The Unpacking Future Packers Countdown is a countdown of 100 prospects who the Green Bay Packers could select in the 2026 NFL draft.
Since taking over as general manager of the Green Bay Packers in 2018, Brian Gutekunst has drafted 17 offensive linemen, with 12 of those picks happening on Day 3 of the NFL Draft.
A potential Day 3 offensive line target during the 2026 NFL Draft is Logan Taylor. The Boston College product checks in at No. 33 in the Unpacking Future Packers Countdown.
A four-star recruit from Canada, Taylor started his college career at Virginia. During his final season with the Cavaliers, Taylor started eight games at left tackle and one game at right tackle.
Taylor transferred to Boston College for the 2023 season and started 13 games at left tackle. The following season Taylor started 10 games at left guard and one game at left tackle.

This past season, Taylor did everything but serve the hot dogs. He started eight games at right guard, three at left tackle and one at right tackle.
Taylor finished his collegiate career with starts at every position across the offensive line, except for center. That tackle-guard versatility will make him an attractive target on Day 3. Given his frame (6-7, nearly 34-inch arms) and athleticism, there is no reason to think he couldn’t handle playing all four positions on Sundays.
“I would say that Logan’s size would suit him better for tackle at the next level, but he’s done some of his best work at guard in college,” Graham Dietz, a writer for Boston College SI, said. “He’ll play whatever position his team needs him to play, which speaks to his character quite a lot. He’s a strictly business type of person. He doesn’t get too much into the weeds about anything aside from ball. He wants to soak up as much information from his coaches as possible, and he leads by example.”
Taylor is savvy in pass protection. The Boston College product uses a timely punch and stays balanced in his pass sets. He has the lateral quickness to mirror speed rushers and protect the corner. He has the core strength to anchor against bull rushers.
In 2024, when he played almost exclusively at left guard, Taylor gave up zero sacks and 15 pressures. This past season, while rotating between three spots, he gave up five sacks and 22 pressures. A chunk of those sacks and pressures came in a two-week stretch against Louisville and Notre Dame, when he gave up three sacks and 13 pressures. He was playing right guard and right tackle during those two starts.
The versatile offensive lineman has excellent play strength and the grip strength to control defenders in the run game. He has a powerful lower half and creates movement to blast open running lanes. He shows no restrictions out in space.Â
Fit with the Packers
The Packers need to bolster the depth of the offensive line. As it stands right now, they need to add a backup center, they need guard depth and a swing tackle.
Taylor could address two of those needs. With his frame, versatility, and functional athleticism, he seems to be a safe bet to develop into a quality backup at multiple positions. When it comes to Day 3 picks, that’s incredible value for a team that needs quality depth across the offensive line.
“Just take a look at the history of Boston College draft picks, particularly offensive linemen, in the past decade or so. Ozzy Trapilo, Christian Mahogany, Chris Lindstrom, Zay Flowers, Matt Milano, Justin Simmons, Harold Landry, Luke Kuechly, and Zach Allen,” Dietz said. “Boston College players never disappoint at the next level. Boston College has a special way of forming the whole person, student-athletes included, and that is an invaluable skill in the future, no matter what direction that is.”
The Packers have had pretty good success at drafting Day 3 offensive linemen and developing them into quality starters. Taylor may never reach the levels of a David Bakhtiari or even a Zach Tom, but he has the tools to carve out a Jon Runyan Jr. career.
