The departure of Pro Bowl
http://www.officialchargesshop.com/shop-by-players-denzel-perryman-jersey-c-1_15.html guards Josh Sitton and T.J. Lang hasn
’t submarined the standing of the Green Bay Packers offensive line among its NFL counterparts.Pro Football Focus recently ranked all 32 offensive lines in the NFL, and the Packers came in at No. 8
– just behind the Oakland Raiders and just ahead of the Dallas Cowboys.From Mike Renner of PFF:
The one glaring oversight from Renner? Not mentioning the addition of veteran guard Jahri Evans, who is widely expected to take over Lang
’s old spot at right guard. Murphy or Spriggs may get opportunities to play some guard over the course of the season, but if Evans holds up, neither young offensive tackle will need to make the transition inside.The Packers are settled at every other

Depth could be viewed as a negative for the Packers
’ line, especially after losing Tretter. Spriggs, a former second-round pick, provides insurance at tackle, and veteran Don Barclay appears capable of playing all five positions, but the Packers otherwise have mostly unknown options on the interior of the line.Green Bay has lost three important players on the offensive line over the last year, but general manager Ted Thompson and coach Mike McCarthy have done an admirable job of reconstructing the unit with both young players and
John Randle Youth Jersey veteran additions. If all goes to plan in 2017, the Packers will continue to possess one of the NFL
’s better offensive lines.
