of the Packet A Podcast I'm your Host Any Harmony
1:41
file me on Twitter at any Herman Nfl they so
1:43
much for Been here today. it's a little bit after
1:46
around once of place obviously did the full livestream so
1:48
if you want to get my initial got reactions you
1:50
can go back and listen to that but wanted to
1:52
take a couple seconds to let the picked I just
1:54
a little bit digits a little bit of research and
1:56
then sort of put my initial reaction to the pick
1:58
up. So here we go. What's your been right
2:01
away. I'll do a much deeper dive on tomorrow
2:03
show and start going over what options Green Bay
2:05
had and what they could look forward to in
2:07
day to and although sort of things. but this
2:09
is just gonna be my quick initial study Reported
2:11
reaction to the Jordy Morgan selection so. Obviously
2:14
office of I'm in Arizona are very telling
2:16
that they announced him as an offensive tackle
2:18
and if you have you sort of and
2:20
paying attention to the process. What?
2:22
Have we been saying all along. Green. Bay
2:24
Values high end players at premium
2:26
positions and office to tackle as
2:28
one of those premium positions. Jordy
2:31
Morgan fits everything that they look
2:33
for. It's why when we did
2:35
that to round mock draft the other day,
2:37
Jordy Morgan was the peg. It's why number
2:39
two on my motives and twenty five most
2:41
likely Packer airplay or picks to be a
2:43
Green Bay Packers Jordan more than it's why
2:46
on my short list of players that either
2:48
stain or if they traded back, Jordan Morgan
2:50
is a player that screamed off the page.
2:52
Whether you like him or you don't like
2:54
them or anything in between, he screamed Green
2:57
Bay Packers Six Five Three Eleven, Nine Point
2:59
Two Four. Relative athletic score. Although he did
3:01
not to the agility testing, ninety two percent
3:03
of. Your athlete at the position at
3:05
often to tackle again despite not doing
3:08
arm the the agility testing. And
3:10
my opinion, if you watch him on tape the
3:13
agility great. I don't have any questions about the
3:15
edge of your the agility only Cooper to Gene
3:17
for example. If. If you know
3:19
that eve when he does he do the agility
3:21
testing. There's a legitimate questions as like how would
3:23
he have tested This is a lot. A straight
3:25
line speed and not always the twitching this from
3:28
the gene and you wonder I like did he
3:30
not do it because he would have tested poorly.
3:32
I don't have that same level of beer which
3:34
order Morgan when I watch him on the tape
3:36
season. Extremely clean mover. He can change directions. I
3:38
have zero concern over that whatsoever. Clearly
3:41
Green Bay felt the same way because the agility
3:43
that are testing is one of the key indicators
3:45
as to whether or not they usually take a
3:48
guy on anywhere at along the Office of Wine,
3:50
much less in the first round. So again, I
3:52
would not have any concern about the lack
3:54
of agility testing. The agility looks fantastic on tape
3:56
he twenty two years old. he turned twenty
3:58
three in August. Again and usually day
4:01
of draft they take twenty two were younger
4:03
what she was twenty two years old. I'm
4:05
it's tough you know again if he meant
4:07
meets Olive Green Bay's thresholds at the office
4:09
of one position without doing the agility tough
4:11
seen over his everything else except one thing.
4:14
This is the one thing I pointed out prior
4:16
to the draft of wood. Green Bay make a
4:18
little bit of an exception here. He.
4:20
Does not have thirty three inch arms. That
4:22
has been sort of the cut off point
4:25
for Green Bay when they've taken off and
4:27
of tackles in the past. He is just
4:29
underneath they are. Ah, what's thirty two inch
4:31
arms? Yeah, thirty two and seven eighths. To.
