Packernet Podcast: Green Bay Packers

Pack Daddy is back and the phone lines are wide open — and Uncle Rico shows up three times to absolutely destroy everyone's brain. Tonight's After Dark goes deep on whether the consensus big board is actually worth anything, why AI and robotics might end employment as we know it, and what happens when the economy runs out of humans to pay. It's the philosophical crisis you didn't know you needed on a Monday night. Uncle Rico goes on a trilogy run — questioning the value of consensus big boards, attempting to unpack the UBI/robotics economy loop (and nearly succeeding), and wondering aloud why Chase Claypool chose the Packers over literally anyone else The Gannon media blackout gets discussed — why he's reportedly been kept quiet, and the tension between wanting insider access and what's actually best for the team Batman drops a hot take that Pack Daddy agrees with on tomorrow's podcast: GuteKunst has quietly had a masterclass offseason and the fanbase just refuses to give him credit because it wasn't flashy Nico from Idaho checks in with Idaho potato air fryer content, the Mr. Unlimited saga, and a passionate defense of words the internet has tried to retire Garrett pitches a Mother's Day song, Cheesecake Factory becomes the unanimous answer to all gift-giving, and the Patreon salary cap spreadsheet finally goes live Subscribe, rate, and review — and if you want the spreadsheet, you know where to find it. #PackernetAfterDark #GreenBayPackers #NFLDraft #PackDaddy #PackerNation #AI #Robotics #UBI #GuteKunst #AfterDark #NFL #Packers2025 This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

Ryan Schlipp is fired up — and he's got the math to back it up.

Pack Nation calls in HOT on this edition of Packernet After Dark, and Ryan doesn't hold back either. What starts as a pile-on against ESPN's take on Lucas Van Ness snowballs into one of the most honest conversations about football media literacy, fan psychology, and why so many people refuse to evolve their thinking — even when the evidence is stacked against them.

Big Sal came in with notes — written on a grocery receipt, because that's who he is — and he was ready to torch the Tyrod Taylor signing. A 36-year-old journeyman. Seven prior teams. One and three with the Jets last year. This was supposed to be easy. Then he looked up the actual numbers, and now he's standing in Peshtigo holding a receipt that says this might actually be fine.

Big Sal from Peshtigo is screaming at the ceiling fan, and Pac Nation, this one is keeping him up at night. The Giants just fumbled the bag on DJ Reader, and Brian Gutekunst's phone should already be lighting up. In this fired-up rant, Sal lays out exactly why Green Bay's defensive line is missing its foundation:

Ryan resists the urge to "do stupid every day" and instead grinds through a loaded slate of NFL news, Packers updates, and a brutally honest deep dive into the free agent market. With 318 names floating in free agency, Ryan walks through why most of them can't help Green Bay — and where there's still one real itch the Packers haven't scratched. NFL News & Notes: The Disney/ESPN vs. Comcast standoff over NFL Network and RedZone, the Colts declining Anthony Richardson's fifth-year option, Calais Campbell signing with Baltimore at 40 years old, the Browns' Watson/Shedeur circus, and Russell Wilson retirement/TV chatter. Packers Updates: Minnesota favored to host the 2028 NFL Draft, Malik Muhammad's now-viral non-reaction to being drafted by the Bears, the Trey Smack trade-up details, five of six rookies signed (Brandon Sayer the holdout watch), and a hard reality check on the Chase Claypool tryout hype. Free Agency Deep Dive: Why Ryan keeps circling back to edge rusher as the one true need — Joey Bosa, Haason Reddick, Derek Barnett, Brandon Graham — and what kind of contract structure could actually make sense behind Van Ness and a returning Micah Parsons.

Brick Lombardi cracks open the vault for a four-track journey that starts in the trenches against Cleveland and somehow ends up in a Lambeau trap house. Thirty years in radio and he's still finding new neighborhoods inside this frozen cathedral. Pull up a stool, the signal's strong tonight. Inside this episode of Tundra FM: Dog Pound Showdown — A cold-war anthem revisiting that defensive slugfest with the Browns, where the only thing that traveled to Lambeau was the green-and-gold armor. Nerds in Lambeau — The spreadsheet samurai finally get their theme song. EPA per drop back, CPOE, success rate — basement mic statisticians, this one's for you. The Lambo Beast / When the Stars Align — Cinematic mythology stitching together the Reggie-and-Favre era, the Rodgers-Woodson-Matthews awakening, and the question every cold Sunday in Wisconsin keeps asking: does Jordan Love wake the beast next? Pond D, Frozen Tundra — Packers trap music. It shouldn't work on paper. It works.

