GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers have a standout right tackle with Zach Tom. They have a question mark at left tackle with Rasheed Walker and David Bakhtiari.

So, would the Packers use their first-round pick on a right tackle?

Here is a look at the latest and greatest mock drafts.

Yahoo: Oklahoma OT Tyler Guyton

Guyton is the offensive tackle in question. In 2022, Guyton played 350 snaps at right tackle and 50 at left tackle. In 2023, when he didn’t allow a single sack, he played 661 snaps at right tackle and one snap at left tackle.

So, Guyton is an established right tackle. However, he does have the athletic skill-set to play on the left so long as the Packers are patient.

“The Packers are going to always target traits for their draft picks, especially in the first round,” wrote Charles McDonald and Nate Tice, who called Green Bay a “factory” for offensive linemen. “Guyton is more a bundle of tools than a finished product, but his size and athleticism are hard to find and hard to teach.”

At Manor (Texas) High School, he was an all-district defensive linemen. That’s where he started his career at TCU before switching to the offensive side of the ball. He transferred to Oklahoma for his final two seasons. His lone significant action at left tackle came in the 2022 opener.

“This is a guy that hadn’t played the position for a long time,” offensive coordinator Jeff Lebby said before the 2023 season kicked off. “(He) has had limited starts at the position so he’s continuing to get better every day. I think we’re all aware of what he can be, but he’s got to go be it.

“He’s got the right mindset about it. He’s been incredibly tough and eager to get better every day. He’s gotta continue that trend to get to where he wants to be and where we want him to be.”

NFL.com: Iowa DB Cooper DeJean

As mentioned previously, it is against the law for somebody to not peg DeJean to the Packers. The Packers’ needs throughout the secondary, paired with DeJean’s athleticism and versatility, make it a natural fit.

DeJean has a “knack for making big plays,” Dan Parr wrote.

Oh, here is another DeJean-to-Green Bay mock.

CBSSports.com: Georgia CB Kamari Lassiter

Lassiter is a two-year starting cornerback at a college powerhouse the Packers have turned to frequently – including cornerback Eric Stokes in the first round in 2021.

Lassiter was second-team all-SEC in 2023, when he allowed a rather ridiculous 15 completions out of 39 targets for just 136 yards with eight pass breakups, according to PFF. His lone interception came in 2021. The Athletic’s Dane Brugler said Lassiter has drawn comparisons to Brian Branch.

Pro Football Focus (4 Rounds): Arizona OT Jordan Morgan

Posted on X and done through its simulator, PFF selected Morgan with the first-round pick and added another offensive tackle, Texas’ Christian Jones, in the fourth round. The 6-foot-6 Morgan, who allowed a total of three sacks the last two years, might wind up at guard. The 6-foot-6 Jones allowed only one sack in 2023.

With the second of the second-round picks, Green Bay landed USC’s Calen Bullock to help fill the big hole at safety.

Listed at 6-foot-3, Bullock played defensive back and receiver in high school. At USC, the focus was safety. In three seasons, he intercepted nine passes, two of which were returned for touchdowns. He had five picks in 2022, when he earned some All-American honors. In 2023, when he had two picks, he played 320 pounds as a deep safety, 274 snaps in the box and 249 snaps in the slot.

With height and range, Bullock should be a playmaker in the NFL. He must add some muscle to his 195-pound frame, though, to improve his tackling.