4:34
Thirty two and seven eighths in arms over an
4:36
eighth of an inch away. so he basically had
4:38
that to have been real estate year. But other
4:41
than that again, we don't know the agility testing
4:43
so we can complete that full profile. But assuming,
4:45
like I said earlier, Green Bay felt good about
4:47
the agility overall, which they should based on the
4:50
tape. Again, outside of the one eighth of an
4:52
inch arms, his everything along the offensive line that
4:54
they look for. Also played
4:56
at the Senior Bowl. Something that Green Bay
4:59
has had a propensity of drafting players from
5:01
is the senior bowl nut spend a trend
5:03
of there's as well and then the big
5:05
word versatility. I. Swear to
5:08
you on everything. When. I ask
5:10
brain dude against. What? He was
5:12
let you know at at often to tackle I
5:14
said me a what about these big offensive tackles
5:16
the i'm. Tyler. Guidance and
5:18
the Way Thumbs and the A Marius memes and
5:20
his initial response was yeah we like bigger, faster,
5:22
stronger and he went on a little bit more
5:25
in his answer and he could have ended at
5:27
their i talked about the see other days but
5:29
he didn't. He. Went on to say. But
5:31
we really value versatility and we had a
5:33
lot of success Drafting versatile often sublime it
5:36
in the past, and we plan on continuing
5:38
to do that moving forward. When
5:40
he said that in my mind. I
5:42
immediately went that's sorta Martin like to hit
5:45
that is Jordan Morgan and I'm so mad
5:47
odd that I didn't have him as my
5:49
official prediction. I will with Guyton, But as
5:51
I mentioned, all long this is a player
5:53
that screams off as a potential Green Bay
5:55
Packers. and clearly it's Green Bay. Liked what
5:58
they saw. This is a player that. The
6:00
would have expected them to like based on all
6:02
the traits all the testing on the tape will
6:04
get into a just the moment but on everything.
6:06
Else on what they look for, this is it.
6:09
From. A Pff Same points in Twenty nine
6:11
senior ninety four snaps of. The Find: Fifty
6:13
nine Point One grade And twenty twenty one hundred
6:15
and forty seven snaps of the forty seven point
6:17
Four grade. Twenty. Twenty One, Seven
6:19
Hundred and Six snaps. Of the fifty three point
6:22
one grade source for three years bit of a
6:24
show specifically that Thirty Right as a first two
6:26
were basically just spot planes. I'm here in there.
6:28
And Twenty Twenty One again, seven hundred and six
6:30
naps. Of the fifty three point One grade, I
6:32
was a bit of a struggle. They comes back,
6:34
and twenty Twenty two, six. Hundred and Seventy snaps
6:36
As and Eighty three. Point One Grade, then had
6:39
a torn a Cel. comes back in twenty
6:41
Twenty three right away and plays seven hundred
6:43
and eighty seven snaps and played better. Eighty
6:45
three, Point Five Grade, and Twenty Twenty Three.
6:49
As twelve career penalties for in twenty
6:51
Twenty Three, a Pff credit him with
6:53
only three sacks over the past two
6:55
years on over nine hundred pass blocking
6:57
snaps. Since. Zeus or three three
7:00
sacks in nine hundred pass block snaps
7:02
so one out of every three hundred
7:04
pass. Pro. Snaps in college in the
7:07
last two years. Sorting Morgan gave up
7:09
a pressure a sack on excuse me
7:11
He gave up thirty one total pressures
7:13
in those last two seasons. again on
7:16
nine over nine hundred pass protection snapped
7:18
so again, still very good numbers. There
7:20
and then had a ninety seven percent or
7:22
ninety seven point eight percent pass. Block
7:24
Efficiency and Twenty Twenty Two and Ninety
7:27
Eight Point Three and Twenty Twenty Three
7:29
both very good numbers. To. Time
7:31
team captain including this past season. Coaches
7:34
are according to a variety of scouts
7:36
arm and are Dame Brewery no mention
7:38
this is Wealth Coaches spoke extremely highly
7:40
of him. He was in the weight
7:42
room constantly, was considered a leader on
7:44
the team obviously which again translates and
7:46
been a two time captain. I.
7:48
Know brand new to can spoken his press
7:50
conference about the ability to recover from that
7:52
a cel play through it. He thought like
7:54
hey, he's probably going to come back and
7:56
struggle. Bet ya at the beginning of twenty
7:58
Twenty Three and for duty. The not and I
8:00
a again you have to give him credit for to
8:02
been able to come back so quick and then just
8:05
really place and a pretty high level right away coming
8:07
back from that torn a cel injury. He's.
