Packernet Podcast: Green Bay Packers

Let me tell you somethin, Pack Nation — the NFC North just served up a nine-course meal of embarrassment and Big Sal is STILL hungry for dessert.

NFL Draft Round 1 Recap and Kullen's Top 5 Prospects

Brick Lombardi is behind the mic, it's 24 hours to Round One, and Tundra FM is running three hours of original music to match the only word that fits right now: ominous. While 31 GMs pace hotel rooms and argue with scouts at 2 AM, Brian Gutekunst sleeps. That energy is the whole vibe tonight. "Creeping" — The official soundtrack of every visiting team's slow psychological collapse inside Lambeau Field. Cold walls, cracked paint, 80,000 people who want you dead. You'll feel it. "Yak God" — Tucker Craft. 6'5", 257 lbs, SDSU product, and apparently getting faster. Brick has 30 years in the business and has never seen a tight end treat contact like a personal insult. This one's for him. "Bathroom" — You know who you are. The Shoulder Touch Guy. We made an entire song. Wash your hands. "Be My Couch" — Jordan Love dissects a secondary on Thanksgiving Thursday night, and Sunday becomes a holiday of a different kind: zero stress, turkey sandwiches, and couch sovereignty.

Big Sal from Peshtigo is FIRED UP. The Packers don't have a first-round pick tonight — Gutey shipped it to Dallas for Micah Parsons and Sal would do it again twice over — but that's not what tonight is about. Tonight is about the holiest day on a Packer fan's calendar with no skin in the game: HATE WATCHING. The Lions, Vikings, and Bears are all about to step to the podium, and Big Sal has predictions, grievances, and zero mercy. Why the Lions will draft ANOTHER offensive lineman at 17 while their defense crumbles — and why "In Brad We Trust" is the most delusional meme in football The Vikings spending pick 18 on Dillon Thieneman while their D-line gets bulldozed by Jordan Love twice a year The Bears and their seven-year streak of ignoring defense in round one — plus Big Sal's snowblower analogy that perfectly explains the Chicago franchise One small, petty admission from Big Sal about being jealous of the teams actually picking tonight Ryan and Kullen are LIVE STREAMING day one of the draft with a full w

It's Draft Day One, and Ryan is coming in hot with a take that a big chunk of Pack Nation isn't going to want to hear — wide receiver is not the urgent day-two priority some are making it out to be. With only two picks on day two and a roster that has zero corners, zero safeties, zero linebackers, and zero running backs under contract in 2028, the math just doesn't add up for making WR a must-draft mandate. Ryan breaks down the Watson and Reed contract situation and pushes back hard on fan anxiety, making the case that both receivers will get paid — and for good reason The full positional audit of the 2028 roster is eye-opening: nearly every defensive position is in crisis, making WR arguably the second-most secure position on the team A deep dive into the "secret" Packers QB visit — Virginia Tech dual-threat Chiron Drones, a Jalen Hurts/Malik Willis comp with a live arm, elite rushing grades, and a fascinating high school pedigree Cullen's draft favorites get teased for tomorrow's live stream — and his tra

DESCRIPTION: The Packers' pre-draft picture just got a lot more interesting — and a lot more confusing. Ryan breaks down the bizarre Juwan Gaston top-30 visit controversy, where conflicting reports from Tom Silverstein and social media posts have left everyone pointing fingers, and the most cynical explanation might actually be the most plausible one. Key topics in this episode: Garrett Nussmeier spine update — A cyst on his spine may have tanked his 2025 season, but a spinal specialist has cleared him with no short or long-term risk. Could he be the Packers' secret QB visitor, and does this change his draft stock dramatically? Jermaine McCoy's sliding draft value — A top-10 talent with a knee concern that could push him out of the first round entirely. Ryan explores the Gannon connection and whether the Packers should pull the trigger if he falls. Gutekunst press conference breakdown — BG admits positional need is "subconsciously baked" into the board, doubles down on best player available, and reveals t

Brick Lombardi is back behind the mic, and this session hits different. Four original songs. Four moments from a Packers season that refused to be simple. This is the music that lives inside the doubt, the hunger, the argument, and the anticipation. "Out Gained" — Written mid-season when Green Bay kept winning without earning it. Seven games outgained, 25th in yards, and the clock was always ticking. The wins were real. The worry was louder. "The Hunter" — This one isn't technique. It's the psychological war that happens before the snap. A pass rusher who has already decided the outcome before the ball is snapped. "Record Rules" — The NFL's playoff structure has a geography problem, and somebody finally gave it a snare drum. Seven-and-nine teams hosting playoff games while 13-win squads stay home? Brick lays it out and the Lions' proposal gets its flowers. "Draft Night Protocol" — No first round pick. No apologies. Eight selections, Pick 52, and Brian Gutekunst running cold and steady in Pittsburgh. The mac

