From Yates: “Green Bay’s roster is full of youth with developmental upside — many of whom hit their stride ahead of schedule in 2023 — and Guyton fits right in. He was essentially a one-year full-time starter in college, manning the right tackle spot for Oklahoma in 2023 (he began his career in 2020-2021 at TCU, which included snaps at H-back). At 6-foot-8 and 322 pounds, his frame alone makes him an intriguing player, but toss in his solid footwork, and the potential is immense. I view Guyton as an NFL left tackle who would immediately compete with Rasheed Walker for the starting job and soon become a fixture there.”

Breakdown: Guyton has become an increasingly popular pick for the Packers at No. 25. While far from a finished product, he is a massive offensive tackle prospect with elite athleticism who can, in theory, play on both sides. Taking him in the first round would give the Packers a long-term developmental prospect at a premium position. Even though the Packers like Rasheed Walker and Zach Tom at the offensive tackle spots, Walker needs competition and Tom can play any of the other four spots along the offensive line. It’ll be surprising if the Packers don’t take at least one offensive tackle in this draft, and using one of their first five picks — all in the top 100 — seems likely given the strength of the offensive line class.