8:09
Been a starter at left tackle. That's another thing
8:11
that Green Bay looks for. It's not just necessarily
8:13
the versatility, but they love those players that are
8:15
plain the most premium position on the offensive line
8:18
which is usually considered left tackle. If you can
8:20
play their, it means your Office of Wine put
8:22
a lot interesting you. I talked about Calais Mckinstry
8:24
I when I broke down his film and I
8:26
said one of the things that you have to
8:28
recognize is that there are some rough. Tape.
8:31
From Koolaid Mckinstry. One
8:33
of the reasons there is that ruff tape
8:36
is because Alabama trusted him wholeheartedly. They put
8:38
him on an island, they put him in
8:40
man to man coverage, and they said good
8:42
luck. And. They knew he was going to get
8:44
beat sometimes, but they knew that a lot of times we can.
8:46
Serious or yeah, Mckinstry was gonna win one on
8:48
one and they gave him that assignment and they
8:50
trusted them and he got the job done more
8:53
often than not see have the great of with
8:55
the understanding of they put him in poor positions
8:57
and more often than not he still succeeded. So.
8:59
Yes, there's going to be some bad of unsafe
9:02
and it's a little bit of a similarity here
9:04
which already morgan that they trusted him on an
9:06
island at left Tackle. They didn't help. I'm a
9:08
ton Whoever he was going against late to arm
9:10
trace it didn't matter, they put him on that
9:12
island and they let him pass. Pro. And
9:14
they'd they'd The fact that they trusted them in
9:16
put him at that premium position. I think Green
9:19
Bay value that it's on as well. The other
9:21
thing here's the Packers love these type of players
9:23
and they've had a huge track. Record over
9:25
the years of taking these ultra athletic
9:27
tackles in college and in figuring out
9:29
where they fit in the Nfl. I
9:32
think it is noteworthy that they. Have announced him
9:34
as a tackle or Bill Belichick I'm
9:37
spoke extremely highly of him after the
9:39
picked by Green Bay and said he's
9:41
really smart player really like them and
9:43
said he's a left tackle. He. Said
9:45
he he didn't think there's any question about that. That
9:47
he is a left tackle. That's interesting
9:49
because you do have received Walker there.
9:52
So how does that play out? That.
9:54
Five Guys. I. Think that yeah,
9:56
maybe toward him Organ plays left tackle long
9:58
term? Maybe he plays. Right tackle. Maybe eventually
10:01
goes over. There may be this year you let
10:03
Morgan sort of be the swing guy. What will
10:05
get to that more? Just a moment. But as
10:07
far as Bill Belichick was concerned, who knows a
10:09
few things about football. In the offensive line. He
10:12
saw him as a left tackle. And didn't think
10:14
there's any question about that whatsoever. So whether
10:16
he's a young the guard, versatility and whether
10:19
you'll eventually as to move and we shall
10:21
see but Bill Belichick viewed him specifically as
10:23
a tackle. Here was my study reported this
10:25
is my scouting report not influence than anything
10:27
else prior to the draft arm and you
10:29
can again this is may even go back
10:32
and watch the Odd Young live draft show
10:34
and I gave this right away so this
10:36
is not been altered in any way. This.
10:38
Is my are again real scouting report of
10:40
him prior to the draft. Clean mover in
10:43
the run game can get to a spots
10:45
and worse really well in his own scheme
10:47
which is what the Packers run especially. As
10:49
a backside blocker also could be elite as
10:51
a polar and I think you will need
10:53
to play garden. The Nfl. I was just
10:55
my opinion again breaking them down. Initially everything is
10:58
a little bit broken. He's going to need to
11:00
get reworked from the ground up. His hands need
11:02
work is placement is outside it's on which can
11:04
lead to more holding. Penalties is had drops.
11:06
That's something that he really needs to clean
11:08
up. That's an easy fix. So, but that's
11:11
something that you work on. balance, You work
11:13
on keeping everything. Forward and up and
11:15
not in a get down and your stance
11:17
plane with better leverage, but he will drop
11:20
his head When you drop your had. You're
11:22
susceptible to a variety of different movies. Are
11:24
young, pulls off balance, everything. I'm. You.
