A draft class featuring two talented cornerbacks and three big, fast receivers can make it easy to forget about one of the Green Bay Packers’ most underrated picks: offensive lineman Cole Madison.

Rob Rang of NFL Draft Scout didn’t forget. He picked Madison as the Packers’ best fit from the 2018 draft.

Rang sees Madison, the Packers’ fifth-round pick, as having the “toughness, core strength and balance” to follow in the footsteps of Josh Sitton and T.J. Lang and make the successful transition from college offensive tackle to NFL guard.

Madison started 47 games at right tackle for Washington State. Although the Packers like his potential inside at guard, Rang credited Madison for bringing “durability and versatility” to the next level.

Packers regional scout Sam Seale said Madison has the right temperament and footwork to move inside and play guard. GM Brian Gutekunst and coach Mike McCarthy both liked Madison’s versatility, which could mean the Packers will cross-train him at both guard and tackle.

Back in April, we identified Madison and receiver J’Mon Moore as the two sneaky good picks from the Packers’ draft class. Both will have a chance to carve out a role right away as rookies, with Madison currently in the running for the open spot at right guard.

A strong performance at training camp could propel Madison past Justin McCray and into the starting lineup.

Rang gave the Packers an “A” grade for their draft class. Identifying Madison as the best fit of the bunch reflects how much he likes Gutekunst’s first ever fifth-round draft pick.
