Packernet Podcast: Green Bay Packers

NFL executives weighed in on the 2026 Draft's top 10 — and the results are messier than anyone expected. Ryan breaks down the Athletic's executive mock draft, where four front-office insiders couldn't even agree past pick three, and the debate over Cam Mendoza at one is more unsettled than the consensus wants you to believe. Executive Mock Breakdown: All four execs lock in Mendoza-Reese-Bailey in the top three, but picks four through ten feature wildly divergent opinions — including two executives who had Keldrick Falk going to Tennessee in the top five, a pick the rest of the industry thinks is laughable. Jeremiah Love Rising: Connor Rogers floats the possibility that Love doesn't make it to the typical 7-9 range, with the Titans, Cardinals, and Giants all in play as potential landing spots earlier than expected. Combine Analytics — Defense Wraps Up: Ryan finishes Kevin Cole's Unexpected Points modeling series, covering linebackers, cornerbacks, and safeties. The takeaway: teams are overvaluing measurables that barely correlate to NFL success, especially at linebacker and corner — with Sunny Styles, Jalen Kilgore, and Lorenzo Styles among the names most affected. Caller Drew from Green Bay opens the show with an intriguing scenario — could Kyler Murray's release push Arizona to trade up to one, and would Vegas actually listen?

Big Sal from Peshtigo is fired up — and this time he didn't even finish his wife's chili. The Washington Commanders just cut Tyler Biadasz, a Badger-born Pro Bowl center from Amherst, Wisconsin, and if Brian Gutekunst isn't already on the phone, Big Sal is personally driving to Green Bay. Biadasz's full résumé: Remington Trophy winner at Wisconsin, blocked for Jonathan Taylor, started all 17 games for a Dallas offense that led the league in yards, earned a Pro Bowl, and helped carry Washington to the NFC Championship — before getting cut for $8 million in cap savings The Packers have nearly $20 million in cap relief waiting the moment they move on from Elton Jenkins, whose 2025 PFF grade ranked around 25th at center with run blocking near the bottom of the league The Chicago Bears are already circling — and Sal's got a yard sale story about his neighbor Tomek that perfectly explains why standing around being indecisive is a catastrophic mistake Jordan Love needs a wall in front of him, not five strangers who met at a bus stop — Biadasz is 28, top-15 in the league at his position, and he plays like he has something to prove Subscribe, drop a comment, and share this with every Packers fan you know.

The NFL offseason is absolutely on fire — and the Packers are just sitting there saying "it's fine." Ryan breaks down a jam-packed day of NFC North news while Green Bay remains mysteriously quiet on all fronts. Minnesota's salary cap nightmare exposed: Jonathan Grenard trade rumors, Hargrave's release, and a roster full of aging veterans that could gut their vaunted defense before the season even starts The stunning retirement of Bears Pro Bowl center Drew Dahlman at just 27 years old — what it means for Chicago's offensive line and how Tyler Biadasz's visit could impact Green Bay's own center plans Malik Willis's chaotic free agent market: Jets, Cardinals, Dolphins all circling, and why Ryan's rooting for an AFC landing spot A small fire at Lambeau, no overseas games meaning nine home games in 2026, and the return of Malik Heath as a potential depth signing If you're wondering why the Packers are the calmest team in the league right now, you're not alone.

  The calls are coming in hot on Packernet After Dark, and tonight's show covers some of the biggest questions hanging over the Packers heading into free agency and the draft. From the Romeo Doubs contract debate to a deep dive on Brian Gutekunst's drafting track record, the fan base is fired up — and they're not holding back. Romeo Doubs at $12M — worth it or salary cap poison? Chris from Alabama makes a passionate case for bringing Doubs back as the team's most reliable receiver, while Ryan breaks down the brutal math: can Green Bay really afford Doubs and lock up Watson, Reed, and eventually Golden? The Gutekunst draft report card. Drew from Green Bay challenges Ryan on the Creed Humphrey miss, the Quay Walker pick, and whether the GM deserves more credit for his work in trades and free agency than he gets for the draft itself. Ryan's verdict: stop measuring how close the misses were — just find the hits. The Packers' cornerback drought. The crew revisits a stunning stat — Green Bay hasn't taken a top-100 cornerback in nearly a decade — and what it means now that Gutekunst has publicly flagged the CB room as a priority. Rich Bisaccia heads to Clemson. A caller floats a compelling theory about the timeline of his departure, and the crew gives a genuinely warm send-off to the outgoing special teams coordinator.