11:27
His footwork needs a lot of work. He has a
11:29
very clean over the as. Fast feet so
11:31
these traits are there for the for
11:33
work but where he places his feet
11:35
in this position in these a lot
11:37
of cleaning up and overall it just
11:39
needs a much better level of technique
11:41
and work. Overall he is susceptible to
11:43
towners bull his speed russia's and he
11:45
really lacks any consistency and past for
11:47
whatsoever. Now again, the from an efficiency
11:49
standpoint, how many sacks the allowed, there's
11:51
good numbers there. Are Mike Wall
11:54
actually was talking about him and talked about
11:56
how you know there's a little bar tauscher
11:58
to him and he's a one hundred. Rak.
12:01
A. What that means is Kosher wasn't always
12:03
the sexiest plane the position, but he
12:05
got the job done. And. It
12:07
wasn't always the exact technique you wanted, was always the
12:09
right foot work with us but see found a way
12:11
to just make sure that he was in between the
12:14
you know defender in his quarterback. And
12:16
there's a little bit of that was already Morgan where
12:18
you watch it From a technical standpoint. I like to
12:20
have their this a lot of work here but then
12:22
again you sort of go back at the end of the
12:24
tape you're like aren't like he didn't allow lot of sacks,
12:26
not a lot of pressures is. A lot of things you
12:28
would have liked him to do better but at the end of
12:30
the day's gonna say like job done. But I
12:32
do think there's a lot of technical work there
12:34
again that needs to be put in for more
12:36
than he is not a physical mover in the
12:39
run game is more fun as player or he
12:41
does show some upside their meaning specifically I'm back
12:43
Tom backside blocks yeah you will see him get
12:45
a load them or physical. Oh be more aggressive,
12:47
those are the easier ones. To do, but I do
12:49
see a little bit of that tenacity. Their from time
12:51
to time it shows up in spurts are but I
12:53
do think again he's more of up for Nasrallah are
12:55
blocker at this time and you want to see it's
12:57
a little bit more that nasty, a little bit more
12:59
that aggressiveness specifically in the run game be a little
13:01
bit more of a mover, but again he's in a
13:03
zone blocking scheme and he's gonna probably be a little
13:05
bit more that furnace offensive lineman. Traits.
13:08
Wise, there is a lot to
13:10
like and. He easily looks the
13:12
part. Maybe. The move inside will
13:14
benefit him enough and that those as the big thing
13:17
here is when you just turn on the tape and
13:19
you look at your to Morgan had. Funny Mike
13:21
Wall said the exact same thing to have.
13:23
like he's not gonna look employer. He.
13:25
Looks like yeah that he looks like an
13:27
Nfl offensive tackle. you just be a picture
13:29
me or like edges gonna fit their easily
13:31
only watch him like there's this desire of
13:33
like all three just put it together because
13:35
when you see I'm like play well it
13:38
looks really good but insists so freakin' inconsistent.
13:40
ah I'm in a like is that it
13:42
all the traits are there. he looks the
13:44
part and whether or not that move inside
13:46
the whether he needs. It. I do always
13:48
like the fact that that's an option. meaning
13:50
hey, we can start him at tackle. Left
13:52
tackle. Right tackle that doesn't work. Out you
13:54
still have out, he still have options and
13:56
left guard, right guard would be some potential
13:58
options. Well we know how much. Guti values
14:00
that versatility and give us big thing that he
14:02
said when I asked him about those big offensive
14:05
tackles. Nom. I said he's
14:07
going to be a project and I just worry that
14:09
he's going to come in and struggle right away and
14:11
teams are going to struggle to get him in
14:13
the right path and he just and up floundering as
14:15
a backup offensive lineman for his career. This is
14:17
a very noteworthy one that I think is a really
14:20
important one to take away here. Buckeyes. Seem.
14:22
Fit matters for Jordy Morgan a
14:24
lot. And Green
14:27
Bay's a very good team Fit form say

17:19
of has just lost the respect of
17:22
the youth league football team he causes.
17:24
He was asked what New England should
17:26
do in the draft and his answer
17:29
was subjectively terrible. The Athletic just wrote
17:31
a great article about this, but Still
17:33
Of doesn't have the Athletic for the
17:35
respective. a boisterous group of eleven year
17:38
olds who once looked up to him
17:40
learn from, still have their get the
17:42
Athletic and get the info you need
17:45
to speak draft fluently. Theoretically.
