Would Broderick Jones Fit on the Packers?
GM Brian Gutekunst loves his Georgia players. However, he has never gone with an offensive player from Georgia. This could be the year as many Georgia prospects are likely to be available when the Packers are on the clock. The projections have Jones available for the Packers. The offensive line is an area of need in the draft. Getting an offensive lineman in the first round never feels exciting but it can go a long way to helping a team.
Check Out Another Georgia Prospect That Could Fit For the Packers
Jones is a very realistic pick for the Packers. If Jones could move to right tackle and play well, the offensive line could have David Bakhtiari and Elgton Jenkins on one side with Jones and Jon Runyan Jr. on the other. This seems like a formidable line with maybe Jones becoming the future left tackle depending on what happens with Bakhtiari. If Jones is still on the board, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Packers go with Jones.
