Where \"Draft and Develop\" isn't just a philosophy...it's a way of life.
The Green Bay Packers traded away their projected starting nose tackle, Kenny Clar,k in the Micah Parsons trade last August. Clark was expected to be a one-year stopgap for the Dallas Cowboys, simply because of the way his contract was laid out. As it stands right now, he is due $21.5 million in cash in […]
The Green Bay Packers had their share of issues during the 2025 season, but one thing stood out as an encouraging part of their performance throughout last season. Although there were a few issues by individual players, the Packers’ defense, on the whole, tackled very well all year. That was the case even through injuries, […]
It’s been a month, so let’s take another crack at a mock offseason. This one will be shorter than our Mock Offseason 1.0, only because we’ve touched on some of these overarching topics before. With that being said, I would like to make some changes to our current free agency and draft projections in comparison […]
With the hirings made on Sunday morning, the NFL’s offensive play-callers are now set for the 2026 season. As it stands now, there are 18 head coaches who double up as offensive play-callers in the league, 6 who double up as defensive play-callers and just 8 teams that are willing to live in the head-coach-as-CEO […]
The Green Bay Packers are almost certainly going to take a cornerback in the 2026 draft, if not to replace Keisean Nixon, Carrington Valentine or Nate Hobbs in 2026, then to replace the expiring contracts of Nixon, Valentine, Bo Melton and Kamal Hadden in 2027. Nixon, Valentine and Hadden are going into the final year […]
The lone on-field coach who remains on the Green Bay Packers’ defensive staff from the 2025 season is defensive line coach/run game coordinator DeMarcus Covington. There’s a chance he doesn’t even make the initial 2026 staff announcement, though, as the Las Vegas Raiders are interviewing him for their defensive coordinator opening, per NFL.com. The Packers […]
Nobody’s going to come out and tell you Brandon McManus had some kind of secretly good season in 2025. Kicker analysis is about as binary as it gets in football: did you make the ball go between the tall yellow things or not? Far too often in 2025, because of injuries or otherwise, McManus failed […]
Here’s something I’ve been thinking about asking Green Bay Packers fans: Would you redo the Matthew Golden pick if you had the chance? Generally, I think Packers fans are disappointed in Golden’s production, but not necessarily the player. Maybe I’m wrong, but I’d like to hear you guys out on this one. If you need […]
Christian Watson has always been a little bit behind the eight ball in Green Bay. For starters, life is never going to be easy when you’re drafted essentially as the one-to-one replacement for a future Hall of Famer, but that’s what Watson walked into when the Packers took him in the spring of 2022, using […]
The three biggest needs for the Green Bay Packers this offseason are center, nose tackle and cornerback, in some order. We already touched on what the free agent market looks like at the cornerback position, so today I want to hit on nose tackle. Here’s why the Packers need a nose tackle: Packers nose tackle […]
This is not a love letter. It’s more of a like letter. Among Green Bay Packers fans, tight end Luke Musgrave has been a bit of a punching bag. He’s the guy who “falls down after every catch,” the draft pick forever tied to Tucker Kraft. And in that comparison, Musgrave loses every time. But […]
For a guy who only took 21 sacks during the 2025 regular season, Jordan Love sure is taking some hits this offseason. Venerable beat writer Tom Silverstein was among the first to offer pointed criticism of Love, saying in a podcast that he’d prefer Caleb Williams to Love. Then, more recently, Mike Tanier of the […]
When Jonathan Gannon took over as the Green Bay Packers’ defensive coordinator, after a stint as the head coach of the Arizona Cardinals, many tabbed Cardinals defensive coordinator Nick Rallis to be a potential linebackers coach candidate in Green Bay. Rallis was not only Gannon’s DC in Arizona, but he was the one on-field coach […]
There’s been some movement in Green Bay this offseason, as far as the coaching staff and the front office go, but they also are maybe not the moves some fans want to see made. Today, I want to ask you what you think about the Packers’ additions and losses, but first, let’s look at what […]
Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports is reporting that the Green Bay Packers “are expected to hire” Will Redmond, who last served as the general manager of the Auburn Tigers. Yes, college teams have general managers. Welcome to the NIL and portal era. This is the third front office move that we know the Packers will […]
Throughout the postseason, we’ve been stealing plays from other teams and drawing them up for the Green Bay Packers to use in 2026. We’re capping off this mini series with a doozy today and taking a play that the Seahawks ran in the Super Bowl. This play happened with 13:29 left in the 4th quarter […]
With the Super Bowl mercifully behind us, it’s on to the offseason, and the Green Bay Packers face some sobering roster realities. A recent list, published by Greg Auman, highlights just how many Packers could hit the open market or become cap casualties. The list gathers a supposed top 100 free agents for 2026, and […]
Last week, when Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst spoke to the media for the first time since the 2025 regular season kicked off, he stated, “If opportunities present themselves, we’re never not able to do those things,” in reference to the team’s cap situation. Frankly, he’s right in that the Packers can push […]
I want to highlight some offensive line prospects who have a good chance of being picked by the Green Bay Packers in the 2026 NFL Draft, but we first have to establish what the team wants to do at the position. If you hadn’t noticed at this point, the Packers want to run the ball […]
The NFL announced its list of combine invitations on Wednesday, which means we’re only one step closer to draft day. Whenever the list drops, I try to look at which players were “snubbed,” relative to the consensus draft board. For those who are unaware of the process, the combine is actually run by National (NFS), […]
With Malik Willis likely leaving in free agency, the Green Bay Packers need to figure out what their next plan is at backup quarterback behind Jordan Love. There’s a real chance that the Packers are content with their current situation, with Desmond Ridder returning, along with Kyle McCord being signed to a futures contract. However, […]
When quarterbacks coach Sean Mannion left the Green Bay Packers and took the offensive coordinator opportunity with the Philadelphia Eagles, a major vacancy appeared on the team’s coaching staff. While head coach Matt LaFleur interviewed at least one outsider for the job, former Arizona Cardinals pass game coordinator Connor Senger, Mannion’s position has been backfilled […]
For essentially the entire second half of Aaron Rodgers’ career, the Packers decided investing at wide receiver really wasn’t something they wanted to do. That resulted in a pretty bare cupboard outside of Davante Adams, and by the time the team’s relationship with Adams soured, there was nobody left to step up in his absence. […]
The Green Bay Packers don’t have a first-round pick in the 2026 draft (or the 2027 draft for that matter), and there aren’t many mock drafts that are two rounds deep at this point in the draft cycle, so our mock draft round-up won’t be nearly as consistent as it has been in other years. […]
I started my first deep dive into free agency this offseason when I wrote about the cornerback market earlier today. Really, Tariq Woolen or Jaylen Watson seem to make the most sense if the Green Bay Packers are actually going to add an outside veteran at the position. I’ll get some similar pieces up at […]
