There’s little question that Green Bay was feeling good about the offensive line going into the 2017 season. David Bakhtiari was (and is) one of the best left tackles in football, Bryan Bulaga was coming off one of his best seasons in 2016, Lane Taylor was coming off an impressive debut performance as a starter, Corey Linsley was coming into his prime as the leader on the interior of the line, and Jahri Evans was a nice veteran presence to solidify everything at right guard.
In addition, Green Bay had Jason Spriggs and Kyle Murphy coming into their sophomore seasons and were hoping for a sizable second year leap from both players.
