[QUOTE="Curly Calhoun, post: 721293, member: 10752"] I agree. Getting a dependable, six-time pro bowler starting guard means Ted does not have to look for a day-one starter at that position in the draft. Evans is 33 I believe so he's not a long-term solution, but he can certainly help Green Bay this year and give some young player time to develop. Ted can perhaps use a day three pick on an interior lineman and let him sit for a year. PFF's take on Evans: [LIST] [*][I]The Green Bay Packers signed veteran free agent guard Jahri Evans before the 2017 NFL Draft.[/I] [*][I]Evans returned to the New Orleans Saints last season and started all 16 games at right guard, earning a 76.8 overall grade.[/I] [*][I]He was much more proficient in pass protection than as a run blocker in 2016, only allowed two sacks, three hits and 21 hurries in 2016.
