Locked On Packers - Daily Podcast On The Green Bay Packers

Luke Musgrave probably won't play for the Packers in 2027, and technically, Green Bay does not have a single tight end under contract (Tucker Kraft will get one). On today's Gutey's Guys, we break down Notre Dame tight end Eli Raridon, who can provide that vertical element the Packers wanted to get from Musgrave, and it would only cost a Day 3 pick.

It's a Friday News Dump, answering your questions on positions the Packers HAVE to address, potential trade-down scenarios, how the Dolphins poaching a front office star affects the draft, and more. We're LIVE on YouTube breaking it down for you.

Are the Green Bay Packers pre-draft visits telegraphing how they want the 2026 NFL draft to play out? We dig into why that could be the case. Plus, why the Day 3 DTs are a better value for the Packers, and what about a trade down from 52?

With the 2026 NFL Draft just one week away, Brandon Sneide, Jason Hirschhorn, and Jacob Westendorf run the final mock draft for the Green Bay Packers and break down the best fits.

Based on the talent and pedigree, Devin Moore could be a starting CB in the NFL. But his long injury history may be too much risk for the Packers. On today's Gutey's Guys, we break from the former Florida standout and analyze his fit with the Pack.

There are some troubling stats about Matthew Golden's rookie season, but there's no reason to worry (except that Matt LaFleur might use him the wrong way again). Plus, the Packers NEED a tight end, plus has the calculation on a Dexter Lawrence trade changed?

Texas A&M CB Will Lee recently posted about a visit with the Green Bay Packers, and he plays a position of need for Jonathan Gannon's defense. We break down his skillset, why he reminds us of Carrington Valentine, and how he fits in with the build of this team.

The Green Bay Packers need a cornerback, but without a first-round pick, history says taking one in the second is a losing proposition. We explain why, plus break down the "type" of DTs Jonathan Gannon likes and wonder if taking a backup iOL is the best use of top-100 picks.

The Packers made a surprising move, trading Dontayvion Wicks—so what does it mean? Brandon Sneide, Peter Bukowski, Jacob Westendorf & Jason Hirshhorn break down the reaction, who benefits most, and how it impacts Green Bay’s roster.

The Green Bay Packers signed Javon Hargrave, but even if they find a good defensive tackle in the draft, they need more, or they admit to not caring much about the run defense. Plus, the 30 visits suggest another early WR pick could be coming. And why a dime LB can still make sense in the top 100.

He's big, uns 4.3, and blocks his butt off. De'Zhaun Stribbling has "Packers Type" written all over him. On today's Gutey's Guys, we break down his game and analyze his fit with the Packers as a mid-round pick who slots ideally in Matt LaFleur's offense.

The Green Bay Packers traded Dontayvion Wicks, knowing what it would do to the 2026 team, so how does that affect the way they look at drafting a receiver in this year's class? How do the needs shake out for the team now? Plus a Mock Draft Monday!

Penn State RB Nick Singleton has his flaws, but he's an explosive, downhill runner with return and passing game versatility. He's the kind of player the Green Bay Packers need to add to their ground attack. On today's Gutey's Guys we break down his game and his fit with the Packers, as well as his value on Day 3 of the draft.

The Packers traded Dontayvion Wicks to the Philadelphia Eagles. Why? And what's next at receiver in Green Bay? Brandon Sneide joins us for a Sunday OT, breaking down every angle of the Friday news dump trade.

Without a first-round pick, the Packers have a choice in a weird draft: move up to take the ONE player they believe can put them over the hump, or trade back and try to accumulate picks where the draft is the most ample. Plus, the latest big boards show why the 2026 NFL draft could bring a cascade of "reaches" and seemingly odd picks.

What is the biggest concern for the Green Bay Packers heading into 2026—and can it actually be fixed?

There aren't many perfect fits for the Packers in a weak defensive tackle class, but hulking Iowa State nose tackle Domonique Orange has the goods. He's a work-in-progress, but the upside is massive. On today's Gutey's Guys we break down his skillset and identify how he fits with the Green Bay defense in 2026 and beyond.