17:48
He doesn't have to come in and play from day
17:50
one. You. Have a starting lineup that is.
17:53
Sat right now if he wanted to
17:55
be proceed. Walker, Ellen Jenkins, Josh Myers,
17:57
Sean, Ryan and Zach Them. Off.
18:00
We're ready to go and start if you need them to.
18:02
If Jordy Morgan is not ready and he needs a little
18:04
bit of time to clean up some of those things I
18:06
just mentioned, you have the ability to give him a little
18:08
bit of time assuming you don't have any injuries right away.
18:10
How. Much time he gets that remains to be seen. But
18:13
he could also compete with Rashid Walker left
18:15
tackle, compete with Sean Ryan a guard, and
18:17
if Josh Myers. Is the weak link and you
18:20
want to bench him? I'm there's options there
18:22
to whether it's movie in fact, I'm inside
18:24
and putting Morgan at right tackle or whether
18:26
it's Ellen Jenkins inside and forty Morgan at
18:28
left guard. So. Green Bay's gonna
18:30
have some options there when it comes to
18:32
versatility and one of the things like regardless
18:34
how you feel about the pick yeah, have
18:36
to feel good. From an Office of Wine
18:38
standpoint when you have three guys and Elton
18:40
Jenkins, Jordan Morgan and Zoc Com that have
18:43
is much versatility that they do along the
18:45
offensive line that's gonna give your Adam Savage
18:47
map the for loop buckets a ton of
18:49
a flexibility with how they ultimately put that
18:51
often of wine together where he projects in
18:53
the Nfl. Far be it for me to
18:55
argue with Bill Belichick, or you could easily.
18:57
Slot a minute that you're left tackle
19:00
spot of that's Rebel Attacks thinks he's
19:02
best. I personally think Guard. Is where he
19:04
will ultimately end up. But you let him
19:06
figure that out. You don't have to. Did
19:08
you know Declare he shall be a tackle?
19:10
He shall be a guard. Let's. See, let's
19:12
get him into training camp and mini camp and
19:14
rookie minicamp a note yeas and let's let his
19:16
career play out a little. Before we say
19:18
you're sick. A fork in him as tackle. He
19:21
can't play there and give them every opportunity, but if
19:23
it doesn't work out well, maybe work. I'm in a
19:25
garden see if it works out there, but I don't
19:27
think. You have to make that the sewage. I know you
19:29
don't have to make that decision right now in there is
19:31
going to be some opportunity for him to be flexible on
19:33
that often. Some wine. Far as like Green
19:35
Bay's options for they've traded up for they have
19:37
traded down. Yes, I would have liked to seen
19:39
Green Bay be a little bit more aggressive in
19:41
trading up. I thought there are a lot of
19:43
options like even Byron Murphy folly. and on some
19:45
of that like yeah for Tano falling a little
19:48
bit Syrian Arnold when he on Mitchell I thought
19:50
there were a lot of options for Green Bay
19:52
to potentially move up on, probably not have to
19:54
give up a ton and may be secure a
19:56
big time player in this draft. Even still, it
19:58
looked like there were going to be. Players had
20:00
fall the Green Bay it up not being the
20:02
case. They. Have the opportunity
20:04
to say Grand Partner Cooper to Gene they say
20:06
Jordy Morgan over him Brand you're Just was asked
20:08
about moving up in. He said there are players
20:10
that we thought about moving up for and they
20:12
recognized early that that was not going to be
20:15
the case. So my opinion is they were not
20:17
really in on. Quinney on Mitchell are tearing Arnold
20:19
They were not in on your for town. Who
20:21
are some of those guys? because it sounds like
20:23
the guys who were interested in trading up for
20:25
were. Earlier. In the draft, which is interesting because
20:27
they were offensive. Players right? I doubt it was
20:29
a wide receiver, so was it one of
20:31
the office of Wyman? Was it lay some?
