[QUOTE="Thirteen Below, post: 1033988, member: 18006"] Bulaga, Walker, and Tom all have/had arms 33 1/4 or shorter. And even though Tom has 1/2 inch longer arms, Morgan has a full inch on Tom in wingspan because of his larger frame - 81 3/8 as opposed to 80 3/8. Gutekunst sounds very confident that Morgan's arms are long enough to do the job; and like a lot of us longtime Cheeseheads, I've leraned to trust Green Bay's approach to OL more than conventional wisdom. The proof's been in the pudding for 30 years or more, and especially since Ted Thompson developed his quintessential model for selecting and developing linemen in the early 2000s. Gutekunst still credits Ted for the Packers' success with offensive linemen, saying that Ted laid down a template for drafting and devlolping OL and it still seems to work just fine. I'm sure Gute has tweaked it a time or two, and deviated from it somewhat on at least a few occasions on a case by case basis, but like with Colonel Sanders, the original recipe is still the baseline. It's hard to think off the top of my head of more than a couple of teams in the league that'd be a better landing spot for an OL who needs some development work. I'll bet there are a lot of college OL who sit there watching the draft, and when Green Bay's turn comes cross their fingers and say "oh please oh please oh please..." This is a tremendous investment, perfect pick at that spot for Green Bay. And the best break that kid ever got in his life; probably the one team in the NFL with the greatest likelihood of developing him at his own pace into a legtit starter or even franchise QB. Green Bay obviously liked something about him early on; they reportedly met with him at thhe combine, visited South Florida's pro day, and of course had him up early on for a Top 30 visit. Sounds like they think there's really something there they can work with and develop. [/QUOTE]