The Green Bay Packers will be in the market for a DT in the 2026 NFL draft, but based on their history in this class, they may only have one or two options. We break them down, plus wonder how that scarcity impacts the search for a cornerback in this class as well.

Mike Washington is the same type of big, linear, powerful running back the Packers wanted with A.J. Dillon, only this time he was the speed to hit home runs. The Arkansas breakout star could appeal to Brian Gutekunst for the same reasons they loved Dillon. We break down what he is (and what he isn't), plus how he fits for the Packers in another installment of Gutey's Guys.

Last year, Brian Gutekunst let us know exactly where and at whom he was looking in the NFL draft. Without a first-round pick, and with these random pre-draft visits, we have no idea this year. Plus, have the sins of the 2022 draft been fully rectified on this roster?

How do the Packers stack up in the NFC, and how close are they to a Super Bowl run?

Ted Thompson used to hit on a small-school gem seemingly once a draft class, but Brian Gutekunst has focused mostly on blue-blood programs. SE Louisiana defensive tackle Kaleb Proctor has the talent to change that for the Packers. We break down his game and his fit in Green Bay for another episode of Gutey's Guys.

Dexter Lawrence reportedly wants to be traded by the New York Giants, but ALSO wants a market-setting deal and would reportedly cost a top 60 pick. For these reasons, the Packers should be out. Plus, what the NFL is saying about this cornerback class and Green Bay's love of short king DTs.

Malik Muhammad can be a terrific fit for the Green Bay Packers defense if he's big enough for Brian Gutekunst. We break down the Texas cornerback on another edition of Gutey's Guys, looking at his skills, his fit in Jonathan Gannon's defense, and more.

Matt LaFleur has lost some standing with the fanbase, but he's an established culture setter. He did it with an Aaron Rodgers-led veteran team and a Jordan Love-led young one. His next challenge is to reset HIS OWN culture. Plus, what's the latest consensus around players where the Packers pick? And a Mock Draft Monday!

The Packers have questions to answer before becoming the Super Bowl contender they want to be. Some of them won't be answered until the season or even the playoffs start, but others will happen in the draft. Brandon Sneide joins us for an Easter Sunday OT.

Daylen Everette is an elite athlete with a ton of experience playing at Georgia. Oh yeah, he's a Gutey's Guy for SURE. We break down the things he does well and does not so well (he's a tough eval). Plus, we analyze his fit with the Green Bay Packers in another in our Gutey's Guys series.

If Micah Parsons misses the first month of the season recovering from an ACL tear, how does the Packers pass rush survive? Plus, what is Bobby Babich's role in trying to elevate these cornerbacks? And what does tearing the offense down actually look like? We take your questions LIVE on a Friday News Dump.

The biggest difference between the Packers and the Rams (who are Super Bowl favorites), is at quarterback. It's not that Matthew Stafford is SO much better than Jordan Love. He's not, but he's done it when it mattered most. Plus, can the Packers afford to keep all their key pass catchers? And what do they do now at backup QB with Kirk Cousins headed to Las Vegas?

The Green Bay Packers have talent, but something still feels off as they try to take the next step toward contention.

Matt LaFleur says he has to get players to understand their roles, and it's up to them to buy in. He's absolutely right, and the team trimming some starters could make all of that much easier. Plus, why Dontayvion Wicks could be on the move, and does Kirk Cousins make sense in Green Bay?

There's only one player in the 2026 NFL draft who could come in and anchor the Packers defense from Day 1: Ohio State DT Kayden McDonald. We break down the player and analyze his fit in Jonathan Gannon's defense in today's Gutey's Guys series.

Malik Willis provided so much value for the Packers behind Jordan Love that it's impossible to ignore. Can they find a replacement on Day 3 of a class loaded with Day 3 QBs? Jason Hirschhorn from The Leap joins us to talk about the Packers' "types" at QBs and this class full of potential options.