20:33
Was it for Sean who was a young
20:35
one of those guys? That maybe makes little
20:38
bit more sense. Ah, but it's an interesting
20:40
conversation point, but it clearly became apparent to
20:42
do what he said in his press conference
20:44
that they were heater going to stay or
20:46
move down if they stayed Grand Bargain Cooper
20:48
to Gene still on the board, Tyler Guyton
20:50
still on the board. Those have been other
20:52
options. It is surprising to me that.
20:54
These to alter versatile Graham Barton and
20:56
you know, Jordy Morgan or on the.
20:59
Board. At the same time. And
21:01
they went with Morgan over Barton. I think
21:03
that's a pretty big upset. But here's. The tell
21:05
here to. They announced story Morgan as a tackle
21:08
Tampa Bay you select Rampart right after announced burden
21:10
as a center. If Green Bay viewed Barton as
21:12
a center of probably never going to be somebody
21:14
they took in the first round, that's not what
21:16
they do, and it's very likely the case that
21:18
they viewed him at minimum as. An interior
21:21
often sublime and only and again it is
21:23
noteworthy that they announced ah, Jordy Morgan That
21:25
tackle. That doesn't mean that Graham Bart. Might
21:27
not want ever way better career or a Cupertino.
21:29
Know a lot of people wanted to gene, but
21:31
it's also noteworthy does he did not go round
21:33
one. It's also nor were like I said
21:35
the I didn't I didn't think the scene was going to
21:37
be that the pick their I had a my my short
21:39
list but ah if you look at scheme fit and things
21:41
like that it's not a perfect fit. I've talked about that
21:44
all week. I said I thought there was a very good. Chance
21:46
that Gene would be on the board and they
21:48
would not selective in. That's exactly what happened. I.
21:50
Didn't know, necessarily that. They're going
21:52
to take Jordan Morgan that early, but not super surprised.
21:54
By it either arm, Again
21:57
the that a lot of different options there. Is
21:59
but. Fairly yeah, there's a lot of other
22:01
options. That I think we're we're potentially better options are
22:03
specifically with moving up a little bit to get acquainted on
22:06
Mitchell attending Arnold one of those guys that I think go
22:08
to come in and and just been a beautiful fit from
22:10
day one but and south away goody saw it and you
22:12
have to sort of give him a little bit of the
22:14
benefit of the doubt. right? Now the fit
22:16
is going to be a rotational player. Is
22:19
yeah I think he's going to have the ability to
22:21
be at worst the first guy up off the offensive.
22:23
Line he's going to play this season. There's
22:25
no. Question about it: Whether he wins the left
22:27
tackle job? Whether he wins the right guard job?
22:30
Whether they shuffle around the office of wine exact?
22:32
Ah, moves inside? In the mood yet? He
22:34
plays like tackle or it just takes one injury
22:36
and. He's the first guy up he will play
22:38
this year. Neil probably play a lot that be
22:40
my guess so I know lot of people are
22:42
thing or another project and he yeah he might
22:44
not project as a day one starter meeting. He
22:47
might not be week one starting at one of
22:49
those spots. And that's not the worst thing in the world. But.
22:51
I guarantee you he's gonna play the season
22:53
and probably. Play a lot because they're going to
22:55
be a lot of injuries along that often to
22:58
why it happens every single year and at worst
23:00
he's. Gonna be first man up and I'd still
23:02
be willing to back even though again I have
23:04
my trepidation Son Jordan Morgan. I'd.
23:06
Be willing to bet that he's better than
23:08
John Ryan right away. I. Know whether he's
23:10
better than Rashid. Walker will remain to be seen and if
23:13
he wins the left tackle spot knees better than recede. As
23:15
not necessarily anything that's terrible about that either, that's
23:17
a win for Green Bay. I think he will
23:19
play the season. I think will be if
23:22
at worst the first guy up off the
23:24
bench and I think there's a huge fit
23:26
long term here. It would not surprise me
23:28
if the the long term place is for
23:30
him to be first guy up right now
23:32
but by the time next year olds around
23:34
Josh Myers walk in free agency is Zack
23:36
Thomas the center. And Jordy Morgan becomes
23:38
your starter at right tackle. From there or
23:40
movies have a conversation of the want to
23:42
put Morgan at left, tackle him over she'd
23:44
right tackle. Either way they will absolutely have
23:47
some options and I do think he is
23:49
a fit both short term and long term
23:51
for this team at this is what sort
23:53
of upside you get from I'm now and
23:55
how high of that upside to be reached
23:57
in the future. This. Is as good of
23:59
a spot. For Jordan Morgan to wait in
24:01
the Nfl, Green Bay has a history of
24:03
developing players exactly like this along the Office
24:06
of Wine, and he doesn't necessarily have to
24:08
come in and play right away. This.
