Great Job For Packers Head Coach As He Still Acquired Another Top Star Replacement…
The Green Bay Packers have almost no choice but to part ways with David Bakhtiari this offseason, though the franchise should have multiple options in its attempt to replace him.
Kristopher Knox of Bleacher Report on Tuesday, February 20, authored a “dream trade scenario” for Green Bay that involves moving up in April’s NFL draft and selecting an elite-level prospect to replace Bakhtiari in the offensive line’s most important slot.If the Packers ultimately choose to move on from Bakhtiari, trading up for a top tackle prospect like Notre Dame’s Joe Alt or Penn State’s Olumuyiwa Fashanu would make a ton of sense. Of course, moving up from 25th overall to do it won’t be easy. Alt and Fashanu are the fifth- and sixth-ranked prospects on the Bleacher Report Scouting Department’s draft board, respectively.If there is an early run on quarterbacks, though, Alt and/or Fashanu could fall out of the top 10. It would still leave Green Bay in need of a huge jump, but a trade might be manageable. … This would still be an expensive trade, but Alt and Fashanu are elite tackle prospects who could solidify Green Bay’s left tackle spot for the next decade or more.
