Summary
The 2026 NFL Draft is in the books, and Pack Daddy is breaking down every single Green Bay Packers selection in this post-draft rapid reaction episode. From a fourth-round steal at edge rusher to a sixth-round kicker that silences every critic who's been complaining about the position for two years — this draft delivered, and Ryan isn't holding back his excitement.
- Deny Dennis Sutton (Edge, Penn State) — A 996 RAS freak with four years of consistent PFF grades and elite pass rush production. Could he push for a starting role opposite Lucas Van Ness from day one?
- Jagger Burton (IOL, Kentucky) — The versatile interior lineman Ryan had been calling for, playing center, left guard, and right guard throughout his college career. His 2025 grade of 71 overall with zero sacks and zero hits allowed tells the story of steady, reliable improvement.
- Domani Jackson (CB, Alabama) — A former five-star recruit with elite straight-line speed and a 74 coverage grade in his final season. The benching questions get addressed head-on.
- Trey Smack (K, Florida) — 89/89/88 PFF grades over three seasons, 10-of-13 on 50-plus yarders, and a 65-yard bomb on display. The kicker debate is over. Ryan was patient. Pack Nation, it's time to be happy.

| 0:22.6 | Find me on Twitter pack underscore datam. Well, the draft is actually still going here. I cut the stream short because the |
| 0:32.1 | Packers did me a solid. They did us all a solid, to be honest. Trading away the last two seventh |
| 0:36.4 | round picks, moving up into the sixth, |
| 0:38.6 | taking a kicker, which we'll get to. |
| 0:43.2 | Get to all my thoughts on all that stuff. |
| 0:45.5 | Let me just say, though, so today is going to be a very brief skim. |
| 0:49.8 | Obviously, I want to touch on all the guys that we drafted, |
| 0:53.0 | and I have to be conscious of the time if we're going to get to everybody. |
| 0:56.8 | We will go back and go through all these things more in depth. |
| 1:00.5 | And tomorrow we're probably going to have to talk a lot about some undrafted free agents. |
| 1:04.5 | That may even, depending on how long this takes, that may even begin starting today. |
| 1:10.2 | I'll probably set out some... |
| 1:12.4 | I was trying to do some breaking new stuff |
| 1:13.9 | as I was doing a live stream. |
| 1:15.2 | I was going to try to be sneaky and clever about it, |
| 1:16.9 | but I realized I was kind of being... |
| 1:20.6 | It was too hard to do that where I wasn't really paying attention |
| 1:24.4 | or I didn't want to do that. |