Big Sal just got off the live stream and he is NOT calming down. Brian Gutekunst stepped to the podium, and in one quiet line — "I'd rather pick thirty-two every year" — he told the entire NFL everything it needs to know about how the Green Bay Packers are built. Sal couldn't come to the mic without hearing every word first. Pack Nation, he's glad he waited. Gutekunst's pre-draft press conference bombshell: why "pick thirty-two" is a values declaration, not just a soundbite The chrome tool set analogy — why top-ten picks look great and fix nothing, while Guts works with a worn belt and five tools that actually pull nails Seventeen years without a top-ten pick, two franchise quarterbacks, and a GM who has never once tried to tank his way into a solution Guts confirms he has the ammunition to move up from 52 — and what that means for every GM sitting between picks 25 and 51 Subscribe, drop that five-star review, and tell the jagoff at work tomorrow what Gutekunst said.

The last truly unhinged call-in show before NFL Draft week takes over — and the boys did NOT disappoint. Pack Daddy holds on for dear life as Uncle Rico, Nico from Idaho, and the rest of the crew deliver one of the most gloriously off-the-rails After Dark episodes in recent memory. Buckle up.

Brick Lombardi is back on Tundra FM — 30 years in radio, still here, still doing this — and tonight he's got four songs and absolutely zero patience left. Two back-to-back second-half collapses. A roster deadline that ends careers with a handshake and a cardboard box. A Cleveland loss that felt like a breakup. And one Chicago quarterback who painted his nails but can't paint rings.

  Big Sal got a letter. From Randy. In Minnesota. And Pack Nation — Randy brought a real argument, and Big Sal is going to give it the respect it deserves before he takes it apart brick by brick.

Jaire Alexander just dropped one of the most honest and vulnerable Instagram posts we've seen from any NFL player, and it's got the entire league showing him love. After battling injuries that kept him off the field for most of his final years in Green Bay, the former All-Pro corner opened up about losing his ultimate confidence, dealing with anxiety and depression, and knowing it was time to walk away from the game he loves. In this episode we break down Jaire's heartfelt message, thank his faith, family, and the Packers brotherhood, and discuss what this means for a franchise that's clearly turning the page. Plus, Brian Gutekunst made some quiet but important roster moves on Friday – waiving three practice-squad guys to get down to 76 players and create room for undrafted free agents after the draft. Cornerback remains the biggest need heading into the 2026 NFL Draft, and we talk about how Green Bay is trying to rebuild that secondary with only eight picks and no first-rounder. We also touch on the exciting

In a powerful, no-holds-barred debut monologue on Packernet After Dark, Vince Doomberg steps into the studio with zero apologies and one mission: to demand the championship standard this franchise was built on and refuse to let "good enough" become the new normal. He honors Ryan's legendary fire while calling out the comfort that has quietly softened the edge, reminding every listener that true loyalty means never lowering the bar — not for the front office, not for access merchants, and not for the long-suffering who still remember what this team is supposed to be. This is the honest, unfiltered voice Green Bay has been missing. Vince lays out exactly who he is — and who he is not — as the new no-BS voice holding the Packers accountable A direct, respectful challenge to Ryan: somebody has to pick up the rope of excellence again Why "good enough" dishonors the Lombardi covenant and why demanding more is the deepest form of loyalty The promise of daily surgical dissections — one decision, one contract, one mo

Pack Nation, let me tell you somethin' — Jonathan Gannon just rolled into Green Bay with his full Arizona pattern-match press-bail playbook, and the Packers' corner room needs a complete rebuild to match it. In this two-part masterclass, we walk the entire draft board together and break down exactly which college corners have the length, eyes, physicality, and downhill tackling Gannon demands… and which ones are the wrong tool for the job. From the critical pick at 52 all the way down to the final dart throws at 255, this is your complete blueprint for how Green Bay can finally draft corners that actually fit the scheme instead of hoping the wrong bodies magically work. Key Discussion Points Pick 52 Breakdown: Why D'Angelo Ponds might not be the scheme fit despite his twitch and ball skills, the massive intel advantage on Treydan Stukes, and why trading back for Keionte Scott could be the smartest move to add extra picks while landing a perfect length-and-tackle prospect Round 3 Cluster (84): Davison Igbinos