Two massive storylines emerged from the NFL Combine, and we're cutting through the noise on both. First up — Caleb Downs got flagged with a partially torn meniscus and a degenerative ACL, and the internet lost its mind. But what does "degenerative" actually mean, and should you be worried? We break down the medical terminology, compare it to past prospects like Jonathan Vilma, Todd Gurley, and Jay Ajayi, and explain why teams aren't sweating this one. Caleb Downs' medical flags explained: what mucoid degeneration actually is, why it's far more common than people realize, and why multiple NFL teams say his stock won't drop Makai Lemon's combine interview disaster — from bizarre podium body language to anonymous scouts saying he "absolutely bombed it," we run through all the reports and what it means for his draft stock Kevin Cole's weighted combine analytics deep dive: which metrics actually correlate to NFL success vs. which ones teams overvalue, covering defensive tackles and edge rushers Hidden value prospects to watch: DeMonte Capehart, Zane Durant, Mason Rieger, George Gums Jr., and Romello Height all flash as underrated athletic profiles Don't miss tomorrow's episode where we'll tackle linebackers, corners, and safeties through the same analytical lens.

The NFL offseason just kicked into overdrive, and somehow the Packers are the only team standing still. Ryan rips through a massive news day — trades, cuts, contract extensions, and combine rumors flying from every direction — while Green Bay sits quietly with a ticking salary cap clock and a shrinking window to act. Rich Bisaccia officially heads to Clemson, and a new Tyler Dunn report reveals that Matt LaFleur is "intense" and "a difficult boss" with assistants — raising questions about whether that played a role in Bisaccia's departure The veteran QB market is flooding with names like Tua, Kyler Murray, Geno Smith, Kirk Cousins, and Justin Fields potentially available at the minimum — could the Packers snag a high-end backup for pennies? The Vikings are quietly trying to move on from JJ McCarthy after a disastrous sophomore campaign, and Derek Carr's name keeps surfacing as a potential landing spot in Minnesota Dallas Goedert is leaving Philly and could be an intriguing red zone weapon next to Tucker Kraft, while offensive line options like Juwan Taylor and Liam Eichenberg hit the open market Romeo Doubs' price tag keeps climbing as the WR market heats up, making a Packers reunion increasingly unlikely despite the front office's stated desire to bring him back With the new league year hitting March 11 and legal tampering starting March 9, the Packers have roughly six days to get their house in order. The flurry is coming — the only question is whether it'll be enough. #Packers #GreenBay #NFL #FreeAgency #NFLOffseason #GoPackGo #PackerNet This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

Big Sal hasn't even finished his second cup of coffee and he's already screaming at the TV. Every talking head on NFL Network is losing their mind over Arkansas QB Taylen Green — 4.36 forty, 43.5-inch vertical, six-foot-six and 227 pounds of pure athletic spectacle. But Big Sal has one question: can the kid actually play quarterback? Taylen Green went 2-10 at Arkansas with 11 interceptions, a 38.6% completion rate under pressure, and 27 sacks — but sure, let's crown him because he can jump The NFL graveyard is full of combine freaks: Anthony Richardson (benched for Flacco), JaMarcus Russell (25 starts, done), Vernon Gholston (zero sacks in three years), and Stephen Hill (45 career catches) Tom Brady ran a 5.28 forty, looked like a substitute math teacher at the combine, and won seven Super Bowls — the stopwatch doesn't measure what's between your ears This QB class is weak after Fernando Mendoza, and desperation plus combine hype is a dangerous combination Smash that like button, subscribe to the Packernet Podcast, and share this with that one guy in your group chat who thinks combine numbers mean something.

The callers came hot tonight, and Ryan matched their energy with a legendary rant that will make every Packer fan who ever screamed "we should have drafted that guy" sit down and be quiet. From an epic takedown of draft hindsight bias to real talk about leadership concerns in Green Bay, this one hits different. Ryan goes scorched earth on draft cherry-picking, pulling receipts from the 2020 class — where fans demanded Denzel Mims, Patrick Queen, and Ross Blacklock instead of a franchise quarterback named Jordan Love Bryce Lance emerges as a fan-favorite prospect getting serious Christian Watson comparisons after the combine, and Ryan hits the highlight tape live on air A caller delivers a perfect Waterboy analogy comparing Matt LaFleur to Coach Klein, sparking a raw discussion about the player survey, leadership under pressure, and what Gutekunst needs to fix Multiple callers lose their minds over Rich Bisacchia landing at Clemson as special teams coordinator — and the rants are absolutely unhinged Call in tomorrow night and bring the heat — Ryan needs at least eight of you to keep this thing rolling.