24:10
Is a such a key important piece
24:12
for a developmental player Like more then
24:14
why do think isn't ready set go
24:16
from day one but has all the
24:18
traits all the tools and Green Bay
24:20
knows how to sort of mine these
24:23
players and then develop them into something
24:25
way better as time goes along. To
24:27
be interesting to see what this means for a
24:30
seed, Walker does Morgan get the real opportunity to
24:32
start a left tackle and then again, what happens
24:34
to Walker from there. And another thing I'll just
24:36
say here to his. Duty.
24:38
The is known for taking these home run
24:40
swings in the first round. Highly athletic players
24:42
at premium positions that he thinks can become
24:45
pro ball players have their respective spots. He.
24:47
Clearly sees shorting Morgan as a potential high end
24:49
offensive tackle that could be a pro bowl caliber
24:52
player. their into the future for takes a couple
24:54
years to get there. He's willing to do that
24:56
and I guess I do still think there's a
24:58
role for him to play this upcoming season, but
25:00
this is a bit of a home run swing
25:03
for Guti. He's not afraid to. Take it And
25:05
then he attacks dates who and a three the draft.
25:07
With players that are usually able to meaning
25:09
complete a little bit more right now and
25:11
I might get I'm not saying that Morgan
25:13
can't be that, but this is another home
25:15
run left apple swaying that he feels like
25:17
could be a big time long term play
25:19
for the Green Bay Packers. It's. Also
25:21
worth noting that he was fantastic. Get senior.
25:23
Bowl practices. I'm Jim Nagy, the senior Bowl
25:25
director shuttered about than said. he went back
25:28
and watched all the one on ones and
25:30
that more. He did lose a single one.
25:32
It's and that this is a couple months
25:34
ago in February actually said he should be
25:36
a first round lock. Or
25:38
didn't burglar. For those I'm thinking like this. a
25:40
massive reach for Green Bay Us be clear I
25:43
had i'm i'm late date to on my board
25:45
doesn't matter again it to who cares by odds
25:47
a burglar on his board had I'm twenty ninth
25:49
overall. He. Went twenty fifth. So.
25:51
I know some people and he was a
25:54
second, a burglar, second guard, Are behind
25:56
only for Tano. So. I know
25:58
I get a lot of people thought that. Like
26:00
a this is a huge reach your maybe it is. A
26:02
good not what I probably would have done at that
26:04
particular spot in the draft. But a lot of
26:07
people adam a lot earlier like it's a burglar
26:09
and nine it's only four spots off. I know
26:11
I, Daniel Jeremiah I think was a little bit
26:13
lower at the youth and like the sixties for
26:15
Daniel Jeremiah, but his his rangers all over the
26:17
place. but there are a lot of people that
26:19
were expecting Jordy Morgan to go at the end
26:21
of round one. you go to Twenty Five, not
26:23
that much ahead of where I think he probably
26:26
would ended up whether Green Bay took him or
26:28
not. Could they have. Moved down and so
26:30
got more than maybe. Maybe,
26:32
But it is important as a Gm that you
26:34
get the guy that you. Want and as
26:37
a as it is very very clear. That.
26:39
Pick was in when they got on the
26:41
clock. They then they need sounds like duty
26:43
had opportunities to move down. He was very
26:45
transparent about that that they had options on
26:48
the table. Sounds like Detroit called them to
26:50
move down before they eventually got one pick
26:52
ahead of Green Bay interfering Arnold Arm. But.
26:54
It sounds like the had plenty of options.
26:56
He said no to those opportunities and he
26:59
immediately took Morgan. I don't think if hearing
27:01
Arnold's on the board, I think they take
27:03
door to Morgan. I think there's I think.
