Summary
🏈 Packernet Podcast | 2026 NFL Draft Film Study: DT & WR Second Round Targets
Ryan digs deep into the film on the Packers' most realistic second-round defensive tackle and wide receiver options — and walks away with a clear favorite at each position, even if neither pick is a slam dunk.
📋 What's Covered:
- 🟢 Defensive Tackle Breakdown — Ryan runs every prospect through a three-question test built for Jonathan Gannon's scheme: Can you draw double teams? Can you hold up against them? And can you dominate in one-on-ones? Lee Hunter passes with flying colors, Caleb Banks and Dominique Orange earn respect, but Kristen Miller raises some real concerns about scheme fit.
- 🎯 The Value Over Replacement Dilemma — Is Lee Hunter worth the second-round capital when serviceable DTs exist in rounds four through six? Ryan makes the fantasy football analogy that reframes the whole conversation.
- 📡 Wide Receiver Scouting — Chris Brazil gets the Christian Watson clone treatment (that's a compliment), Ted Hurst emerges as a sleeper, and Malachi Fields checks every measurable box while leaving Ryan just slightly unconvinced.
- 🧠 The Big Picture Question — With pass rushers, linebackers, and corners all in the mix, Ryan wrestles with whether a nose tackle or a receiver is truly the best use of Pick 52.

| 0:00.0 | Ladies and gentlemen, welcome once again to the Packernet podcast. |
| 0:12.5 | I am your host and resident panelists, as always Ryan Schlipp. |
| 0:15.8 | Check us out online, packernet.com. |
| 0:18.4 | Find me on Twitter, pack underscore. |
| 0:21.2 | So there's a little bit of news and notes. find packernet.com. Find me on Twitter, pack underscore datam. |
| 0:27.6 | So there's a little bit of news and notes and whatnot, but again, the draft is rapidly approaching. And I want to kind of stick with, at least for another position or two, |
| 0:34.5 | what we did yesterday. |
| 0:43.6 | I want to try to get a grasp of the potential picks for the Packers in the second round. |
| 0:47.9 | We're not going to get through everybody, but at least hitting the major position groups. |
| 0:52.2 | And just trying to get my own personal feel on the different prospects yesterday. |
| 0:56.4 | If you didn't listen, go back and check it out. Yesterday, |
| 1:02.6 | took a look at edge rusher. The goal for me at this point right now is finding some my guys in addition to maybe just kind of given some overall general thoughts on the prospects. |
| 1:09.8 | I want to look at defensive tackle. Corner is definitely an important |
| 1:14.5 | thing, but it was the thing that tipped the scales. And eventually when we get the final of the 30 |
| 1:21.0 | visits to the Packers, we'll go over those remaining prospects. I think we're at 27, but the most |
| 1:27.2 | recent one was Lee Hunter, |
| 1:29.1 | another Texas tech guy. I've had a lot of thoughts on these guys based on, you know, again, |
| 1:35.4 | their build, their stats, their PFF grades or whatever, but I still want to be able to kind of |
| 1:39.8 | get my eyes on them and hopefully end up, you know, really liking a couple prospects and whatnot |
| 1:45.5 | so that you can get a little extra excited if they end up getting drafted. But that's, |
| 1:49.8 | that is the plan. We'll see how long that takes. Again, there's plenty of news and note stuff |
| 1:55.3 | to get to, but I don't want to spend a lot of time talking about stuff that could be more |