The combine just reshuffled the entire top of the draft board, and we're breaking down every bit of it. Todd McShay is now floating Sonny Styles as high as number two to the Jets after a Mount Rushmore-level athletic performance, and the gap between Styles and Arvell Reese is suddenly a real conversation. Meanwhile, Ty Simpson went from falling out of the first round to generating top-10 buzz, with the Cleveland Browns doing extensive work on the former Alabama quarterback. McShay's "Hall of Fame tier" vs. "really good tier" creates uncomfortable draft room debates about positional value — would you pass on elite talent at linebacker, safety, running back, or guard for a slightly flawed edge or tackle? The 2026 combine class shattered speed and explosiveness records at nearly every position group, led by historic performances from Styles, Kenyan Sadiq, Eli Stowers, and Monroe Freeling Freeling's prototype left tackle measurables have him surging up boards, potentially leapfrogging Maui Noah and Fano, while Spencer Fano's elite agility opens up an interior projection conversation Ty Simpson's combine performance and his family connection to Browns HC Todd Monken have reignited his stock — and some are even debating his tape against Mendoza's through nine games The top five is wide open after Mendoza, and we wouldn't have it any other way.

Big Sal is up at six in the morning, coffee in hand, absolutely losing his mind — and for good reason. The Minnesota Vikings are cutting Aaron Jones, the third-leading rusher in Packers franchise history, and Sal is not about to let Green Bay pass on this opportunity twice. Why the Vikings dumping Jones is the football equivalent of Sal's buddy Gino selling his cherry-red '72 Nova for pennies on the dollar The case that Jones still has gas in the tank after rushing for a career-high 1,138 yards at age 30 in 2024 With Emmanuel Wilson gone and depth paper-thin behind Jacobs, the Packers backfield is begging for a veteran presence A direct message to Brian Gutekunst: pick up the phone and make this right Sal isn't asking for 2019 Aaron Jones. He's asking for 10-12 touches a game, third-down reliability, locker room leadership, and the chance to give a franchise legend the ending he earned. One more Lambeau Leap in green and gold. That's all we're asking. #GoPackGo #AaronJones #GreenBayPackers #BringHimHome #PackerNet #LetMeTellYouSomething This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

Mock Draft Monday takes a whole new angle this week as we dig into the athletic benchmarks and physical profiles the Packers have historically favored at every position — then build an entire mock draft around them. Using combine data going back to 2018, we compare Green Bay's draft tendencies against NFL averages to find the prospects who truly fit the Packers' DNA. Deep dive into Packers combine benchmarks vs. NFL averages at every position — what actually separates Green Bay's picks from the rest of the league? A stunning revelation: the Packers have invested just ONE draft pick at cornerback in rounds 1-4 since 2018 (Eric Stokes), making CB1 an urgent need Full mock draft featuring Chris Johnson (CB, San Diego State), small-school riser Caleb Proctor (DT, SE Louisiana), Alabama center Parker Brailsford, and more Late-round gems explored including Mason Rieger's Shrine Bowl explosion, Joe Fagnano's breakout season at UConn, and Khalil Dinkins' untapped tight end potential Whether you're a draft junkie or just want to understand how Green Bay builds its roster, this one's packed with data, film notes, and fresh names for your draft board.

Ryan and the After Dark crew get into it on a night where the frustrations are running high and the callers aren't holding back. From the Cameron Achord special teams hire to Matt LaFleur's maddening habit of going conservative with a lead, nothing is off limits — and the phone lines are loaded with takes. Uncle Rico kicks things off breaking down the Achord hire and why the new special teams coordinator's track record raises real questions TJ from Alabama delivers a sharp analogy about LaFleur wanting to eat healthy but ordering cheese curds — perfectly capturing the coach's gap between aggressive talk and cautious play-calling Nico from Idaho champions "big beefy men" and sparks a conversation about why measurables don't always matter if a guy is just a good football player Garrett calls in with a passionate salute to Ryan's recent Bisaccia breakdown, and Ryan opens up about a rough day and why these calls mean more than people realize If you're tired of conservative play-calling, questionable staff grades, and coaches who talk aggression but coach scared — this one's for you. Plus, stick around for movie talk about Limitless and that weird Matt Damon shrinking movie. #Packers #PackernetAfterDark #GoPackGo #GreenBay #NFL #MattLaFleur #CameronAchord #PackersTalk This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

Day three of the NFL Combine just delivered some of the most jaw-dropping athletic performances in recent memory, and we're breaking all of it down. From a 6'6" quarterback running Michael Vick speed to a running back posting a perfect RAS score and breaking down in tears, this class is rewriting what we thought was physically possible at these positions. Taylor Green clocked a 4.36 forty at 6'6" 227 lbs with a record-setting 43.5" vertical, making him the second-fastest QB in combine history behind only Vick — so why are some projecting him as a day three pick? Mike Washington ran a 4.33 at 223 pounds and earned a perfect 10.0 RAS, vaulting from mid-round project to potential day two steal Jeremiah Love cemented his RB1 status with a 4.36 forty, and Todd McShay floated a top-five selection to the Titans Jeff Caldwell out of Cincinnati posted measurables eerily similar to Calvin Johnson — 6'5", 4.31 forty, 42" vert — and nobody's talking about it Carnell Tate's 4.53 has people worried, but CD Lamb, Davante Adams, and DeAndre Hopkins all ran similar times Todd McShay reports rising buzz around Ty Simpson and Baron Morton as sleeper QB prospects Subscribe, leave a review, and call in with your combine takes at 608-561-3243! #NFLCombine #NFLDraft #DraftRoom #PackernetPodcast #GreenBayPackers #TaylorGreen #JeremiahLove #MikeWashington #JeffCaldwell This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