What did Matt LaFleur and Brian Gutekunst reveal about the Packers’ culture, roles, and accountability at the NFL Owners Meetings?

The Green Bay Packers have future questions at receiver, but Bryce Lance could be part of the answer. He's big, fast, and very similar to the current Packer Christian Watson. Could he bring the same things to this offense? We dig in for another episode of our draft series, Gutey's Guys.

Javon Bullard had a lot to say to Tyler Dunne from Long Long about the collapse against the Chicago Bears. He hates Chicago, the Bears wanted to quit, and the Packers let them off the hook. Dunne joins the show today to talk about Bullard's pointed words, Matt LaFleur's role in leadership, and the future of Sean Rhyan.

Jilted Cowboy fans tried to say Micah Parsons was toxic; he wasn't a leader or a culture guy. He was in it for the money and the fame (and that's not most people for anything). But Parsons has been everything the Packers traded for and more as a player, a leader, and a culture-setter. Plus, Matt LaFleur has to stop limiting Jordan Love, and Mock Draft Monday!

There's a perception that the Packers are falling behind this offseason, and it's ridiculous. Brandon Sneide joins us for a Sunday OT to talk about why people are missing the point, and we give you some of our player crushes in the 2026 NFL draft.

If there's a receiver in this class who could reasonably be there at 52 and end up as the Packers' future WR1, it's Georgia State standout Ted Hurst. We break down his game, evaluate his fit with Green Bay, and more in the latest installment of Gutey's Guys.

Brian Gutekunst said the 2026 Packers are capable of winning the Super Bowl, so what does he need to do in order to make that happen? Plus crucial coverage changes, draft crushes and more as we answer your questions LIVE on YouTube.

The options in the draft for defensive tackles keep thinning out as top players either don't test or test poorly. Considering the Packers' history, that could eliminate them from consideration at 52 overall. What's going on? And could that encourage them to draft a receiver instead? An edge player?

If the Packers don't want to pay Christian Watson, or want to guard against losing a key facet of their offense, Tennessee WR Chris Brazzell II is the ideal plan in this draft. On another episode of Gutey's Guys, we break down the player's strengths and weaknesses, plus analyze his fit with the Packers.

Plenty of fans hate them, but the Green Bay Packers care about positional models and thresholds. They matter to the Packers, and it's smart to use them, which is proven by ... the Packers! When they miss, it's usually on a non-Packers "type." Plus, Brian Gutekunst has to care more about positional value, and the cornerback room isn't THAT bad.

Oklahoma DT Gracen Halton plays similarly to Devante Wyatt and Javon Hargrave, but that's the point! He's a perfect fit for Jonathan Gannon's defense and has shades of early Hargrave in Philly. On this episode of Gutey's Guys we break down the player and dissect his fit with Gannon (spoiler: it's perfect).

Packers fans are looking at a couple of key positions for Green Bay's first pick of the 2026 NFL draft, but Damian Parson from Locked on NFL draft says the PERFECT pick doesn't truly play one of them. We talk about that, the best cornerbacks, defensive tackles, and receiver targets for Green Bay.

Are the Packers putting too much on Jordan Love’s plate this season? And if so, is that a sign of trust—or a potential problem?

The Green Bay Packers face a critical crossroads as they hunt for cornerback depth in a "weird" 2026 NFL Draft class. With strict size, athleticism, and density requirements shaping GM strategy, Peter Bukowski breaks down why top prospects like Chris Johnson, Julian Neal, and Devin Moore are rare fits, and why so many on draft boards simply don’t make the cut in Green Bay. Will the Packers prioritize perfect physical profiles, or is it time to compromise and secure sorely needed secondary talent?

By consensus, picking Arkansas cornerback Julian Neal at 52 overall would be a reach, but it wouldn't be. Not for Green Bay. He's huge, athletic, and experienced. We break down his game, how he fits in Green Bay and more in another installment of Gutey's Guys.

