When it comes to positional needs for the Green Bay Packers this offseason, offensive tackle is an intriguing one. Depending on which lens you look through, you’ll see two very different outlooks at one of the game’s most important positions.
In one respect, David Bakhtiari should be back in 2023. For one, Brian Gutekunst said as much in his end-of-season press conference. And two, he was still playing at a high level when on the field last season, allowing just 10 pressures and no sacks while ranking as the seventh-best tackle in football by PFF’s pass-blocking efficiency metric on true pass sets. Bakhtiari also ranked 25th out of 86 tackles in run-blocking grade.
