles with Davante Adams in camp have been among the highlights of the preseason work. Speaking of injury, the Packers head into the season with 10 of 11 preferred starters on defense healthy, the lone exception being Jake Ryan. Rookie Oren Burks may even have won that job—or at least extended playing time—given how he’s looked in the exhibition games. It’s possible the most talented 11 players will be starting, particularly as Nick Perry comes off the PUP list. Even just a replacement level defensive coordinator should spur significant improvement from this group and Pettine has a track record of being well above that bar.On offense, the Packers should have a full compliment of offensive starters healthy for the start of the season as long as Justin McCray’s ankle injury heals as planned and Bryan Bulaga stays on track. Aaron Jones would be the lone exception, but he may not even have been the preferred starter and his absence will be a suspension not an injury. Oh, and nearly 500 words into this, we haven’t even mentioned Green Bay returns the best player in the league, the two-time MVP, and an All-World quarterback capable of carrying teams the way no other player in the league can. Aaron Rodgers looked back to his old tricks in the preseason, already building a connection with his new toys. Jimmy Graham caught on quickly (no pun intended), and already looks like he’s running downhill in this offense. Meanwhile Color Rush Rashan Gary Jersey , Davante Adams should make the leap to star receiver status this season, having already shown himself to be one of the best route runners and after-the-catch players in the game. This is opportunity to prove himself and from what we’ve seen the last two years plus, he’s absolutely ready for it. Whether the offense actually looks any difference remains to be seen, but the preseason brought more spread formations, more four-wide looks, more personnel groupings, and formational versatility and creativity. It’s hard to see a more adaptable group of skill players in the league between the backfield, receivers and tight end group. This skill group is so deep, in fact, the question in camp right now is how can the Packers fit all these guys onto one roster? None of this makes the Packers locks for the Super Bowl. There’s no such thing. But there’s reason to believe the team has taken steps to address the failings that subverted their championship chances in the past. Schematic stagnation addressed with new coaches. Lack of leadership and veteran presence addressed with free agents and coaching culture. Last of speed and athletic ability addressed with freaky draft class. The process was sound, an exciting notion in itself. Will it translate to wins? We’ll have to wait and see but the excitement should be there. Green Bay is doing this the right way, setting about to fix the institutional problems as well as the micro issues that creep up on every team. Plus, they still have Aaron Rodgers and he’s pissed off he missed a chance to win a Super Bowl last season in a wide open NFC. What else do you need to be excited?