Sit down, Pack Nation. Pull off the road. Tell the wife to hold dinner. Big Sal's got a Sal Story Time so dark it kept him up at night and had him staring at the bird feeder for two hours before he could even eat his sandwich. Every team in the NFL has skeletons — but the Green Bay Packers hold a record nobody wants and nobody talks about: we are the ONLY franchise in league history to draft a confirmed serial killer. In this episode, Sal breaks down: Pick 428 of the 1974 NFL Draft — a Portland State wide receiver named Randall Woodfield, whose juvenile arrests were buried by his high school coaches and whose warning lights were flashing like the dashboard of a thirty-year-old pickup How Dan Devine cut him in camp because the indecent exposure didn't stop in a Packers uniform — but Woodfield stuck around Wisconsin, played semi-pro for the Manitowoc Chiefs, and worked at Oshkosh Truck before going home to Oregon The I-5 Killer spree that followed his 1979 parole — one confirmed murder, at least eighteen linked by DNA and ballistics, up to forty-four suspected — and the victims whose names don't get said enough Hit subscribe, leave a review, and tell two of your jabroni friends to listen.

The Green Bay Packers exercised the fifth year option on Lucas Van Ness — and somehow ESPN thinks that's the dumbest move of the offseason. Ryan breaks down the tape, the cap math, and the logic (or lack thereof) behind the wave of criticism coming from multiple ESPN Milwaukee and Madison personalities who seem convinced the Packers just made a catastrophic mistake. The $14 million myth: Ryan methodically dismantles the idea that Van Ness' fifth year option is some massive, reckless investment — when the top pass rusher in the NFL is making $50 million a year, this is literally bottom-third money for a legitimate contributor The sack obsession: ESPN's analysts lean entirely on Van Ness' three sack total while ignoring his 15% pressure rate, 76 PFF overall grade, and the fact he played only 300 snaps — Ryan does the math they refused to do The Rashawn Gary false equivalence: One ESPN host tries to draw a parallel between Gary's contract situation and Van Ness' option — Ryan explains why that comparison falls apart completely when you look at actual dollar figures adjusted for the salary cap The "stuck with him" problem: Multiple analysts framed the decision as the Packers being "stuck" with Van Ness — Ryan makes the case that losing him would be far more damaging than any cap concerns at this price point What's actually coming next: Why this fifth year option is just the setup for a contract extension that will make more sense structurally, and why Gutekunst was always going to do this Subscribe, leave a review, and join the conversation — and catch Packernet After Dark tonight for the call-in reaction! #Packers #LucasVanNess #GoPackGo #NFLAnalysis #GreenBayPackers #PackNation #NFLSalaryCap This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

Pack Nation, we tried to stay on the rails. We really did. But when Uncle Rico calls three times in one night and Bear Mace Plus has a flashbang mode, all bets are off. Packernet After Dark went full chaos tonight, and honestly? Wouldn't have it any other way. Sports Illustrated & the Van Ness Fifth Year Option — Ryan fires back at the haters dunking on the Lukas Van Ness fifth-year option, breaking down why it's smart business at a premium position and why the so-called "experts" don't know what they're talking about UDFA Wave Two & Roster Depth — Drew from Green Bay and Ryan dig into whether signing anyone in the second UDFA wave actually makes sense right now, or if waiting for mid-season need is the smarter play Gutekunst Radio Interview Breakdown — Batman calls in from his coffee truck outside a BTS concert (only on this show) with key takeaways from Gutey's Sirius XM interview: Smack is in, McManus is out, and Sean Ryan is your starting center Uncle Rico's Skydiving Saga, AI Paranoia, and Salary Cap Truthers — Nico goes deep on internet salary cap hysteria, Uncle Rico nearly loses his cookies at 5,000 feet, and the gang debates whether anyone actually trusts anything online anymore Tundra FM Update — Ryan shares that the AI music videos are crushing it on YouTube (one approaching 17K views!) and teases future genre-themed episodes including more Rammstein Call in and join the madness — new callers go directly to the front of the line!