27:05
There were going to take him. I think that I'm. Pretty high
27:07
in their board based on how quick that pick a men
27:10
and based on and you sort of green that he leaves
27:12
of what good he had available from a trade standpoint. This
27:15
was their guy. And. If it is always
27:17
important that if you have that guy in your
27:19
board, you have the conviction to take him. He.
27:22
Looked as if you move down. five spots are forced,
27:24
three spots, whatever and he gets taken to picks later.
27:27
You're going to hate it and you're gonna be frustrated by it.
27:30
And you don't wanna have somebody else drive that
27:32
car off the lot when you behind it for
27:34
so long. So again, could he have made me
27:36
move down? pick up a fourth round pick? I
27:38
think maybe could have, but if he had the
27:40
conviction to say screw that, I'm not risking it.
27:42
And that means he loves the player. Not a
27:44
good sign that he cared that much, that he
27:46
wasn't willing to risk gets. And he wanted him
27:48
that much at pick twenty Five. Ah, he struggled.
27:51
Against Trace, I mention that. Are
27:53
but he did really well against late you who was
27:55
the first defensive player taken in this draft the watch
27:57
the U C L A they've been held up really
27:59
really well. But again, Breland Trace from
28:01
Washington gave him a ton of problems are by the
28:03
way, I posted one clip that was the one pick
28:05
I had of Jordy Morgan. What I said, no comment
28:08
I made. I I didn't need to put a bunch
28:10
of comments and added mean like that doesn't matter either
28:12
way, I'm. I do think
28:14
he's gonna need some protein. Like I said, the traits are there.
28:17
Here's my ultimate sort of break down here
28:19
to I think there are better options: Yes
28:21
to I trust Beauty Yes. Do I trust
28:24
the packers that developing this exact specific type
28:26
of offensive line to? They've done it forever.
28:28
Yes. Are all of Jordan Morgan's issues on
28:30
tape fixable? Issues: This is another really
28:33
important one. Yes, There. Is nothing
28:35
on tape that says that his issues cannot
28:37
be fixable in the Nfl. Will. How
28:39
much time will need Will see does he go
28:41
to a place where they have all the resources
28:44
and coaches needed to fix those issues. Yeah.
28:46
He does in that if you're willing to have
28:48
some excitement outside of Bill Belichick, been super pumped
28:50
about the pick and loving the pact that's. Another
28:53
thing thing to be really excited about his again
28:55
Green Bay's that a long history of drafting these
28:57
type of players and developing them and usually those
28:59
guys are third, fourth, fifth round picks. They thought
29:02
even more of Morgan in the first round as
29:04
I type of developmental prospects. As I said he
29:06
will play in Twenty Twenty Four. The goal is
29:08
to have him be a legitimate big time starting
29:11
caliber often sublime and by next year when you
29:13
may want to move on from Josh Myers at
29:15
that time and then you're probably have to do
29:17
a little bit of reshuffling along the Office of
29:19
Wine in Twenty Twenty Five, but you want him
29:22
ready to go. Been a legitimate starter in
29:24
Twenty Twenty Five, by the way. Dallas.
29:26
Turner in the division. Minnesota gets him
29:28
with their second pack on. There's gonna
29:30
be some really good pass rushers month
29:33
as in Chicago. Dallas, Turner and I'm
29:35
a grown art in Minnesota. Eight Hutchinson
29:37
in Detroit. You need these type of
29:40
players on your roster. How high? The
29:42
ceiling Morgan gets to will have. To wait
29:44
and see. But there's reasons. To understand this
29:46
pic, there's reasons to be frustrated by it
29:48
as a settle long no matter where. You
29:50
are on the spectrum of levine or
29:52
hating the pick. There are traits with
29:54
all these guys that are worth developing
29:57
and worth loving. and there are weaknesses
29:59
for every single. Them as well. Now it's
30:01
up to the Packers in Jordy Morgan to
30:03
mitigate those. Weaknesses that are there on tape and
30:05
it's up to the Packers to get the most
30:07
out of all of those strengths that he is
30:09
legitimately using with from a potential standpoint. I that's
30:11
my I'd probably a little bit longer than my
30:13
gut reaction break down and I may be wanted
30:15
to be but a lot of good stuff to
30:17
go over. I'll let me know you feel about
30:19
the pic. Would love to hear from you guys
