Looks like a guard project to me.
Guys we do a lot of thinking but TT and Co. do a lot of knowing. I suspect that if Derrick Sherrod's recovery didn't look good at this point that they they would have A) selected an OT earlier and B) selected an OT that projected better at the position than Tretter/Bakhtiari. RIght now Teddy is using his bevvy of late picks to shore up depth at critical parts of the roster. I'm expecting him to add some secondary help and maybe a wide body for the D-line.
Will compete for one of the starting tackle spots immediately imo. Newhouse is terrible and i think sherrod will never be the same. Same kind of build as bulaga with the short arms however tough enough to play inside.
I don't know if that's particularly true. The run on offensive tackles didn't allow the Packers to select an offensive tackle earlier. Five higher rated offensive tackles, as well as Kyle Long who projects as a tackle, were all drafted by pick #20. The only way the Packers could have selected a tackle earlier would have been to trade up.
CBS Sportsline has Bakhtiari rated as the eight best tackle in the draft this year.

CBS also rated him as a 2-3 round grade. GB could have selected him with the team's second pick and could have selected him in the 3rd. That GB waited until the 4th round to select him suggests to be that GB grabbed him for his value at that spot, and not because the team views tackle as an urgeant need.