Brick Lombardi cracks open the vault. Four tracks. Four moods. One very bad night for a Bears fan in Naperville, Illinois. The episode opens on the dance floor with GO PACK GO — an electro-pop, crunk-influenced banger built for the club and dedicated to the women who bleed green and gold. Standards are green and gold. If you don't know that, Brick does. From there, the energy shifts hard into PRESSURE — a cinematic, Queen-interpolated meditation on pass protection collapse and the particular dread of watching Jordan Love disappear into a rush. Heavy. Restrained. Honest. SUPERSTITIOUS brings the groove — a Stevie Wonder-influenced funk anthem for every Packer fan who's never spoken their ritual out loud. Same chair. Same hoodie. Same socks. The commentator jinx as a theological crisis. You know the system. You never talk about the system. Brick talks about the system. The episode closes with LET 'EM CRY — a Southern rock ballad. Organ, acoustic guitar, and a Bears fan alone at a bar in Naperville. Fourth and one. Caleb threw it low. Keisean Nixon took it from there. The song sounds like sympathy. It is not sympathy.

Big Sal from Peshtigo is in the recliner, meatball sandwich in hand, and he is FIRED UP. ESPN Milwaukee and ESPN Madison — the hometown guys, the cheese curd crowd — are calling the Lukas Van Ness fifth-year option a bust move. Thirteen point eight million dollars guaranteed, and they're calling it stupid. Sal is here to tell them exactly how wrong they are, receipts in hand, like a man returning a busted toaster oven. Van Ness posted 23 pressures in a half season on a busted foot — a career high — and ten pressures in his final three games. That's not a bust. That's Hercules warming up. The market context is damning for the critics: Kingsley Enagbare just got TEN million for ONE year from the Jets. Van Ness at thirteen point eight for two years is a bargain by comparison. With Rashan Gary traded to Dallas, Kingsley gone, and Micah Parsons rehabbing a torn ACL, the Packers needed Van Ness. The runway is finally clear — and Gutey made sure it wasn't empty.

Pack Nation, Ryan is fired up — and this one turned into something special. What started as a quick take on Lucas Van Ness's fifth year option turned into a full-on intervention for Packer fans who've convinced themselves that nobody on this roster is worth paying. Buckle up. The Rasini Rabbit Hole: Ryan goes deep on the conspiracy theory nobody is saying out loud — could The Athletic's investigation into inappropriate reporter-source relationships be connected to a sudden wave of high-profile NFL executives "stepping away to pursue other passions"? He wants credit if it turns out to be true. Lucas Van Ness Is a No-Brainer: The fifth year option is a bargain. Van Ness is slotting in as roughly the 40th-highest-paid pass rusher in the league. Letting him walk means handing the edge rotation to Baron Sorrell and a prayer. Ryan breaks down exactly why this isn't a debate. Salary Cap School Is In Session: Ryan pulls out his salary cap calculator at packergames.com and walks through why fans are consistently overestimating what these contracts actually cost. Aaron Rodgers' $33M deal in 2018 would be worth $61M today — and we panicked then too. Stop Playing the "He's Not Worth It" Game: From Jaden Reed to Christian Watson to Wyatt to Tucker Craft — Ryan argues that Packer fans systematically undervalue their own players and then have no plan for what to do with the savings. Gutey himself said "absolutely" when asked if they can still afford Watson. Call in and tell Ryan something crazy to do — 608-501-0718. New callers go to the front of the line.

Pack Daddy is stir crazy, the callers are locked in, and somehow the whole thing turns into one of the most unexpectedly insightful nights in After Dark history. Ryan opens with a restless energy he can't shake — bungee jumping, road trips to Maine, a pint of ice cream — but the calls keep coming and so does the football. Daniel from California breaks down exactly how the Packers' 2025 draft class is schemed to attack the NFC's biggest hurdles — Brandon C'Sae as the answer to the Rams' edge-run game and McClellan as the interior pressure weapon Caleb Williams genuinely cannot handle TJ from Alabama veers into a late-night riff on "my truth," personal responsibility, and the libertarian Gen X worldview that apparently nobody under 30 remembers anymore Uncle Rico delivers his definitive NFL loyalty doctrine across multiple legendary call-ins: every player is garbage unless they're a Packer, and the moment they leave, that's it — they're garbage again Garrett from Southern Illinois calls in with high praise for the Sal experiment, and Ryan goes full manifesto mode on AI — where it's headed, why the eBay analogy is terrifying, and why Jensen Huang is basically right about everything Ryan teases a conspiracy theory for tomorrow's episode tied to the media integrity questions raised by recent off-field drama, and promises to explain why he ever brought it up in the first place Call in live at 608-501-0718 — new callers go straight to the front of the line.