Big Sal hasn't even had his coffee yet and he's already doing salary cap math at six in the morning — and Packers Nation, he is NOT happy. After Gutekunst's post-playoff presser about bringing everybody back, Sal is grabbing the scissors and making the cuts himself.

Big Sal is fired up and he is not holding back. The Green Bay Packers just named Cam Achord their new special teams coordinator and the numbers tell a brutal story. One elite season in New England back in twenty-twenty followed by four straight years of decline, a dead last D V O A ranking, blocked punts, kick return touchdowns, and two organizations that showed him the door without blinking. Meanwhile the Patriots replaced him and immediately became the most improved special teams unit in football. So why is Green Bay betting on a retread when the third phase has already been a disaster for years? Big Sal breaks down the stats, tells a few stories from Peshtigo, questions his own sanity for caring this much before breakfast, and makes the case that this hire could cost the Packers when it matters most in January. Buckle up, Pack Nation.

The phones are ringing and Packer Nation is fired up. Tonight's After Dark dives deep into the growing anxiety around this roster — from Brian Gutekunst's drafting track record to the bombshell NFLPA player survey that has Ryan seeing red about the coaching staff narrative we've all been fed. Callers and Ryan hash out the butterfly effect of recent draft decisions, including the Van Ness over JSN debate and what the offensive line failures mean for Jordan Love's elite clean-pocket ability The NFLPA survey results spark a heated rant about Bisaccia's supposed "beloved" status and LaFleur's surprisingly low player ratings — and the gaslighting from insiders who swore the locker room loved them Honest assessment of the roster thinning out: losing Quay Walker, Emmanuel Wilson, potentially Elton Jenkins, and what it means when you're replacing faster than you're building Caller suggestions for new segments, Bears fans coping with the Soldier Field situation, a BBQ care package update, and a push to get Colin on the show for his draft takes This is the unfiltered, late-night conversation Packers fans need right now.

Kenyan Sadiq just shattered Vernon Davis's 20-year-old tight end 40-yard dash record, Dylan Thenaman put together one of the most dominant safety workouts in years, and this combine is rewriting draft boards in real time. Today's Draft Room breaks it all down. Drew from Green Bay kicks things off with a deep dive on why the edge class is full of traps and why linebacker depth could be the smarter play for the Packers in the mid-to-late rounds Full tight end combine breakdown featuring Sadiq's 4.39 forty, Eli Stowers' record-setting broad jump, and Sam Roush's sneaky-good workout as a TE2 candidate The historically fast safety group gets the spotlight — Thenaman's "whiplash-worthy" movement drills, Bud Clark answering speed questions, VJ Payne emerging as a sleeper, and AJ Halsey checking every box as a thumper Cornerback winners and losers including Avon Terrell's elite footwork, Toriano Pride's blazing 4.32, and Davis Ignosin's stilted movement raising serious red flags Whether you're building a big board or just trying to figure out who your team should target, this episode is packed with combine intel you need to hear.

The NFLPA report cards are out, and the results confirm what many Packers fans have felt in their gut for a long time — this coaching staff has a credibility problem. Ryan dives deep into every category of the 2026 report cards, breaking down where Green Bay ranks among all 32 teams, and the picture isn't pretty for a franchise that prides itself on being "first class." The Packers ranked just 21st overall, with coaching staff dragging the organization down to 26th in that category Matt LaFleur graded as the second-lowest rated active head coach in the NFL by his own players — below every other NFC North coach The "most beloved man in football" Rich Bisaccia received a dead-average B+ from players, with 14 special teams coordinators graded higher Training staff ranked 28th overall with players frustrated by a one-size-fits-all approach to injuries Ryan addresses the Sean Ryan free agency situation and why he assumes the center will be re-signed Ryan pulls no punches on the disconnect between what the organization says publicly about its coaches and what the players revealed on a private ballot. Are the Packers sliding from contender to irrelevance? The data is starting to paint a troubling picture. Subscribe, rate, and leave a review to help the show grow.

