Summary
With the 2026 NFL Draft just 10 days away, Ryan and caller Nico dig deep into the running back pool — breaking down Day 2 through Day 7 prospects, separating the highlight tape frauds from the real deal, and figuring out which backs could actually stick on an NFL roster.
🏃 Judarian Price & the Second-Round RB Question — Is it a mistake to spend your first pick on a back? Ryan and Nico debate positional value vs. just finding the best player. Consensus board has Price at 45 — he might not last.
📊 Jones Coleman (Washington) — The Favorite — 3.91 GPA, team captain, first in his family of nine to attend college, AND a freak on the field. PFF grades in the 80s and 90s across four college seasons, 67 missed tackles forced, zero fumbles over three years. Ryan's early top pick of the group.
⚡ Mike Washington vs. Emmett Johnson — Pure speed freak vs. well-rounded receiver. Washington's a big, fast straight-line burner with technique concerns in pass protection. Johnson won't wow you on tape but grades out well as a receiver.
🎯 The Packernetwork Draft Guide — All this scouting data lives in the Packernet Draft Guide. Cullen wants to go to Florida — get him to 1,000 subscribers and Ryan books the trip. Link is in the description.

| 0:00.0 | Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the draft room. |
| 0:19.8 | This is the NFL draft podcast of the Packernet Podcast Network. |
| 0:24.5 | If it is that you so desire to call in and talk about the NFL draft, which is now less than two weeks away, I'm sitting at, I think, 10 days, please feel free to do so. |
| 0:43.2 | The phone number to call in is 608, 561, 3243. |
| 0:52.5 | We do actually have a caller, so we will set aside what we have planned and see what looks like Nico has to say. |
| 0:55.0 | Hi, this is Nico. Hi, and it's Nico. |
| 0:58.8 | I'm talking about my draft scouting I did. |
| 0:59.4 | Yes. |
| 1:03.7 | And, you know, it's so tough because a lot of times you're watching these highlights, |
| 1:07.6 | you know, and they're not maybe playing the best team. |
| 1:08.8 | So there's a wide open hole. |
| 1:09.6 | They look great. |
| 1:14.4 | And I just know that in the NFL, they're not going to probably have those just fresh looks. |
| 1:16.0 | They might get one or two a game. |
| 1:19.2 | But anyways, we'll start. |
| 1:23.1 | So I just asked my Chad GPT, or I think I did Gemini, this one. |
| 1:46.5 | Give me the prospect between like second and seventh round. Started with James Price, I think his name is, Price. Prince, I can't read my writing. Price, yep. He looks really good. I know his teammate was even better. I remember watching his highlights like a month ago, and I was like, well, I want that guy, but I don't think he'll be around by the time we get there. No. To be honest, I don't think this one will be either. |
| 1:50.9 | He seems to really honestly be the overall second best one. |
| 1:54.2 | It's amazing than running that team has. |
| 1:58.1 | Good vision to change his direction. |
| 1:59.7 | You know, he had a home run finish. |
| 2:34.7 | He was kind of above average. I just put down he probably won't be there. He kept the ball. He just kick off. You know, I don't think he'll be there when we're, you know, picking in the 50s. Right. But I take him, I mean, if we took him at our first pick, I'm not going to get mad at any pick, because if the dude comes in and he's a stud, we're going to all like the pick. Yep. And, you know, we go instantly to the dude we got from UCLA that's been out for 36 games. You know, when I heard that, I forget his name. I loved him in the draft. |
