Rasheed Walker is gone. So is Elgton Jenkins. While Jordan Morgan will slot in for Walker at left tackle and Sean Rhyan is back to take over for Jenkins at center during the season, the Green Bay Packers have serious depth concerns up front. It’s a franchise that is constantly funneling in reinforcements to the offensive line, and this year should be no different. Gennings Dunker would be a home-run fit from this year’s draft class.

Sometimes it doesn’t take rocket science to identify a perfect fit for a team. When it comes to Dunker and his career at Iowa, Riley Donald of Hawkeye Wire put it best.

It’s an Iowa offensive lineman. Don’t overthink this. It really can be that simple sometimes. Draft the guy with a ton of experience who can move around and has already shown he can compete against the best. Sometimes the easiest answer is the right one. Gennings Dunker is both.

While Dunker logged most of his starts with the Hawkeyes at right tackle, he has the versatility to slide in and play guard, given his frame and brute strength. That makes him a fit with the Packers, who covet offensive linemen who can slide around.

The cherry on top is Dunker’s mindset. At the Senior Bowl, he was asked about playing guard or tackle at the next level and made it clear he’s up for whatever a team wants from him.

I’d be down to play any position, whatever they need or whatever position they are lacking in. I think I could play guard and tackle. I have been repping both during the Senior Bowl. I’ve been working on snapping a little bit in training for the combine. Whatever they need.

Dunker has the length to stay at tackle, but the road-grader mindset in the ground game to move to the inside. There are questions about his athleticism and how he would fare at the NFL level against much quicker edge rushers. Because of that, some view a move to guard as inevitable.

Even if that is the case, the sample size Dunker has at tackle would make him a candidate to switch back to the outside if need be, and that should be enough to convince a general manager like Brian Gutekunst.

On top of the fit with Green Bay, Dunker is projected to go late in Round 2 or somewhere in Round 3 of the draft. Many are still pounding the door for the Packers to go cornerback early in the draft, even after signing Benjamin St-Juste. It’s a justified stance. If there’s a way for Green Bay to go cornerback in the second round and have Dunker fall to them in the third round, it’d be a dream scenario for many fans.

If the versatility angle sounds repetitive at this point, consider what Gutekunst said back in February when talking about Jordan Morgan.

I do sometimes think if you can keep a guy on a side, left or right, it’s helpful for him a little bit. But his versatility has helped us, and it was one of the reasons that drew us to him in the draft, and his ability to play all those spots has been a benefit to us, but certainly he’s going to get a lot of opportunity.

Morgan started as a left tackle at Arizona in college. In two years with the Packers, he’s started at right guard and right tackle and will now finally be the left tackle in his third year. It’s that versatility, even though Morgan struggled mightily at guard, that Gutekunst and the brain trust value immensely. Green Bay’s offensive line lacks depth entering the draft, so having someone like Dunker would provide backup options at multiple positions while allowing him to develop.

The Packers went from having robust options at offensive line in 2025 to needing an infusion of fresh blood. They addressed the situation somewhat in free agency by re-signing Rhyan and Darian Kinnard. That’s a start, but it shouldn’t be all Green Bay does at the offensive line in the offseason.

When Green Bay drafted Anthony Belton in the second round last year, it caught some fans and analysts off guard, given the team’s other areas of need. Fast forward a year later, and it won’t be surprising in the slightest to see the Packers snag a couple in the draft.

Starting with Dunker early on in the draft would be a hell of a way to provide reassurance to a group that struggled with consistency in 2025.