The callers came with heat tonight and we matched every bit of it. From a wild Bisaccia payout conspiracy theory to a full breakdown of why the Packers' obsession with explosive plays is built on a logical fallacy, this episode covers the uncomfortable questions Green Bay's front office refuses to answer. Uncle Rico kicks off the offensive line debate — bigger doesn't have to mean less athletic, and the Packers abandoned a formula that was working A caller floats the theory that Bisaccia tanked his way to a payout, and honestly... it tracks more than it should Bruce from El Paso asks the question of the offseason: what exactly is changing under Ed Policy, and why can't anyone give us a straight answer? The explosive plays myth gets dismantled — great offenses produce big plays, not the other way around, and LaFleur still hasn't figured that out Micah Parsons vs. Isaiah Simmons becomes a masterclass in why "he can play everywhere" is a red flag, not a selling point The new special teams coordinator hire gets an early look, and the résumé raises some eyebrows Matthew Golden's usage remains baffling when destiny is literally staring this team in the face Stop sleeping on the draft tools — build your board, track your takes, and get ready for draft season at NFLDraftGrades.com.

The NFL Combine just blew the draft board wide open. Sonny Styles posted a 43.5-inch vertical — 100th percentile — and a 134-inch broad jump that had NFL Network comparing his workout to Calvin Johnson's. He went from a mid-first-round projection to a consensus top-five lock overnight, and the Micah Parsons comparisons are flying. Meanwhile, the rest of the class reminded everyone why this draft is historically weak at the top. Sonny Styles and Arvell Reese have essentially become mirror-image prospects — same school, same position, same 40 time — and both could go top five as versatile pass-rush weapons Caller Drew highlights Kentucky DT David Gusta, who ran a 4.88 at 308 pounds and posted a 9.75 RAS, turning himself into a legitimate day-three riser with starter upside Lee Hunter's disastrous 5.18 forty and 21.5-inch vert earned a 3.72 RAS, likely killing his second-round hype for Packers fans Malachi Lawrence from UCF may have been the biggest winner of the entire day, going from fringe top-100 to potential top-50 with a 9.9 RAS at edge rusher Lindsay Rhodes' insider observations paint a sobering picture: the top of this class is underwhelming, the pivot-and-adapt era is here, and power slot receivers may be the next league-wide obsession Caller Garrett raises a fascinating question about leveraging projected 2027 compensatory picks to trade up in this year's draft Hit subscribe so you never miss a Draft Room breakdown, and call in — this is your show as much as it is ours. #NFLDraft #NFLCombine #GreenBayPackers #DraftRoom #SonnyStyles #PackersDraft This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

Packers Total Access : Breaking Down The LB Combine Info & Who May Be On The Packers Radar

Ryan loses his mind over Ocho's viral claim that Caleb Williams is the most talented quarterback of all time — then dismantles it play by play. What starts as a highlight reel gets exposed for exactly what it is: filtered touchdown passes against busted coverages and trick plays dressed up as serious film analysis. The rant is equal parts hilarious and surgical. Ryan breaks down why stitching together 30-yard touchdown highlights is not "the tape" and why Ocho's analysis doesn't hold up to even basic scrutiny The DeVondre Sweat-to-Jets trade for Jermaine Johnson gets a quick hit reaction — what it means for both teams and why player-for-player swaps are so rare Teamworks acquires Pro Football Focus, and Ryan explains why this could either supercharge PFF or kill its consumer-facing product entirely Special teams coordinator interviews are heating up with four candidates coming in for in-person meetings — a hire could come by the weekend Javon Bullard's elite coverage numbers put him in company with Kyle Hamilton and Derwin James Free agency and the new league year are less than two weeks away, so buckle up — things are about to move fast.

Ryan hits the microphone in a raw, unfiltered state after seeing the latest organizational grades drop — and what starts as a temperature check on the Packers roster turns into a full-blown reckoning with the direction of this franchise. Kyle from Madison kicks things off asking the question every fan is wrestling with: are the Packers a legitimate contender, or are they a Micah Parsons injury away from irrelevance? Ryan unloads on the Packers' inability to develop draft picks and the troubling trend of building through free agency like "garbage teams do" Matt LaFleur's leadership comes under the microscope — liked by everyone, but will players actually go to war for him? The season ticket resale debate heats up as a passionate ticket holder pushes back on Ryan's ID proposal Uncle Rico checks in with a hilarious breakdown of the Bears' stadium saga and their toothless leverage game Callers demand a killer instinct — why does this team keep taking its foot off the gas with leads? Ryan spirals into an honest rant about information overload, the Olympics losing their magic, and why we might all be too dumb for transparency Plus: pork belly on the smoker, podcast distribution headaches, and the Indiana Bears jokes keep rolling Grab a seat, call in, and let it out — this is your late-night therapy session for Packers frustration. #Packers #GreenBay #PackerNet #NFL #AfterDark #PackersRant #MattLaFleur #Gutey #NFLDraft #FreAgency This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

Packers Total Access : LIVE Combine Reaction To DT Measurments!

