Even with David Bakhtiari’s injury, the Packers may already have an in-house plan at tackle

The Green Bay Packers are the friend in every friend group who wants to spend an hour researching the best taco places before ordering dinner. They’re relentless planners, always thinking about the next move. They treat roster building like Marvel treats moviemaking. The roster in 2021 has a very direct relationship to the one in 2023 and it helps to map that out in order to make decisions in the moment. This indefatigable prioritization of the future often leads to criticism of their handling of the present. See: Love, Jordan.

This is particularly evidence at offensive line, yet with Billy Turner entering Year 3 of the four-year contract and David Bakhtiari injured, the Packers have eschewed a longer-term view of tackle with their drafts.
