Where \"Draft and Develop\" isn't just a philosophy...it's a way of life.
Let’s add another player to the list of pre-draft visitors with the Green Bay Packers, and this one checks just about every box of the typical Packers visitor. Small-school player? Check. Elite athlete? Check. Likely to be a late-round pick or undrafted free agent? Check. Enter Michael Heldman, a defensive end out of Central Michigan, […]
Sports Illustrated’s Bill Huber is reporting that the Green Bay Packers will bring in Texas A&M cornerback Will Lee III for a pre-draft visit. I can’t lie: I’m pretty stoked about this one. While Lee only ran a 4.52-second 40-yard dash at the combine, he plays much faster than that (can cover drag routes from […]
We’ve previously hit on the quarterback and running back positions, so next up to bat in our draft series are the receivers. Let’s take you through what the Green Bay Packers’ depth chart looks like, what the draft class looks like and what the Packers could potentially do at the position on draft week. Packers […]
The Packers’ pre-draft visits are a reliable barometer of what the team thinks of an incoming draft class. It’s an open secret so open it’s barely a secret. Track the Packers’ visits and you’ll have a pretty good idea what they’re planning for a given year’s draft. For example, last year, they focused most of […]
The 2026 NFL Draft is now less than two weeks away, but barring something truly shocking, the Green Bay Packers will not be on the clock until two Fridays from now, having traded away their first-round selection. Their first selection at 52 overall should be in the middle of a really interesting group of defensive […]
The Green Bay Packers have no first-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, though this is a better year than most for that to be the case. The general consensus on this year’s class is that it is stronger and deeper in day-two prospects than it is a at the top, with only a handful […]
The NFL has announced that 16 players will be attending the NFL draft live in person when the event kicks off in Pittsburgh later this month. Let’s break down who is going to be there, who isn’t and what it could mean on draft day. All players are ranked by their current ranking on the […]
Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst is doing his homework on this year’s running back class. After earlier reports that the Packers were bringing in Arkansas running back Mike Washington Jr. for a top-30 visit, reports have emerged mid-week that Indiana Hoosiers RB Kaelon Black will also be coming in prior to the 2026 […]
Generally speaking, I only deal with offensive skill position players come draft time because they have the largest number of publicly available metrics cataloguing their exploits. However, the Green Bay Packers don’t really need any receivers or tight ends, and if you need a quarterback this year, well, good luck with that. The Packers do […]
Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is reporting that the Green Bay Packers will have New Mexico running back Damon Bankston on a pre-draft visit. Notably, Bankston took two kickoff returns for a touchdown in the 2025 season. At the moment, the Packers’ top kickoff options for the 2026 season are receiver Savion Williams […]
We touched on the quarterback position yesterday, so let’s take a look at their partners in the backfield today. Here’s where the Green Bay Packers’ offseason roster stands right now and the options that the team has at the running back position in the upcoming NFL Draft.

We’re two weeks away from the 2026 NFL Draft. Are you ready? If you’re like me, you’ve been ready for at least a month, maybe more. As soon as the NFL Combine is over and done with and I’ve had a chance to digest the results, I’m ready to get on to the main event. […]
According to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the Green Bay Packers had in Texas Tech quarterback Behren Morton for a pre-draft visit on Tuesday. The Packers are limited to just 30 of these pre-draft visits and usually end up targeting the players who come in, either as draft choices, undrafted free agents or […]
There have been a few pleasant side effects of the Packers not having a first round pick this year. One was getting to watch Micah Parsons in a Packers uniform, and we’ll get to enjoy that again this fall, whenever he returns from his torn ACL. But another is better draft coverage. People covering the […]
With the 2026 NFL Draft right around the corner, we’re going to start a series where we take a position-by-position breakdown of the Green Bay Packers’ roster and the upcoming draft class. We start today with the most important position in the sport: quarterback. Packers Quarterback Depth Chart It’s clear that Jordan Love is going […]
Alright, let’s talk actual players today. I’ve done my best to watch the top-150-ish prospects in this class at this point, but I’m still cramming to finish the rest of the bunch. As of now, here are the players I like the most for what the Green Bay Packers need and like to do on […]
Here’s a bit of a Rorschach test: was the Packers’ offensive line bad last year? Why or why not? Beyond saying “it wasn’t as good as expected,” I don’t think we can go much farther than that as far as substantive takes, because the real story of the offensive line is this: almost nobody ended […]
The Green Bay Packers’ positions of focus for the 2026 NFL Draft are starting to come into focus. While the Packers are known to draft or sign players who came to the team facilities for formal pre-draft visits, an even more clear sign is the positions of the players whom they invite. With more than […]
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.