Pack Nation, pour something warm and dim the lights — Brick Lombardi is opening the vault. Thirty years in radio, half of them cold, all of them worth it, and tonight Tundra FM is digging into four tracks that lived inside the seasons and knew something before the rest of us did. This is what happens when Packers football gets set to music.

Pack Nation, Big Sal from Peshtigo is FIRED UP — and for once, it's not because Brian Gutekunst did something dumb. It's because the man might've actually done something SMART. Sal cracks open the Jayden Reed extension, sees the sneaky cap-flat structure, and connects the dots to what's REALLY coming next: Christian Watson and Tucker Kraft.

Pack Nation, the gang is back together and the late-night chaos is in full swing! Snacks emerges from his post-Bears-collapse hibernation, an attorney named Don Bryber leaves a cryptic message about Nico, and Ryan walks through the lingering free agent questions facing Brian Gutekunst as the roster crystallizes at 91 men.

Brick Lombardi is back behind the mic and tonight Tundra FM went four deep — four songs, four genres, zero apologies. We opened with "Green Voltage," a German industrial metal anthem about that Pittsburgh comeback nobody saw coming. Down 16-7 on national TV and the Packers ripped the script apart. Then we honored the legend himself — Clay Matthews gets the tribute he deserves with "The Predator," because number 52 earned every note. "Pack Attack" welcomes Micah Parsons to Green Bay with bars aimed straight at Jerry Jones and that Sunday night Dallas showdown — no tribute video needed "Always Meant to Be" is a tech-house meditation on Gute's quiet six-pick draft: McClellan, Sutton, Burton, Jackson, and Trey Smack booting 50-yarders like it's nothing From Rammstein energy to dance floor vibes, Brick proves there's no genre Packers music can't conquer First episode available on both the podcast feed and YouTube — the door's open wider now Whether you've been riding with Tundra FM since day one or this is your first time hearing Brick spit, buckle up. It only gets weirder from here.

Big Sal did not sleep last night. He was up until two in the morning reading draft grades, pacing the living room in his socks, and now he has something to say about it. Sports Illustrated gave the Green Bay Packers a D for their 2026 draft class, and Sal is here to burn that grade to the ground — pick by pick, stat by stat, slippers and all. Sal makes the case for Brandon Cisse as a Day 2 steal: a twenty-year-old corner who ran a 4.41 and allowed just eighteen catches in coverage at South Carolina — and why calling him "raw" misses the entire point of developmental drafting The picks SI barely mentioned: Chris McClellan's eleven-inch hands and scheme-perfect fit, Dani Dennis-Sutton's 9.96 RAS and fourth-round robbery, Jager Burton's zero sacks allowed and 4.94 forty at 312 pounds Why drafting Trey Smack is not a punchline — it is a direct response to Brandon McManus leaving seven points on the field in a four-point playoff loss Big Sal said what he said. Now it's your turn — subscribe, leave a five-star review, and tell the guy at the gas station who thinks the Bears had a better draft. #Packers #GreenBay #NFLDraft #PackNation #PackersDraft #LetMeTellYouSomething #BigSal #NFL #DraftGrades #PackDaddy This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

Ryan dives headfirst into two stories dominating the NFL news cycle — one that keeps getting more shocking by the day, and one that's completely manufactured nonsense. First up, the Diana Rossini-Mike Vrabel situation has escalated far beyond hotel photos. Ryan walks through the full timeline of new evidence, including a Spotify playlist discovery that connects some very uncomfortable dots, dating back years before the public ever caught wind of anything. The full Rossini-Vrabel timeline: from 2015 GM affair allegations to the latest Spotify playlist bombshell, deleted accounts, and social media sleuthing that points to something far deeper than anyone initially assumed Conception window analysis that has the internet calling for paternity tests on both of Rossini's children The Micah Parsons "controversy" that isn't one — Ryan plays the full unedited clip and exposes how every major account clipped the same dishonest snippet to manufacture outrage A passionate rant on the softening of NFL culture, fake outrage, and what happens when fans care more about feelings than football Don't be a stranger — subscribe, leave a review, and join the conversation. #Packers #GreenBayPackers #NFL #PackersNews #MicahParsons #DianaRossini #MikeVrabel #NFLDraft #PackNation #GoPackGo This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

