Where \"Draft and Develop\" isn't just a philosophy...it's a way of life.
After Friday’s selections, Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst admitted that the team tried to trade back into the end of the third round to make another draft choice. “We took some cracks at getting back at the bottom of the third round,” said Gutekunst, who doesn’t believe that the Packers need to “make […]
By now, you probably know the story about Tennessee cornerback Jermod McCoy, who is dealing with a bone plug issue that is leading to his fall in the draft. Originally projected as a top-15 pick, McCoy has slipped into Day 3 of the draft and is by far the highest-ranked player who is still available […]
The Green Bay Packers moved up in the third round of the 2026 NFL draft to take Missouri defensive tackle Chris McClellan. Originally, the Packers held the 84th overall pick in the third round. They moved that selection and the 160th pick, their original fifth-round pick, to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the 77th overall […]
The Green Bay Packers have made their first pick of the 2026 NFL Draft, selecting cornerback Brandon Cisse out of South Carolina. The player, position, and value all lined up perfectly for Cisse, who should be a very interesting addition to the cornerback room. This was a good value pick based on the consensus board. […]
The Green Bay Packers drafted South Carolina cornerback Brandon Cisse with the 52nd overall pick in the 2026 class, their first draft choice this year after trading their first-round pick as part of the Micah Parsons trade. Cisse was considered to be one of the top players available on the board when the Packers were […]
Going through an entire night of the NFL Draft without your team having a pick is a long and bizarre experience, but Green Bay Packers fans got through it on Thursday night and now are ready to get excited to finally add some players on night two. Rounds two and three are nearly here, and […]
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Green Bay Packers have extended slot receiver Jayden Reed to a three-year deal worth $50.25 million in new money and $20 million in guarantees. This comes off an offseason where the Packers allowed Romeo Doubs to hit the open market and sign with the New England Patriots in free […]
There may be Green Bay Packers fans who think that the team should have found a way to trade back up into the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft on Thursday, but those fans are going to be very hard to find. The Packers went into the NFL Draft without a first-round draft pick […]
The Green Bay Packers will finally be making a draft pick today, so let’s take a look at who some of the experts have the Packers taking with the 52nd overall pick. Below are the results of eight Day 2 mock draft (yes, this is a thing) for Green Bay’s selections. The Athletic CBS Sports […]
The first round of the 2026 NFL Draft is behind us, but the Green Bay Packers’ picks are all still to come. Green Bay heads into day two of the draft with picks 52 and 84 overall in rounds two and three, respectively, and there are still plenty of exciting players available after 32 names […]
For the first time since the NFL Draft went to its current three-day format, the Green Bay Packers went into the event without a first-round pick. That made for a long wait for general manager Brian Gutekunst and the team’s front office — not to mention Packers fans — but that wait will finally end […]

If you can believe it, there are still 19 more picks that need to be made before the Green Bay Packers are on the clock for the first time in the 2026 draft with the 52nd overall selection. The Packers didn’t have a first-round pick this year because of the Micah Parsons trade, which sent […]
The Green Bay Packers didn’t have a first-round pick on Thursday, as they spent what ended up being the 20th overall pick in the 2026 draft on their trade for edge rusher Micah Parsons, so you might not have been as locked into Day 1 of the draft as a usual year. If that sounds […]
The Dallas Cowboys are currently on the clock with the 20th overall pick, so I wanted to ask you guys who you would have taken if the Green Bay Packers held their original first-round pick in the 2026 draft and didn’t send it to Dallas for pass-rusher Micah Parsons. Fire off your answer in the […]
It’s finally here! The 2026 NFL Draft kicks off in Pittsburgh this evening, getting the biggest weekend of the NFL offseason underway. Tonight consists of round one, and 32 players will hear their names called to start their NFL careers. Impressively, seven of the 32 first-round picks have already changed hands prior to the start […]
Every draft cycle has a surprise story — a player who slipped through the cracks, defied expectations, and made evaluators question what they missed. In 2026, that story belongs to Jordan van den Berg, a name most draft rooms weren’t tracking until very recently. A native of Johannesburg, South Africa, van den Berg’s path to […]
Please see Part 1 here, and Part 2 here. More on SiYAA here. If you’re being drafted in the sixth of seventh rounds (or not at all) there’s generally a good reason for that, but with the following three players, athleticism is NOT that reason. Two of the three have top 20 all-time RAS scores, […]
For the first time in my entire football-watching life (that part of my brain came online around 1992), the Packers enter the NFL Draft without a first-round pick. I’m not a Packers historian (paging Jon Meerdink), but I believe that the last time that happened was 1986. Sure, the Packers have sold off their first […]
So you didn’t get one of the early guys. Not to worry! Some of the remaining options might be even better! A few of them are even bigger and faster, like Bryce Lance, who posted the 23rd highest RAS of all time! Please check out part 1 here, and the SiYAA article, if you are […]
Wednesday of Draft week is here, which means it’s time for football analysts to submit their final mocks for the 2026 NFL Draft. This writer is back in the fray once again, as I have made my one and only formal mock for this season. I performed this exercise in both 2023 and 2025, and […]
One of the oddest pieces of the Green Bay Packers’ run-up to the 2026 NFL Draft was a recent report by Bill Huber of Sports Illustrated that the team had held a Top-30 formal visit with an unknown, unnamed quarterback. What made the report especially odd is that Huber said he was “asked not to […]
The 2026 NFL Draft is nearly here. Three days of excitement, hope, and probably a little bit of chaos await football fans this weekend as the annual marathon event begins on Thursday evening. The Green Bay Packers head into this year’s draft with eight selections, but without a first-round pick after trading it away to […]
The Green Bay Packers’ wide receiver depth chart, as it currently exists on Ourlads.com, includes exactly two players who I would consider “big:” Christian Watson and barely-a-receiver Savion Williams. Last year’s first rounder, Matthew Golden, is 5-11 and 191 pounds. Jayden Reed is 5-11, 187 pounds. The newly acquired Skyy Moore is 5-10, 195. Former […]
We all know the NFL Draft is a little bit silly. What takes three days could be done in a handful of hours if the league really wanted to. They shouldn’t; the spectacle is enjoyable. But we can at least acknowledge that it’s silly. And a good deal of that silliness is kayfabe — stagecraft […]
