That's the list of OL taken by the Packers "later in the draft" over the last 8 years. Jenkins and Tom and the history of Sitton and Lang has people believing we have some lights out track record with OL later the in draft.
That list isn't very good.
I get what you're trying to say but it's worth noting you forgot Rasheed Walker on your list who has turned out pretty darn good and I'd classify Runyan as a hit as well.
Good call on missing Walker, but there isn't a single person on this board who can confidently say that's our LT of the future. He has shown flashes, but didn't even play the position for a full year due to being benched at one point. If the Packers are drafting top 5 this year, do they skip on Joe Alt or JC Latham because they have Walker?
Again, we aren't pumping out talent on a yearly basis in the later rounds on OL to the point it isn't a legit need. We have more misses than hits so to just blindly say "Morgan is a bad pick because you can address OL later in the draft" is lazy.