The draft dust has settled and Pack Nation is calling in HOT. Tonight's After Dark crew breaks down every Packers pick from the quality-over-quantity approach to the late-round gambles, and the consensus is clear — this might be Gute's best draft yet. Plus, the callers are already handing out nicknames and cooking up Lambeau traditions for the new guys. Beer Cheese Benny kicks things off with love for the Jager Burton pick and his zero-sack streak at Kentucky, while Batman delivers a scorching take on the Bears' disastrous draft and Caleb Williams' regression risk behind a potentially crumbling offensive line Daniel from California breaks down the upside of Brandon C'Sae's Stephon Gilmore mentorship, McClellan's unmovable run defense, and why Deny Dennis Sutton's athleticism and production make his draft fall inexplicable Uncle Rico solves the pronunciation problem once and for all — DDS is now officially "The Dentist" — while Aaron pitches the "What Does the C'Sae?" wave as Lambeau's next great defensive tradition TJ from Alabama co-signs the consensus board rant, delivers a public service announcement about the dangers of mispronouncing "jag off," and the crew debates whether street free agents still make sense with a full 91-man roster Call in and join the conversation: 608-501-0718.

Brick Lombardi opens up the vault and the draft week jukebox is stacked. The Packers took a corner — Brandon Cisay out of South Carolina, 52nd overall — and Pack Nation already gave the kid a full tongue twister anthem before he's unpacked a suitcase. 41-inch vertical, 4.41 forty, and a chorus that might require dental insurance to perform.

Big Sal is back to close out the NFC North draft review series, and he saved the easiest roast for last — the Detroit Lions. After falling from 15-2 and an NFC Championship appearance to a 9-8 couch season, Brad Holmes answered with the safest, most vanilla draft class Big Sal has ever seen. Blake Miller at 17 is the meatloaf of draft picks — nobody's mad, nobody's excited, he just exists. Meanwhile the rest of the division is eating steak. Detroit traded UP to take Derek Moore over Zion Young, paying more to get the prospect most analysts graded lower. Two of their first three picks are Michigan Wolverines — that's not scouting, that's a Big Ten alumni mixer with a salary cap. Five of seven picks were defensive players, yet they still didn't address safety or tight end. The secondary got torched in 2025 and Holmes put a bucket under one leak and called it a renovation. One bright spot: Keith Abney, CB out of Arizona State in the fifth round — real value that even Big Sal can't deny. The final NFC North draft report card is in: Bears delusional, Vikings a disaster, Lions safe and boring, and Green Bay sitting on top with a roster built to win.

Ryan's back and loaded with takes on this episode of the Packernet Podcast. From new jersey number reveals — including Brandon C'Saye rocking #2 and Javon Bullard's switch to #7 — to the bombshell report that 21 of 32 NFL teams want to eliminate the seventh round of the draft, this one covers a LOT of ground. The case for and against cutting the 7th round, including the massive financial gap between late-round picks and UDFAs and what it means for roster-building Why the 18-game season panic is overblown — and why comparing the NFL to the NBA's 82-game grind is flat-out wrong A passionate deep dive into consensus draft boards vs. actual results: Evan Williams, Jaden Reed, Christian Watson, and other "reaches" that worked out just fine A reality check on what a successful draft class actually looks like — hint: two starters and a couple rotational guys is a WIN Ryan breaks down why draft "reaches" don't equal bad players, why the media grade machine is broken, and why Pack Nation needs to pump the brakes before declaring this class a bust. Plus, a reminder: the media industry keeps imploding, so maybe don't go into sports journalism. #Packers #GreenBay #NFLDraft #PackersNation #GoPackGo #NFL #PackerNet #DraftGrades #18GameSeason This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

The draft is done, Pack Nation — and the Packernet After Dark crew is breaking it all down live with the callers. Ryan and the gang go pick by pick through Green Bay's 2026 class, from the defensive tackle trade-up to the Jagger Burton vs. Brian Parker debate at center, and yes — drafting a kicker named Smack in the late rounds. Omar, Kyle from Madison, Beer Cheese Benny, and Nico all check in with their reactions. The case for Jagger Burton over Brian Parker at center, and why the Packers' size preferences made the decision Why kicker Trace Smack is a massive upgrade over the Anders Carlson experiment — and the PFF grades to prove it Running back concerns: Why Green Bay isn't worried about the position and still believes in Marshawn Lloyd Ryan's passionate monologue on why every part of the football calendar matters — stop reducing your enjoyment to "it only counts if it's the Super Bowl" Plus, a quick update on nfldraftgrades.com — the 2027 draft class is now live on the site with 800+ prospects and a full big board, no paywall required.

