It took until the first pick of the fifth round in the 2018 NFL Draft, but the Green Bay Packers finally landed an offensive lineman who can help improve the depth on the right side of the line. That pick is Washington State’s Cole Madison, a college right tackle who will start out playing guard in Green Bay.
The position switch was made clear from comments by the Packers’ director of college scouting, Jon-Eric Sullivan. He said that the team likes Madison’s “position versatility” but that guard will be the place he begins for now.