The Packers are heading into the offseason with the worst offensive line of the PFF era, and Ryan isn't buying what Brian Gutekunst is selling. Today's episode dives deep into the numbers behind Aaron Banks' career — and the data tells a very different story than the GM's glowing endorsement at the combine. A full PFF breakdown of Aaron Banks' career grades reveals a player who has never cracked the top 20 at his position, despite his massive contract and $9.5 million roster bonus looming on day three of the league year Ryan challenges the Packers' philosophical shift toward bigger, stronger offensive linemen, arguing the team has historically dominated with smaller, athletic technicians — and the power approach has produced nothing but failure Combine day one highlights including Florida kicker Trey Smack drilling a 60-yarder after getting iced, plus quick hits on Aaron Rodgers' timeline, Tyler Linderbaum's market-setting deal, and the Brian Thomas trade rumors Early clues on Jeff Gannon's defensive scheme suggest a 3-4 base with nickel principles — and why that's actually exciting news for Micah Parsons and Rashan Gary Is the front office in denial, or do they see something the stats don't?

The quarterback market is getting desperate, offensive tackle stock is crumbling, and the Combine is about to shake up the entire 2026 draft board. Ryan dives deep into the chaos unfolding across the NFL as teams scramble for answers heading into draft season. Key Discussion Points: The Vikings are "exploring all quarterback options" while JJ McCarthy sits on the roster — what that really signals and why drafting a QB before hiring a GM would be organizational malpractice Multiple teams including the Browns, Dolphins, and Jets are hunting for quarterback solutions, with Malik Willis hysteria reaching a fever pitch and teams calling Carolina about Andy Dalton Some NFL teams believe no offensive tackle in this class deserves a top 10 pick, a stunning departure from consensus rankings on Mauigoa and Fano Combine spotlight prospects who need to prove themselves: Ty Simpson, Garrett Nussmeier, Akeem Mesidor, Aiden Fisher, and Emmanuel McNeil-Warren each face make-or-break moments A passionate case for why the "mediocre draft class" narrative is lazy and why fans should invest in knowing prospects beyond the first round Don't just follow the first round — dig into the full draft with us and subscribe for year-round coverage! #NFLDraft #NFLCombine #DraftRoom #NFLDraft2026 #PackernetPodcast This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

Packers Total Access : Talkin Defensive Tackle, Cornerback & Offensive Line Prospects!

Brian Gutekunst Talks at the Combine

The phones are ringing and the callers are NOT holding back. Tonight's After Dark kicks off with a full-blown roast of the Chicago Bears and their fans' endless excuses for empty seats — turns out "there's so much to do in Chicago" doesn't hold up when your team might be moving to Hammond, Indiana. That "stupid piece of paper" Packers fans hold doesn't seem so stupid now, does it? The show takes a more serious turn as callers and Ryan reflect on the tragic losses within the Minnesota Vikings organization and the broader mental health struggles NFL players face when their identity is stripped away by injury or decline — from Jaire Alexander to Romeo Doubs to Christian Watson, the emotional toll of the league is real and worth talking about. Callers also dive into the special teams coordinator search and whether the Packers are willing to sacrifice offensive or defensive practice time to fix the unit, the backup quarterback debate and whether "planning to lose" without a quality backup is a fireable offense, one caller's passionate plea for Ryan to get a press pass, and a quick detour into why nobody's been talking about the Winter Olympics.

The Combine is here and the rumors are flying. In this episode, we dive headfirst into the flood of news pouring out of Indianapolis as scouts, GMs, and media collide for the first time this offseason. From Kirk Cousins getting his walking papers in Atlanta to the stunning freefall of quarterbacks across draft boards, there's a lot to unpack. The bizarre quarterback class where former projected first-rounders like Chet Club Nick, Carson Beck, and Drew Allar are plummeting into Day 3 territory, and why that's actually great news for some teams Jordan Tyson skipping Combine workouts and why the outrage is completely overblown Fernando Mendoza's quiet rise as a "special prospect" that nobody seems to want to talk about — and the Cam Ward comparison nobody wants to hear Deep dives into the Raiders, Dolphins, and Jets as the NFL's most desperate rebuilds collide with a thin quarterback market Free agency rumblings including Trey Hendrickson, Jalen Waddle trade talk, Malik Willis to Miami or Arizona, and receivers Alec Pierce and George Pickens commanding $27M annually Whether you're building your mock draft or just trying to keep up with the Combine chaos, this one's packed wall to wall. #NFLDraft #NFLCombine #DraftRoom #GreenBayPackers #PackernetPodcast This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

Packers Total Access : Packers Comp Pick Breakdown + What Should Gutey Do At Stackbacker?