Big Sal is FIRED UP, Pack Nation — and for once, it's not out of anger. It's pure, unfiltered joy. The Minnesota Vikings just turned in their 2026 draft class and it reads like a parody. A first-round defensive tackle with two foot surgeries who broke his foot AGAIN at the combine. A fullback — yes, a FULLBACK — in the fifth round, in the year 2026. And a quarterback room so shaky their own front office hedged with a $1.3 million flyer on Kyler Murray. Sal breaks down every pick, every reach, and every baffling decision from an interim GM running the show without a map. Caleb Banks at 18: the biggest reach of the first round, with a medical file thicker than his scouting report The Gary Pletcher tangent you didn't know you needed — and his equal career sack total to Minnesota's third-round nose tackle Why drafting a fullback in 2026 is like buying a rotary phone at Best Buy The Justin Jefferson problem Minnesota refuses to solve Smash that subscribe button, leave a five-star review, and spread the word across Pack Nation.

The draft is in the books, and Pack Nation showed up to break it all down live. From the second-round corner to the sixth-round kicker that stole the show, this one had everything — hot takes, tongue twisters, and at least one audible scream when Jagger Burton's name got called. Beer Cheese Benny goes from skeptic to believer on Chris McClellan after watching the film, and the crew debates whether Gutey overpaid to move up or locked in on the only guys worth taking in a weak class Garrett from Illinois drops a See-Say tongue twister for the ages, reveals Richard Sherman's stamp of approval on Brandon See-Say, and delivers his round-by-round predictions Chris from Alabama brings the energy on Deny Dennis Sutton's Penn State pass-rush pedigree and crowns Trey Smack as his favorite pick of the entire draft Pack Daddy makes the case that this was a positional masterclass — corner, D-tackle, edge, O-line, and kicker, all in order of need — and argues the sixth round is where you swing for specialists, not lottery tickets Call in next time at 608-501-0718 — new callers always go to the front of the line! #Packers #GreenBay #NFLDraft #PackNation #GoPackGo #PackernetAfterDark #DraftDay #PackDaddy This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

Brick Lombardi is back in the booth and Draft Weekend just gave him a full album's worth of material. This is Tundra FM's draft special — four picks, four tracks, zero filler. "Deny" — Danny Dennis Sutton, EDGE, Penn State: 17 sacks. 25 TFLs. Four rounds of silence, then Green Bay called. Brick lays down a track built on patience and pass rush violence — Sutton's fall is everyone else's loss. "Moves Like Jagger" — Jagger Burton, IOL, Kentucky: Fifth-round center-guard with 47 SEC starts and a name that writes its own headline. Brick reminds you Corey Linsley came in Round 5 too. Just leaving that there. "Still Running" — Damien Jackson, CB, Alabama: A 10.25 state record at 17, five stars, a Saban retirement curveball, and 201 picks of doubt. One door opened. Green Bay was behind it. "Smack That" — Trey Smack, K, Florida: They traded up for a kicker named Smack. Florida's 50-plus record holder. McManus is officially on notice, and Brick is officially losing his mind about it. Draft weekend delivered. Brick Lombardi delivered harder. Turn it up, Pack Nation.

Big Sal from Peshtigo cannot let it go — and honestly, why would he? The Chicago Bears just walked into the 2026 NFL Draft with a broken pass rush and a prayer, and walked out with three tight ends, a gadget receiver, and a sixth-round defensive tackle. Pack Nation, this is not a bit. This actually happened. The Bears traded UP in Day 2 for their THIRD tight end while ranking near the bottom of the league in sacks — Big Sal has the fishing tackle box analogy that will haunt Ryan Poles in his sleep Ninety-five percent of Bears fans hated the draft — and Big Sal calls it what it is: North Korea numbers, but against your own team Meanwhile, Gutey sat patient with picks 52 and 84, and the Packers get to face this Bears roster TWICE a year with Micah Parsons on the edge and Jonathan Gannon in the film room Ryan and Kullen are LIVE on the Day 2 stream — get in the war room with Pack Nation and watch the real picks roll in It is a beautiful morning to be a Packer fan.

