Where \"Draft and Develop\" isn't just a philosophy...it's a way of life.
The news just keeps coming on prospects in the 2026 NFL Draft who will be visiting the Green Bay Packers. Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel is working hard on the beat today, reporting a third visitor of the day to bring the total number of reported visitors up to 10 out of the maximum […]
It might physically kill a top-100 player to run agility drills this year. I’ve been running a Green Bay Packers thresholds big board for the past several years here at Acme Packing Company, an endeavor that grows increasingly futile each and every subsequent year as fewer players in the rounds that matter actually complete testing. […]
While a nose tackle remains a top need for the Green Bay Packers, general manager Brian Gutekunst and his front office are doing their homework on other defensive linemen in the 2026 NFL Draft, including Southeastern Louisiana’s Kaleb Proctor. Tom Silverstein with the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel tweeted on Monday that the Packers were hosting Proctor for […]
The Green Bay Packers have no picks in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft, so it should come as no surprise that none of the players on the list of official pre-draft visitors are among the top group of prospects. Still, the list of names so far reported contain a number of players […]
It doesn’t take much imagination to guess what Ed Policy thinks of the Packers’ soon-to-be unveiled “Rivalries” uniforms. Writing in his monthly column last week, Policy didn’t give many specifics about what the Packers’ uniform would look like, but his response was telling. Answering a fan question about if or when the Packers would ever […]
The Green Bay Packers will be the only NFL team without a naming rights deal on their stadium in a few years. Currently, Lambeau Field stands as one of just two stadiums in the league without a naming deal, Soldier Field being the other. But whenever the Chicago Bears manage to figure out their future […]
Green Bay Packers president and CEO Ed Policy dropped some hints on what the Packers’ new Rivalries jerseys will look like in his recent monthly column. For those who aren’t aware, Nike and the NFL are going to create a new set of alternative uniforms for each team in the league, with two divisions getting […]
NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reported on Friday that the Green Bay Packers, along with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Seattle Seahawks, will bring in Arkansas running back Mike Washington Jr. on a pre-draft visit. At the moment, the Packers have some questions at the running back position, as MarShawn Lloyd has only been able to […]
According to long-time NFL draft analyst Tony Pauline, the Green Bay Packers will be one of five teams that will host Stephen F. Austin cornerback Charles Demmings for a pre-draft visit. Generally, the Packers, at least post-pandemic, have leaned heavily on pre-draft visitors on draft day. Demmings has an interesting background and reasoning for why […]
Impressively, the Green Bay Packers are only a little more than two weeks away from the start of offseason workouts. The NFL released the dates of all of its teams’ offseason programs on Friday afternoon, with several teams set to begin next week. Teams starting on Monday or Tuesday are those with new head coaches, […]
All of the roster and Draft talk around the Green Bay Packers in the last few weeks has seemed to circle around a couple of positions. Nose tackle is still a big need, and the team could definitely use help at cornerback. The wide receiver position remains fascinating as well, as the team might still […]
On Thursday, the Las Vegas Raiders signed Kirk Cousins to an odd contract, with a bunch of fluff added to it, for him to be their bridge quarterback, presumably so that Fernando Mendoza doesn’t have to start all 17 games as a rookie in 2026. On paper, Cousins signed a five-year, $172 million deal, but […]
The Packers have drawn some criticism for the way they’ve handled their offseason so far. Personally, most of the criticism doesn’t really land; I think what the Packers have done makes sense and really couldn’t have played out much differently. There wasn’t much reason to keep most of the free agents who left (or those […]
The human brain wants to see patterns. It’s hardwired into us, and for good reason: seeing patterns keeps us alive. Ever since the first humans were hunting and gathering, we’ve relied on pattern recognition to keep us safe and fed. Here are those bushes where we found those tasty berries before; keep an eye out […]
Now that it’s officially the month of the draft, it’s time to lay it all out there: Who do you want the Green Bay Packers to draft with their first pick of the draft? The Packers won’t be picking until the 52nd overall selection, because they traded their 2026 and 2027 first-round picks in the […]
Since the first few waves of free agency have already concluded, let’s take a look at some other work that the club has put in. At the moment, the team’s decision makers and their scouts are flying all across the country, hitting college pro days in search of information on top 2026 draft prospects. We’ll […]
The NFL’s Annual Meeting in Phoenix is a good reminder of one thing: we’re not far into the Ed Policy era, but he’s already had a lot to navigate. Since Policy took over, the Packers made a major trade and made significant decisions about the future of their front office and their coaching staff, all […]
Don’t expect the NFL to have overlapping Monday Night Football games moving forward, which has occasionally happened in recent years. According to Hans Schroeder, NFL Media’s executive vice president and chief operating officer, that era of the league is behind them. “This speaks to another theme of how we’re always talking to our partners,” Schroeder […]
There’s no better hallmark of draft season than pre-draft visits. These meetings are a crucial part of the Packers’ pre-draft process, and it’s worthwhile to pay attention to who the Packers are bringing in for visits every year. There’s a good chance they’ll end up on the roster at some point. However, the way the […]
The Packers will spend one of their Top 30 visits on Texas Tech edge rusher Romello Height, according to a report from NFL writer Ryan Fowler. Height is a 6-foot-3, 239-pound pass rushing prospect who currently projects as a Day 2 pick in this year’s NFL draft. As of this writing, he’s number 83 on […]
The Packers panopticon has turned to Phoenix, where Brian Gutekunst and Matt LaFleur spoke to the media in between work at the annual NFL owners meetings this week. Mostly, you can ignore these updates. It’s usually a lot of happy talk and company-line talking points. We’re happy with our offseason so far, we’re going to […]
The Green Bay Packers have had their eyes on linebacker Zaire Franklin for some time now, according to general manager Brian Gutekunst. Gutekunst spoke to the press at the NFL league meetings this week, which included this quote about Franklin (h/t The Athletic’s Matt Schneidman): We’ve liked Zaire for a while. Quite frankly, back when […]
Beyond just extensions for tight end Tucker Kraft and receiver Christian Watson, which seem like no-brainers at this point, the Green Bay Packers are apparently eyeing another big extension in the near future. In his article covering the Packers’ current cap situation, here’s what the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s Tom Silverstein had to say about defensive […]
The Green Bay Packers are heading towards the 2026 NFL Draft with a packed wide receiver room, but Georgia State wideout Ted Hurst has drawn some attention from general manager Brian Gutekunst and the team’s scouting department. Hurst was the first reported pre-draft official visit by the Packers, which comes as a bit of a […]
Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is reporting that James Madison safety Jacob Thomas is going to be a Green Bay Packers pre-draft visitor. Generally, visitors have a much higher rate of being added to the Packers than non-visitors, be it via the draft, undrafted free agency or later down the line. Thomas is […]
