i guess it is possible that mark is correct and he is overrated.

I think Tom is a bit of a PFF darling and he is better liked by fans/media than NFL people. Honestly the contract reflects it, $22m is fair for everyone. He’s GBs best OL and it’s good to keep him, but it’s not market-resetting money.

honest opinion: if the packers had left jenkins at left tackle, would he have been better than walker?

It’s hard to tell, I think they tried Jenkins at LT when he was coming off his ACL injury, so I don’t think we saw the best of him. I do think his best position overall is LG. Walker is a good LT. He’s playable. You want to do better but you can also do worse. Ideally I think he’s your backup swing tackle but he might make more than Tom on the open market.
 
Unfortunately, Green Bay's Offensive Line really helped Love with his Sunday cardiac workouts. Our best offensive lineman, is only that, our best. He isn't somebody eles's best - and might not be somebody else's starter.

I'm hoping I'm wrong on Tom.

I think we're going to have a problem with Jenkins. And, I was surprised that Center was less valued than Guard. Aren't Centers responsible for line calls. I think great Centers are far more difficult to find than guards.

Oh well. Hope this works out.

You can make a great guard out of a tackle but center seems to be one of those very specific positions where you want a guy who played center to be your center, and positional flexibility is less important. They took Jenkins over Eric McCoy (a true center); then took Myers over Creed Humphrey (a true center). You can’t say Jenkins was a miss because he has not been at all, but McCoy has been a hit as a center in new orleans.

I think that's a bit of a generalization.... What scheme are you playing - gap, zone, or a mix of both? All that factors in. GB has had a bit of a hard-on for the multi-position type OL. You can argue for and against that.

To be blunt there hasn't been a Lombardi put in the trophy case for a long while. Right now I lean toward Kegs viewpoint ..... we are just good enough....just good enough isn't good enough to win it all. That's the goal.
