Summary
Big Sal from Peshtigo is in the recliner, staring at his phone like it insulted his mother — because the Packers just shipped Dontayvion Wicks to Philadelphia for two Day 3 picks. Two. Day. Three. Picks. And Sal has feelings about it. Lots of them.
- The case for the trade: No first-rounder means every pick matters, and if Wicks wasn't going to be a featured piece of this offense, turning him into draft capital is defensible Gutey logic
- The case against: With Romeo Dobbs already gone, the receiver room behind Jaden Reed is now dangerously thin — and Sal isn't sugarcoating it
- What has to happen next: Matthew Golden has to take that Year 1 leap, and those Day 3 picks have to produce now, not in three years — Jordan Love deserves a full room come September
- Big Sal's final verdict: The philosophy is sound, but the execution has to show up in the draft room in two weeks — or we're all going to regret knowing what a good hunting rifle feels like

| 0:00.0 | Let me tell you something, Pac Nation, they just, they moved Dantavian Wicks to Philadelphia |
| 0:18.2 | for two day three picks. I am sitting in my recliner, staring at my phone like it said something bad about my mother. |
| 0:26.6 | Two day three picks. |
| 0:29.6 | That is what Dantavian wicks cost in April of 2026, a pair of late round picks that are going to get announced on a Saturday afternoon |
| 0:40.8 | while half the country is already at somebody's graduation party. |
| 0:44.9 | Are you hearing me right now? |
| 0:47.0 | And you want to know what hit me hardest? |
| 0:48.9 | It was not even the trade itself. |
| 0:51.0 | It was the reaction from inside that locker room. Players going, and I am paraphrasing |
| 0:56.2 | here, essentially, dang, just dang, because Wixler's a guy. He was a teammate, and teammates |
| 1:05.2 | do not expect teammates to get moved for late round raffle tickets. That reaction tells you something. |
| 1:12.1 | That tells you even the people inside that building did not see this coming, |
| 1:17.4 | which honestly makes two of us. |
| 1:20.1 | Okay, stay with me here, because there are two ways to look at this trade. |
| 1:24.6 | There is the optimist position, and there is the Sal position. And here is what |
| 1:29.5 | is genuinely thrown me off since I woke up this morning. I think those two positions might be |
| 1:36.0 | the same today. I know. I know that does not happen often with me. I am not built for optimism. |
| 1:43.0 | I am built for anxiety and cold cuts and recliner |
| 1:47.1 | base second guessing. That is my whole thing. Ask anyone in Peshtigo. So here is the deal on |
| 1:53.2 | Dantavium Wicks. Fifth round pick, 2023 draft class out of Virginia. And let me tell you, the kid came in and he flashed right away, burst off the line, |
| 2:06.7 | hands, that quality where you watch a preseason rep and you go, okay, okay, we got one here. |
| 2:13.9 | And then his rookie year, I am going off memory, so stay with me on these numbers. I want to say |