One of the biggest criticisms of Packers GM Brian Gutekunst has been his inability to hit home runs at the top of the draft and find elite players. But he rarely ever completely whiffs, either. Plus, a surprise pick is coming at 52 overall, and we show you why in a Mock Draft Monday!

The Green Bay Packers came up short in 2025, which means they have questions heading into the 2026 season. What are they, specifically? And do they have potential answers? Brandon Sneide joins us for a Sunday OT to break it all down.

Georgia defensive tackle Christen Miller is a perfect potential Packer, but Brian Gutekunst probably won't draft him. In our newest episode of Gutey's Guys, we break down Miller's game, how he could help Green Bay, and why the Packers likely won't draft him.

It's a Friday News Dump answering YOUR questions about the Green Bay Packers, including what position would most impact the team? What will Jonathan Gannon's defense look like? Is running back a priority? And much more LIVE on YouTube.

So, the Packers lost some starters this offseason. They're also getting back a slew of star players who were hurt to end the season that somehow everyone seems to have forgotten. They're the most underrated team in the NFL right now. Plus, Green Bay spoiled its move back to the 3-4 defense, and why one potential defensive target in the draft likely won't be a Packer.

Are the Green Bay Packers better at drafting than people give them credit for?

Brandon Cisse could be a first-round pick because of his physical tools, but he's not ready to come in right away and produce. What does he do well, and why is he an ideal developmental cornerback on Day 2? We break it down on the latest installment of Gutey's Guys.

The Green Bay Packers have a receiver paradox: they have to add players now to be ready for 2027, but the roster now has no room for them. So, what is the move here? Plus, what the offseason tells us about how the Packers see themselves and why we're calling "BS" on the Dolphins saying they're not dealing De'Von Achane.

It's the first of our Gutey's Guys series, highlighting Packers types in the 2026 NFL Draft, and we start with San Diego State cornerback Chris Johnson. He has the perfect size, athletic profile, and skillset to be a Day 1 cornerback for Jonathan Gannon.

While the Packers chase a Super Bowl, there are a handful of teams with no intention of being good. Now is the perfect time for Brian Gutekunst to take advantage of that to add a key piece. Plus, why this cornerback draft shakes out perfectly for Green Bay's picks, and looking at the draft through the lens of 2027 needs.

The Green Bay Packers have made several moves as free agency gets underway, but the big question remains — did they actually get better?

This is a deep defensive tackle class, but the Packers will have to decide what type of player they want and when to invest in it. We dig into this 2026 tackle class on today's show. Plus, why Brian Gutekunst will stand pat at cornerback and potential free agent bargains along the edge.

Now that the dust is settling around free agency, where does the Packers roster stand, and how does it impact the way they'll approach the draft? We use a Mock Draft Monday to break it down! Plus, the comp pick formula doesn't go the Packers' way, and could Anthony Richardson be QB2?

The Packers desperately want to win a Super Bowl, but in adding multiple players over 30, something Green Bay rarely does, have they gotten just plain desperate? Brandon Sneide from the Locked on Packers Squad Show joins us to talk about that and his perfect last free agent addition.

It's a Friday News Dump, taking your questions on the biggest issues facing the Packers. Remember, Everydayer Club members get first crack so join the club! We talk cornerback room, culture, next steps, offensive weapons, and a lot more LIVE at Noon CT every Friday.

The 2026 Green Bay Packers will have lost meaningful talent to free agency and trades this season, but that doesnt' meant they can't be better than the 2025 team. Plus, why continuity can carry an inexperienced offensive line. And Brian Gutekunst is using free agency for what it's for: fixing mistakes.

Free agency is officially underway across the NFL — and the big question for the Green Bay Packers is simple: are they better positioned for a Super Bowl run in 2026, or did they take a step back?

