Where \"Draft and Develop\" isn't just a philosophy...it's a way of life.
Patience is an overused sports cliché. It’s also an unavoidable truth. Just ask Micah Parsons, who has reframed his ACL recovery not as a race back to dominance, but as a deliberate exercise in mindset. Talking recently with SI’s Bill Huber, Parsons distilled the experience into a simple idea: “you’ve got to walk before you […]
The draft has come and gone and now my favorite part of the cycle starts: digging into all the new bright, shiny toys and seeing how they may fit on the team. Today, we’re taking a look at Dani Dennis-Sutton, the edge rusher from Penn State. His RAS paints a pretty clear picture: a big […]
In surprising news this week, the New York Giants signed a veteran defensive tackle, but not the one they were rumored to be signing. Check that. They signed two veteran defensive tackles. This was after D.J. Reader was rumored to be heading to the Giants after the draft. The reason why pretty much everyone left […]
Most of the Packers’ ambitions for the 2026 NFL Draft were already tied up in the prodigious talents of Micah Parsons. We’ve known that since they made the uncharacteristically bold move to free the formerly disgruntled pass rusher from the clutches of the Dallas Cowboys. But that’s not to say the Packers had a quiet […]
For 21 consecutive seasons, the Green Bay Packers have had an undrafted rookie make the team’s Week 1 roster, so chances are that at least one of the players that Green Bay signed after the draft will make the team in 2026. We’re opening up the floor for your guesses on who that player will […]
Officially, the Green Bay Packers gave Jayden Reed a three-year, $50.25 million contract extension when the deal was submitted to the league. This move was reported five days ago, but the details of the contract have only just become public. As reported originally, he earned $20 million in full guarantees, $16.5 million of which comes […]
For fans, the NFL Draft is the finish line. For the Packers, it’s more like the starting gun. All of the weeks and weeks (and months and months) of work the Packers’ personnel department did to put together their draft board and then execute their vision did little more than reward them with more work […]
It’s that time of the year. The Green Bay Packers have until May 1st to decide whether or not to pick up the fifth-year option of 2023 first-round draft pick Lukas Van Ness. Van Ness, who is the same age as many draft picks from the 2026 draft, was taken 13th overall in the 2023 […]
Personally, I think the Green Bay Packers did a pretty good job in the 2026 draft, considering they did not have a first-round pick. Dani Dennis-Sutton in the fourth round and Domani Jackson in the sixth round were two of the better value selections in the class to me, and they grabbed the top-ranked (healthy) […]
The Green Bay Packers aren’t huge spenders in undrafted free agency (yes, guaranteed money is a major factor for signing top players), but they do pick their spots at times. Whatever they’re doing is right, though, as the team has had an undrafted rookie make the team for 21 consecutive years. Who will it be […]
Let’s get the obvious take out of the way: draft grades are worthless for at least three years (I’d say even as long as five). Trying to figure out if any team, the Packers or otherwise, did well on draft weekend while we’re less than a week removed from draft weekend is pointless. That said, […]
Back on January 28th, the Montreal Alouettes added Virginia Tech quarterback Kyron Drones to their negotiation list, which is the process that the Canadian Football League has to allocate American players to its teams. For those unaware, each CFL team can place up to 45 players on their negotiation list, giving them “dibs” on these […]
The Green Bay Packers’ class of selections in the 2026 NFL Draft was their smallest in more than 20 years, as the team traded up twice on draft weekend to end with just six picks. However, those picks hit on numerous critical positions of need, particularly on defense. General manager Brian Gutekunst addressed the cornerback […]
It’s 4 pm ET on the Monday after the draft, meaning that any free agents now signed by NFL clubs no longer count as compensatory free agents and won’t count against the compensatory free agent formula. This is pretty important to the Green Bay Packers, who should be expecting to receive a third-round pick (Malik […]
Monday was the first day in the building for most of the Green Bay Packers’ rookies, including the six members of their 2026 NFL Draft class. The first day at a new job comes with butterflies for many players, but for NFL Draft picks one of the first things they get to do is fun: […]
I was lucky enough to attend the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft in Pittsburgh. On the whole, it was a great event. Pittsburgh is a fun city, the weather was wonderful, and it was fun to hang out with fans from across the NFL as they alternately cheered for their teams’ selections and […]
The Green Bay Packers put together their smallest NFL Draft class in more than two decades, but this group of players is hardly short on talent or value. General manager Brian Gutekunst’s long weekend got started with a quiet Thursday night, thanks to the team having traded its first-round pick, but once Friday arrived the […]
Back in April of 2023, I wrote an article explaining how poorly Anders Carlson compared to other recently drafted kicking prospects. Since the drafting of Florida kicker Trey Smack, I’ve been asked by Green Bay Packers fans to update the numbers and explain where Smack lies on the Carlson to Good spectrum. Beyond physical skills […]
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport is reporting that UAB running back Isaiah Jacobs, brother of Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs, is going to get a tryout opportunity at the Packers’ rookie minicamp next week. For those not in the know, rookie minicamp is a week of practices when the team gets hands-on work with […]
The Green Bay Packers’ official website has not been updated with the team’s undrafted free agent signings, but the team has reportedly signed 11 undrafted free agents following the 2026 draft. That number makes a lot of sense, since with the six-man rookie draft class, it brings the team’s roster count to a full 91 […]
Alright, now that the draft is over, let’s take a look at what the 2026 Green Bay Packers could look like going into Week 1 of the regular season. Obviously, some things will change between now and then. The Packers aren’t afraid to sign free agents (especially in non-compensatory free agency, which will start on […]
We won’t know for sure how good the crop of players that general manager Brian Gutekunst just drafted is going to be until three years or so down the line, but that won’t stop us from speculating. I took a look at 10 draft grades that were handed out to the Green Bay Packers by […]

Do you remember the name Russell Maryland? Green Bay Packers fans of a certain age should. Maryland had a 10-year NFL career during the 1990s, one that concluded after the 2000 season, which he spent playing for the Green Bay Packers. Maryland started his career out as the #1 overall pick in the 1991 NFL […]
The Green Bay Packers tried to keep their interest in athletic quarterback Kyron Drones under wraps leading up to the 2026 NFL Draft. After having him in for a Top-30 pre-draft visit, the team initially attempted to keep news of that visit from making it out into the press. However, Bill Huber of Sports Illustrated […]
