2022 Pick Zach Tom #140

[tynimiller]

Yes yes yes!!!!!

This guy is a freaking favorite of mine as you all know!

Homerun at this spot IMO.

 

[Sanguine camper]

Tom will be a valuable back up at center and guard. He replaces the role that Lucas Patrick had with the team. Drafting a guy that is strictly C or OG provides more evidence that Jenkins is a tackle from now on. The Packers will have Runyon, Tom, Ryhan and Royce Newman at Guard and Bahktiari, Jenkins, Nijman and Ryhan at OT. Myers at Center. Looks like 8 of the 9 o line positions on the 53 man roster are pretty well set.

 

[Dantés]

This guy could legitimately become a starting nfl tackle. The length and movement skills are there. He completely shut down Jermaine Johnson. Zero pressures allowed in 51 passing snaps.

He's built and he moves an awful lot like David Bakhtiari.

Stellar pick.

 

[Schultz]

Van,Hansen, Menet compete for that last spot.

 

[Dantés]

6'4" 304 lbs
33.25" arms, 10.5" hands, 80.5" wing

4.94 forty (95th%)
1.70 ten split (93rd%)
33" vertical (93rd%)
118" broad (98th%)
4.47 shuttle (95th%)
7.32 three cone (92nd%)

 

[GleefulGary]

That shuttle time almost never fails (curse you Spriggs).

 

[Dantés]

I honestly can't understand why Tom was there in the 4th round.

I was shocked we picked Doubs instead of him…I predicted we’d take him in third in the contest. Dude is a versatile stud

 

[OldSchool101]

I always like the stocking of versatile OL. As I said just before the draft, one of the biggest factors of 2021 was our decimated OL. I’m actually surprised we functioned as well as we did with up to 4 replacements in there at one point.
Our Running game suffered tremendously. We now have 2 very capable Blockers in Rhyan and Zack Tom.

Sean Rhyan is our answer for Billy Turner (31yrs)

Zach Tom is an answer for Lucas Patrick (29yrs in July)

Both draftees combined to save us $4.5M when Compared to the $6.5m combined annual contracts Lucas Patrick and Billy signed in Chicago /Denver. Those guys gave us good effort, but it was time to move on.

 

[GleefulGary]

Tom could potentially be the answer for everybody, lol. I think at minimum he can be a super sub for every position.

I said this a ways before the draft, but he’s very reminiscent of Bakhtiari to me. If he could be half of that, huge win.

He’s more Jenkins than Bakh to me but I agree wholeheartedly

Oh I don’t agree with that. Jenkins never really had anybody questioning his size or strength, Bakh and Tom both did. Tom’s role may end up more similar to what Jenkins has done, but coming out of college he’s more similar to Bakh.

Eh just don’t question it as much as some, but to be fair I’ve tooted his horn way more than most so I could be tick bias. Either way I’ll take being wrong cuz he still ends up very good most likely lol

You’ll have to ask me if you can join the Tom fan club. You can expect a 50 question quiz shortly after applying.

Sounds to me like he is our 2022 version of the great Don Barclay! And that's good!

Rodgers was the main reason the offensive line performed as well as they did in 2021.

36 snaps this preseason for Tom...zero sacks allowed....ZERO PRESSURES allowed.

I think Tom is better at this point than Royce Newman. I hope MLF has learned from his past debacles in the playoffs to put the best five offensive linemen on the field. While 36 snaps is still a relatively small sample size, he's looking like he's taking after Jenkins and needs to be starting.

 

[tynimiller]

Tom ended the 2022 Preseason with 75 snaps at RT and 49 at LG....ZERO pressures allowed in 75 passing plays in those.

He finished with the 5th highest PFF pass blocking grade in the preseason....only blemish was one holding call.