Javon Hargrave played the best season of his career for Jonathan Gannon back in 2022. The Green Bay Packers are bringing them back together, but what does he offer Green Bay? Luke Braun from Locked on Vikings joins the show to help us break that down. We also try to figure out what comes next.

The Packers haven't made any splash moves in free agency, but the two additions they've made, along with some re-signings, signal a renewed commitment to special teams. Plus, inside the cornerback swap the Packers made, the kick returner they added, and are we SURE the Rashan Gary deal is going to happen?

As NFL free agency gets underway, the Green Bay Packers have already made several key roster moves.

The Green Bay Packers traded Rashan Gary to the Cowboys and cut Elgton Jenkins, but don't worry that Brian Gutekunst has done nothing. Something more is coming. We dig into the big departures for the Packers, as well as free agents signing elsewhere, and who could still be available.

Adding Zaire Franklin and re-signing Sean Rhyan doesn't catapult the Green Bay Packers into a new stratosphere of contenders, but it does make it easier for Brian Gutekunst to simply pick the best players in the draft. Plus, what's going on with Rashan Gary? And teams are calling about Green Bay's receivers.

The Packers did something they almost never do: trade for an older veteran, Colts linebacker Zaire Franklin. Zach Hicks from Locked on Colts joins us to talk about what Franklin is and isn't, what he brings to the Packers, and why his time ran out in Indy on a Sunday OT.

The NFC North has already made some moves (mostly subtractions), but the Rams have added and the Eagles are reportedly big-game hunting, so what do the Packers need to do to keep pace? Plus, what's the situation at kicker and could a trade for a tight end make sense in Green Bay? We answer your questions on a Friday News Dump.

The Green Bay Packers announced that former president Bob Harlan passed away on Thursday. We look back on one of the most consequential presidencies in the NFL and one that just may have had an impact across American sports. Plus, Green Bay is looking at the linebacker market and the perfect Elgton Jenkins trade.

Is Matt LaFleur one of the most under-appreciated coaches in the NFL? Brandon Sneide and Coach Jags break down the way LaFleur should be viewed by fans.

There's about to be a lot of talk about contract and positional value, but there's no concern about that with Micah Parsons, who is worth more than most quarterbacks in the NFL. Plus, Chris Brooks re-signs in Green Bay, and Brian Gutekunst is obsessed with speed.

It's Super Bowl or bust for the Green Bay Packers, which means Brian Gutekunst's strategy can't be hoping and praying the right players fall to them in the draft, especially without a first-round pick. Plus, did the ideal linebacker free agent just hit the market? And more on why Rich Bisaccia left Green Bay.

The Green Bay Packers hired Cam Achord as their new special teams coordinator — what are the expectations, and can this fix the issues that hurt them last season?

Elgton Jenkins has been a presumed cap casualty since (at least) last year. It's presumably why he held out. But now that it's here, the Packers should be trying to trade him. Plus, who would the first-round draft crush be in Green Bay if they had a pick? Plus a Mock Draft Monday ... on Tuesday!

It's no secret; Brian Gutekunst and the Green Bay Packers have a type. So who nailed it and who left teams wanting in Indianapolis for the NFL combine? We dig into those answers, plus take a closer look at new special teams coordinator Cam Achord, and react to Emanuel Wilson's impending departure from the team.

The Green Bay Packers are replacing Rich Bisaccia with former Patriots special teams coach Cam Achord, but when it comes to winning the Super Bowl, how much does it really matter? Brandon Sneide from Locked on Packers Squad Show joins us for a Sunday Overtime to play a game of "Do you care?" about offseason stories.

It's an NFL combine Friday News Dump as we talk through some key positions, the NFLPA player survey, and why the Packers are struggling to keep players healthy. Taking your questions on fixing cornerback, DTs, and more.

The defensive front seven players took the field in Indy to put on a show during the first day of athletic testing at the 2026 NFL combine. The linebackers and defensive tackles, two positions of need for the Green Bay Packers, showed out, giving Brian Gutekunst a deep group of Day 2 and Day 3 players to pick from. Plus, it's one of the deepest tight end groups ever at the combine despite the lack of high-end talent, but the free-agent center market just got even better.