The NFL Combine is underway and there's no shortage of Packers-related intel to break down. Ryan kicks things off with the official death of the tush push ban — no team even submitted a proposal this year, despite league-wide usage actually increasing. So much for player safety concerns. The Packers have a formal meeting scheduled with LSU linebacker Harold Perkins Jr., a former five-star recruit with elite pass rush ability but serious questions about his ACL recovery and undersized frame Rasheed Walker's free agent market could hit $25 million per year, with the Chiefs, Patriots, and even the Lions reportedly circling — and what that means for Green Bay's compensatory pick formula Elgton Jenkins is "widely expected" to be released before the league year, adding another name to the painful list of Packers talent that never reached its ceiling Green Bay is meeting with a surprising number of small-school quarterbacks at the Combine, plus a deep dive on kicker Marco Jovisick and tight end prospect Eli Stowers The Packers double down on their warning to season ticket holders who resell — and Ryan lays out exactly how he'd enforce it Get your calls in for tomorrow's show and stay locked in as Combine week heats up.

Using real first and second round selections posted by group members as the foundation, each third-round pick becomes a legitimate exercise in evaluating need, value, and available talent as the board thins out. All 36 third-round selections broken down pick by pick, including team needs, player evaluations, and positional value analysis The Packers land Jake Slaughter, offensive center out of Florida, as teams passing on the position let him fall perfectly into Green Bay's lap Garrett Nussmeier to Arizona as a Day 2 QB, the Steelers finally addressing offense after heavy defensive investments, and why Miami needs three straight trench players A deep look at which positions accumulate value in the third round, from the run on corners and defensive tackles to the surprising tight end and safety selections late in the round Drop your own mock drafts in the NFL Draft Fanatics Facebook group and make sure your fan base is represented — 30,000 members strong and growing.

Packers Total Access : Breaking Down Gutey's Athletic Thresholds 

It's Mock Draft Monday, and this time YOU built the board. Ryan takes fan-submitted draft crushes from the Packernet Facebook group and X to construct a complete seven-round mock draft for the Packers — and the results might surprise you. Full breakdown of all seven picks including CB Chris Johnson (SDSU) at 52, DT Dominic Orange (Iowa State) at 84, OL Cage Casey (Boise State) at 120, C Pat Coogan (Indiana) at 158, RB Robert Henry Jr. (UTSA) at 200, CB Devon Marshall (NC State) at 237, and LB Red Murdock (Buffalo) at 257 Deep scouting profiles on each prospect with PFF grades, injury histories, pro comps, and scheme fits for Green Bay's defense and zone-blocking offense The Aaron Jones comp for Robert Henry Jr. that's "almost eerie," and why Red Murdock's NCAA-record 17 career forced fumbles make him a potential steal of the draft Jennings Dunker update: he's slid to consensus #52 overall, putting him squarely in Packers range Don't forget — the NFL Combine kicks off now, so stay locked in for updated prospect intel and Brian Gutekunst's upcoming press conference. #Packers #NFLDraft #MockDraft #GreenBayPackers #PackerNet #NFLCombine This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

The Sunday night crew brings the heat heading into Combine week with a loaded call-in session tackling the Packers' biggest questions. The conversation dives deep into Green Bay's offensive line woes, with callers and Ryan breaking down the alarming lack of development along the front five and what needs to change with Morgan and Belton getting locked into positions this offseason. Callers dismantle the Caleb Williams arm talent hype, arguing that every NFL quarterback can make elite throws and that the Bears' success was fueled by historic luck unlikely to repeat The great defensive draft debate: should the Packers prioritize defensive backs to complement Micah, or double down on the pass rush? A passionate breakdown of why the backup quarterback position matters more than people admit, with Ryan revisiting his own past takes Fans sound off on the team's need for vocal alpha leaders and a tougher mentality in the locker room The calls keep rolling as the offseason officially kicks into high gear with the Combine starting tomorrow.

How much should a torn ACL actually move a prospect down your board? In this episode of the Draft Room, we dig into real orthopedic studies and data spanning decades of NFL Combine medical evaluations to answer one of the most underrated questions in draft analysis — how do pre-draft injuries actually impact career production, and are NFL teams overcorrecting in the early rounds? Key Discussion Points: Deep dive into the Brophy 2008 study and a 2018 systematic review covering 32 studies on how specific injuries (ACL, rotator cuff, Lisfranc, spinal) correlate to fewer games, lower snap counts, and shortened careers Football Outsiders data suggesting teams overcorrect for injury in early rounds, creating value windows for savvy drafters A thorough breakdown of why "Best Player Available" is more myth than reality — and why tier-based drafting with need awareness is the smarter approach Pronunciation guide for commonly mispronounced 2026 prospects including Ihana Chore, Wetjen (Wee-Jin), Mauigoa, Pregnon, and more Whether you're building your own big board or just want to understand how NFL front offices really think about medical risk, this one's packed with actionable insight.