The 2026 NFL Draft is in the books, and Pack Daddy is breaking down every single Green Bay Packers selection in this post-draft rapid reaction episode. From a fourth-round steal at edge rusher to a sixth-round kicker that silences every critic who's been complaining about the position for two years — this draft delivered, and Ryan isn't holding back his excitement. Deny Dennis Sutton (Edge, Penn State) — A 996 RAS freak with four years of consistent PFF grades and elite pass rush production. Could he push for a starting role opposite Lucas Van Ness from day one? Jagger Burton (IOL, Kentucky) — The versatile interior lineman Ryan had been calling for, playing center, left guard, and right guard throughout his college career. His 2025 grade of 71 overall with zero sacks and zero hits allowed tells the story of steady, reliable improvement. Domani Jackson (CB, Alabama) — A former five-star recruit with elite straight-line speed and a 74 coverage grade in his final season. The benching questions get addressed head-on. Trey Smack (K, Florida) — 89/89/88 PFF grades over three seasons, 10-of-13 on 50-plus yarders, and a 65-yard bomb on display. The kicker debate is over. Ryan was patient. Pack Nation, it's time to be happy. Subscribe, leave a five-star review, and join the conversation at nfldraftgrades.com — the 2027 board is already being built!

Brick Lombardi's back, and the board is closed. Day Two is done — and Tundra FM isn't letting these picks slip into the void without a proper soundtrack. Six songs. Six players. Six reasons this franchise doesn't rebuild, it reloads. Cisse (Pick 52) — The youngest corner in the class. The board had him at 33. Gutey got him at 52. That's not a reach. That's a robbery in broad daylight. Welcome to the Tundra (Pick 77) — 313 pounds, 11-inch hands, and a spring break spent in the film room. McClellan didn't come to visit — he came to work. The 2025 Vault — Sorrell Season, Oliver, Brinson Mact-Krieg, and Pack Wall get their anthems. Four players. Four songs. Four more reasons to believe. Micah Robinson — One pre-draft visit. Just one. And it was us. He said it himself: love who loves you. No song yet, Micah. But we see you. Day Three starts now. Pack Nation, Lambo is being built one track at a time.

Pack Nation — no first-round pick. No door. Just Big Sal standing in the parking lot waiting. And then Gutekunst opened the gate and walked out with the best buck in the woods. The Packers grab cornerback Brandon Cisse at pick 52 — a 20-year-old with a 4.41 forty and a 41-inch vertical who held opponents to a 41% completion rate at South Carolina. Gutey compared him to Kenny Clark, and Big Sal is not arguing. Green Bay then trades UP from 84 to 77 to snag Missouri DT Chris McClellan — 6'3", 313 pounds, 11-inch hands, 6 sacks in the SEC. The man is built like a refrigerator that also runs a 5.05 forty. No first-round pick. Two legitimate contributors. The national media called Green Bay hamstrung — Sal calls it Wednesday.

Pack Nation, Day Two of the 2026 NFL Draft is in the books, and the Packernet After Dark call-in crew has all the takes you need. Ryan breaks down Green Bay's two big swings — cornerback Brandon C'Say and nose tackle Chris McClellan — with live reaction from the community as the picks came in hot. Brandon C'Say at 52: The Packers ran to the podium and Pack Nation debates whether this 20-year-old boundary corner with elite traits and violent tackling ability can push past Keyshawn Nixon for the starting spot — and why Ryan was calling his name ten picks out Chris McClellan at 84: Beer Cheese Benny wasn't fully sold, but Ryan makes the case hard — if you wanted Dominique Orange (one sack in four years, zero pass rush) over McClellan, you need to revisit the tape Day Three Preview: The crew breaks down remaining targets including Mike Washington, tight end options, linebacker depth, and whether the Packers can afford to double up at corner — plus Ryan's sermon on why the consensus big board is pretendy land Subscribe, leave us a five-star review, and call in live at 608-501-0718 — new callers go straight to the front of the line.
