The Green Bay Packers' offensive line depth is largely inexperienced heading into the 2026 NFL Draft, with several key departures and new starters emerging. While the starting lineup is starting to take shape, the team will likely look to the draft to bolster their depth along the offensive front.

Why it matters

The Packers' offensive line play is crucial to the success of their offense, and with several new faces in starting roles and unproven depth, the team will need to address this unit through the draft to ensure they have the necessary protection and run-blocking for their skill position players.

The details

The Packers' starting offensive line is expected to feature Jordan Morgan at left tackle, Aaron Banks at left guard, Sean Rhyan at center, Anthony Belton at right guard, and Zach Tom at right tackle. This group is largely inexperienced, with Morgan and Belton stepping into starting roles, and Rhyan moving from guard to center. The team's most experienced backup is Darian Kinnard, who was acquired via trade last summer and has five career NFL starts.

  • Rasheed Walker and Elgton Jenkins departed for other teams in free agency.
  • Sean Rhyan re-signed with the Packers prior to free agency.
  • Anthony Belton moved into a starting role in the second half of his rookie season.

The players

Jordan Morgan

A first-round pick in 2024, Morgan (6-5, 311) has been waiting in the wings behind Rasheed Walker and is now expected to take over as the starting left tackle.

Zach Tom

The unit's top player, Tom (6-4, 304) signed a long-term contract extension last summer but missed time due to injuries and is considering knee surgery.

Aaron Banks

Banks (6-5, 325) dealt with injuries early on after signing with the Packers as a free agent a year ago, but his play improved as he got healthier.

Sean Rhyan

Rhyan (6-5, 321) had been sharing time at right guard with Morgan until Elgton Jenkins went down with a season-ending injury, and he acquitted himself well at center the rest of the way.

Anthony Belton

Belton (6-6, 336) stepped in at right guard after Rhyan moved to center and had to adjust to the position on the fly as a rookie, having played almost exclusively left tackle in college.

What they’re saying

“General Manager Brian Gutekunst remarked how Rhyan's work at center improved from game to game, and that earned the 2022 third-round pick a new contract to be the full-time guy there.”

What’s next

The Packers will likely look to the 2026 NFL Draft to address their offensive line depth, whether that's through immediate starting candidates or reinforcements to provide more experienced backups.

The takeaway

The Packers' offensive line is in a state of transition, with several new starters and largely inexperienced depth. The team will need to prioritize this unit in the draft to ensure they have the necessary protection and run-blocking to support their offense in 2026 and beyond.
