Summary
The draft is done, Pack Nation — and the Packernet After Dark crew is breaking it all down live with the callers. Ryan and the gang go pick by pick through Green Bay's 2026 class, from the defensive tackle trade-up to the Jagger Burton vs. Brian Parker debate at center, and yes — drafting a kicker named Smack in the late rounds. Omar, Kyle from Madison, Beer Cheese Benny, and Nico all check in with their reactions.
- The case for Jagger Burton over Brian Parker at center, and why the Packers' size preferences made the decision
- Why kicker Trace Smack is a massive upgrade over the Anders Carlson experiment — and the PFF grades to prove it
- Running back concerns: Why Green Bay isn't worried about the position and still believes in Marshawn Lloyd
- Ryan's passionate monologue on why every part of the football calendar matters — stop reducing your enjoyment to "it only counts if it's the Super Bowl"
Plus, a quick update on nfldraftgrades.com — the 2027 draft class is now live on the site with 800+ prospects and a full big board, no paywall required. Call in next time at 608-501-0718 and join Pack Nation for the ride into the offseason.