The NFLPA report cards are out, and the Green Bay Packers ranked 21st in the league. Brandon Sneide and Coach Jags break down what that says about the organization and whether it’s a real concern or just noise.

Josh Jacobs is a core member of the Packers offense for 2026. Will that still be true in 2027? And he's not in Brian Gutekunst's long-term plans, don't be shocked by an EARLY running back in this draft class. Plus, why free agency could solve the linebacker issues and more.

Last year, Brian Gutekunst said the Packers had to increase the sense of urgency around winning titles. He doubled down this year, saying he believes the Packers are good enough to win it. That statement of intent is important. Plus, he talks about getting bigger along the offensive line and why Green Bay would be comfortably starting a rookie center this season.

The Green Bay Packers offseason is officially underway, and Brandon Sneide, Coach Jags, and Peter Bukowski discuss the biggest questions facing Green Bay.

Brian Gutekunst's preferences in players aren't going to change with a new coaching staff, but Jonathan Gannon and Bobby Babich could make things get ... weird. Plus, why the Packers need to add another tight end, and don't expect a reunion with former Green Bay stars in free agency.

Sam Darnold just won a Super Bowl. Jalen Hurts won it a year ago. And everyone wants to talk about Caleb Williams, but Jordan Love is the best young QB in the NFC, the prototype of the kind of player to build around for the next five years. Plus, how the Green Bay Packers' Super Bowl window affects their build, and a Mock Draft Monday!

A big splash along the offensive line? A veteran defensive tackle or linebacker? What does a perfect offseason look like for the Packers? Plus a closer look at just how crucial Christian Watson has been to the Green Bay offense on a Sunday OT.

It's another Friday LIVE show on Locked on Packers, answering your biggest questions around the team. Does Jordan Love have another level to go up? Could Josh Jacobs be out? And how is being the youngest team in the league affecting this team?

Brian Gutekunst has a reputation for being obsessed with athletic measurables and drafting size/speed darlings. But at defensive tackle, going back to Ted Thompson, that has NOT been the case. We look at who fits the bill in this class, plus the reported candidates for the vacant special teams opening, and why Bears fans can never say a word about stock sales again.

The Green Bay Packers are searching for a new special teams coordinator following Rich Bisaccia’s departure—but will a new coach actually fix the problem?

Brian Gutekunst said he does not expect "wholesale changes" to the cornerback room, but his actions will let us know if he's telling the truth (and wholesale changes may be coming in a year anyway). How did the Packers CB fare in 2025? Who are the free agent options who make sense this spring? And to whom could Green Bay turn in the draft? It's a cornerback bonanza!

Rich Bisaccia has stepped down as special teams coach, and make no mistake, it WAS his fault the Packers' special teams were so bad. The problem is that the timing has thinned the talent pool considerably. We do find a couple of names to throw out as we put together the ideal profile of the Bisaccia replacement.

Are the Green Bay Packers doing everything they need to compete for a Super Bowl — or are they falling short?

Don't rewrite history: The Packers went all-in, and keeping Matt LaFleur only underscores that point. Plus, why the offensive line is suddenly in a very precarious situation, and I'm opting out of offseason lists.

It's not that the Packers don't WANT to blow teams out. They're trying. But the run game wasn't consistent in 2025, and Matt LaFleur didn't have enough answers. He has to find them. Plus, where will the playmakers come from in the secondary? And another Mock Draft Monday!

The Packers' defense collapsed down the stretch of the season and in the biggest game of the year. So, what happened? And how can they avoid it in the future? Our first Sunday OT with Brandon Sneide digs into the reasons why Jordan Love is still so underrated.

We have our first Friday News Dump LIVE taking your questions about the Green Bay Packers, including the path for a true CB1, the injury worries about Tucker Kraft and Micah Parsons and much more!