The Packers have added another name to the special teams coordinator search, and Ryan is losing his mind over it. Sam Sewell, the former assistant special teams coordinator for the Arizona Cardinals — a unit that finished 30th in DVOA — is the latest interview, and the pattern of targeting coaches from the league's worst units continues to baffle. From there, Ryan breaks down the full NFL Combine schedule day by day and maps out every critical offseason date from legal tampering through training camp. Deep dive into the Rasheed Walker tag-and-trade scenario and why the math makes it dead on arrival at a $28 million tag price Full breakdown of Packers trade candidates including Rashawn Gary, Elton Jenkins, Aaron Banks, Josh Jacobs, Keyshawn Nixon, and more — with contract details and realistic return values Rob Demovsky's latest notes on Jordan Morgan, Quay Walker's price tag, Malik Willis's market, and Romeo Doubs' future Ryan fires back at ESPN's Evan Cohen and the tired national narrative questioning Jordan Love after three consecutive strong PFF grades Hit subscribe and leave a review to help the show grow.

The Friday night phones are lit up and the callers came ready to throw haymakers. Tonight's Packernet After Dark kicks off with a deep dive into the Bears' stadium saga — and the absolute roasting that follows their potential move to Hammond, Indiana. The callers can't contain themselves, and neither can we. The Bears-to-Hammond news dominates the night as callers pile on Illinois' inability to keep its own historic franchise, complete with population comparisons to Green Bay and relentless ribbing about the "Hammond Bears" A thoughtful debate breaks out over whether the Packers should draft a backup quarterback or pursue a veteran like Justin Fields, with Dakota from Tennessee making the case for NFL-experienced backups Special teams coordinator candidates Kyle Wilbur and Tom McMahon get the statistical breakdown treatment, and the numbers aren't pretty — sparking a bigger question about whether any available coordinator can actually improve the unit The offensive line conversation resurfaces with a painful "what if we drafted Creed Humphrey" butterfly effect, plus callers weigh in on Belichick's Hall of Fame snub and the podcast officially names its Poet Laureate Subscribe, leave a review, and call in next time — new callers go straight to the front of the line at 608-501-0718! #Packers #GreenBayPackers #PackernetAfterDark #ChicagoBears #HammondBears #NFLOffseason #GoPackGo #SpecialTeams #BackupQB #NFL This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

What if almost nothing at the NFL Combine actually predicts success? Ryan went deep into the data — correlating height, weight, 40 time, vertical, bench, broad jump, shuttle, and three-cone results against NFL career value scores — and the results are humbling. Almost every metric across every position lands squarely in the "noise" category. But what emerged from the frustration is a powerful new way to think about prospect evaluation. Position-by-position correlation breakdown reveals almost zero signal in any individual combine drill, with the 40-yard dash showing some of the weakest predictive value of all Surprising inverse correlations: why slower 40 times, lower verticals, and weaker bench numbers sometimes trend with more successful players — and what that actually means The offensive tackle vertical jump mystery: a negative .314 correlation that challenges everything we assume about explosiveness Ryan introduces the "Craftsman vs. Weapon" framework — why how a player uses their physical tools matters far more than the tools themselves, and how to think about "buckets" when evaluating prospects at the Combine Stop chasing the shiny 40 time and start asking the real question: can this player actually use what he's got?

Packers Total Access : PFF 3 Round Mock Draft Reaction

Brett Favre is saying what we've all been thinking — the NFL is chasing people who don't watch football at the expense of the fans who built this league. Ryan breaks down why the league's obsession with appealing to non-fans is a dangerous path and draws a powerful parallel to institutions that lose their identity trying to be everything to everyone. Brett Favre's comments on the NFL losing touch with its core fanbase and why Ryan has been saying the same thing for years The Chicago Bears' stadium saga takes a hilarious turn as a Bears fan visits Hammond, Indiana and immediately regrets his enthusiasm — plus Halas Hall relocation rumors and a brutal 13.5% ticket price hike Mark Murphy casually drops that the Packers are likely playing in Germany this season, and why an 18-game schedule with two bye weeks could actually work The Packers' special teams coordinator search is underway with Tom McMahon, Kyle Wilber, and Cameron Achord emerging as candidates — and Ryan's frustration with the Rich Bisaccia coaching tree obsession Lions making Jahmyr Gibbs the highest-paid RB, Chiefs falling apart, and Brian Gutekunst set to speak at the Combine on Tuesday Hit subscribe and leave a rating so more Packer fans can find the show.
