Summary
It's Draft Day One, and Ryan is coming in hot with a take that a big chunk of Pack Nation isn't going to want to hear β wide receiver is not the urgent day-two priority some are making it out to be. With only two picks on day two and a roster that has zero corners, zero safeties, zero linebackers, and zero running backs under contract in 2028, the math just doesn't add up for making WR a must-draft mandate.
- Ryan breaks down the Watson and Reed contract situation and pushes back hard on fan anxiety, making the case that both receivers will get paid β and for good reason
- The full positional audit of the 2028 roster is eye-opening: nearly every defensive position is in crisis, making WR arguably the second-most secure position on the team
- A deep dive into the "secret" Packers QB visit β Virginia Tech dual-threat Chiron Drones, a Jalen Hurts/Malik Willis comp with a live arm, elite rushing grades, and a fascinating high school pedigree
- Cullen's draft favorites get teased for tomorrow's live stream β and his track record with Packers picks is better than Dad's
Tomorrow is when the Packers pick, so tune in for the live stream and get those calls ready for Packernet After Dark! Call in at 608-501-0718.

| 0:00.0 | ladies and gentlemen welcome once again to the packernet podcast i am your host and |
| 0:14.2 | resident panelists as always ryan slip check us out online packernet dot com find me on |
| 0:20.1 | on twitter pack underscore datam. |
| 0:23.4 | Well, folks, it is, what is today? Today is day one of the draft for you, isn't it, you lucky ducks. |
| 0:31.2 | Again, stay tuned for any draft stream announcements from me. Day one is up in the air, day two, we will do something. |
| 0:39.4 | That is for sure. And then day three will depend on how day two goes. If we have a good time, |
| 0:44.7 | then we'll rock it again. But in addition, we were going to do it today because it's day |
| 0:52.2 | one of the draft, but I think we'll save it for tomorrow because |
| 0:54.8 | the Packers don't pick until tomorrow. You'll want to tune in tomorrow because Cullen is going |
| 1:00.8 | to reveal his favorite players in this year's draft. For those that don't know, my son |
| 1:08.1 | has a much better track record than I do when it comes to |
| 1:11.7 | his players, being players that the Packers also like. Not only like the top guys, like Christian |
| 1:18.6 | Watson and Matthew Golden being his favorite players getting drafted, but also guys like |
| 1:22.6 | Bullard being among his top guys, Savion Williams, I think was his third favorite wide receiver. |
| 1:29.4 | So just there is a much stronger correlation. For me, it's the Bears, which is weird. |
| 1:34.1 | I tell you my favorite guys, and there was a high hit rate with the Bears. It's really |
| 1:37.8 | annoying. I think it just means Cullen's better at this than I am because backers are a better |
| 1:41.7 | team. But we're going to plan on that for tomorrow. |
| 1:46.7 | And as a final note again, please consider subscribing to our draft guide. |
| 1:51.2 | We'll be using it as we do the live stream. |
| 1:54.7 | So I'll be able to maybe show you a little bit more of, you know, what I've been talking about this whole time, |
| 2:03.3 | because it's harder to describe than it is to just kind of show people. |
