Packers Confirm Faith In Aaron Rodgers
Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur denied that the team selecting quarterback Jordan Love in the first round meant that quarterback Aaron Rodgers' time with the team was nearing an end. "Aaron is a pro, and he's the leader of our football team, and I anticipate that for a really long time," LaFleur said. […]
They Took Who??? Confusing NFL Draft Picks
Every year, the NFL holds a draft, and every year during that draft, 32 NFL teams make decisions that will positively impact the team going forward. But every year, some teams also make decisions that are...confusing. Confounding. Puzzling. Whatever adjective you want to use, teams make decisions that leave us, the outsiders watching the draft, […]
Which Rookie Quarterbacks Can Turn Their Franchises Around?
On April 23, 2020, the Cincinnati Bengals made Joe Burrow the first overall pick in the 2020 NFL draft and the new franchise quarterback in the Queen City. Burrow has been touted as a slam dunk pick and will surely unseat Andy Dalton as the starter, but through the first two days of the draft, […]
Packers Add To Secondary With Vernon Scott
The Green Bay Packers used the their last pick of the 2020 NFL Draft on TCU safety Vernon Scott in the seventh round. Scott has the size/speed combination that is enticing in the last round of the draft, but his skills are raw. He's a developmental pick for the Packers who will add depth for […]
Packers Draft Jonathan Garvin
With the 242nd pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the Green Bay Packers took Miami defensive end Jonathan Garvin. Garvin had five sacks and nine tackles for loss last year for Miami, and while he has made some impressive plays at the college level, his lack of ideal strength and concerns about his effort dropped […]
Packers Bulk Up Their Offensive Line
The Green Bay Packers have selected Indiana offensive tackle/guard Simon Stepaniak with the No. 209 selection in the NFL Draft. Green Bay wants to address their offensive line, but Stepaniak is a bit of a project. He has power and size but appears quite slow at times. He still needs to improve his game before […]
Packers Draft Center Jake Hanson
The Green Bay Packers have used the 208th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft on Oregon center Jake Hanson. Green Bay is set at center in the short term with Corey Linsley, but Linsley is in the final year of a three-year contract extension, so it’s not out of the question that a good showing […]
Packers Grab Depth at Offensive Line With Jon Runyan
The Green Bay Packers have selected Michigan offensive guard/tackle Jon Runyan with the No. 192 selection during the 2020 NFL Draft. Runyan did very well during the NFL Combine, which likely raised his draft stock. He isn't very athletic but has plenty of experience. Runyan won't start in Green Bay this season, but he gives […]
Packers Add Linebacker Depth with Kamal Martin
The Green Bay Packers have selected Minnesota linebacker Kamal Martin with the No. 175 pick during the fifth round. At first glance, Martin looks like a professional linebacker, but he lacks athletic ability. He finished with 66 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss and one sack during the 2019 season. Martin is not projected to start […]
Packers Shifting To More Run-Heavy Approach?
The Green Bay Packers are reportedly moving to more of a run-oriented attack in 2020, according to an agent. The agent didn't expect the Packers to do much on the free-agent wide receiver market because of this, and if Green Bay's 2020 draft is any indication so far, that might be true. The Packers surprisingly […]
Instant Reaction: NFL Draft Rounds 2-3 Winners/Losers
Rounds 2 and 3 of the 2020 NFL Draft picked up on Friday and saw plenty of talented names get selected. Teams continued to solidify their depth charts and many like the Bengals and Colts bolstered their offenses. Of course, there were a few surprises, notably Oklahoma QB Jalen Hurts getting selected by the Philadelphia […]
Instant Reaction: NFL Draft Round 1 Winners/Losers
The NFL's virtual draft started on Thursday, and while there were some differences -- the virtual boos, the huge number of Zoom screens we saw, the mouths not matching up exactly with all of the words -- it was mostly just a normal NFL draft, with teams making picks and trades and analysts breaking things […]
Three's a Crowd: How Does CeeDee Lamb Fit in Dallas?
I live in the Dallas area, which means I've spent the past few months listening to our local radio stations talk about the NFL Draft. I'm not a Cowboys fan, but all this listening gave me a pretty good idea of how Dallas would attack Thursday's first round, which the team expected to come away […]
Is Clyde Edwards-Helaire the Next Brian Westbrook?
Hyperbole and the NFL Draft go hand in hand. Every GM, coach, and teammate of an incoming first-round pick is going to proclaim how much they love their new guy, how they had him pegged for their team all along, and inevitably throw out some comps for emphasis. Hours after the first round of the […]
Jordan Love's Future in Green Bay
Hours before the first round of the NFL Draft on Thursday, Aaron Rodgers told Pat McAfee on radio that the Packers have not taken a skill position player in 15 years. He said he would be happy with any skill player at this point. Well, he got his wish, sort of. Instead of taking a player […]

Packers Draft Tight End Josiah Deguara
The Green Bay Packers finally addressed their pass-catchers by drafting Cincinnati tight end Josiah Deguara in the third round at pick No. 94 overall. The Packers needed more skill players for quarterback Aaron Rodgers, and they addressed that need with a 6-foot-2 tight end. Deguara is a red-zone threat, as he had 12 total touchdowns over […]
A.J. Dillon Heading To Green Bay
The Green Bay Packers used pick No. 62 to select Boston College running back A.J. Dillon. Dillon is a bruising running back who stands 6'0" and weighs in at 247 pounds. He is a non-factor in the passing game, having caught just 21 passes in three seasons at Boston College but he is a tough, […]
Robert Tonyan Officially Re-Signs
Green Bay Packers tight end Robert Tonyan signed his exclusive-rights free-agent tender on Friday, according to a source. Tonyan will return to the team to compete for playing time in 2020. With Jimmy Graham now in Chicago, Tonyan might have a better chance to see action on game days, but he'll still likely be behind […]
Day Two NFL Mock Draft (Rounds 2-3)
Welcome to day two of the 2020 NFL Draft. The first round is in the books, but the draft is just heating up. The second and third rounds are opportunities for teams to add potential starters and fill needs. There are still high-upside prospects on the board, especially at running back, wide receiver, offensive tackle, […]
Packers Trade Up To Grab Jordan Love
The Green Bay Packers traded up with the Miami Dolphins and selected Utah State quarterback Jordan Love with the No. 26 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft on Thursday. Very interesting. Many pegged the Packers to possibly trade up to take a receiver late in the first round after Davante Adams was quarterback Aaron […]

2020 NFL Mock Draft 2.0
With the NFL Draft just one week away, smokescreen season is upon us. Most mock drafters agree on the top three picks, but the draft gets fascinating at pick No. 4. The Giants could trade the pick to a team looking for a quarterback or sit tight and take the best offensive lineman or defensive […]

Early 2020 Sleepers: Wide Receiver
The rookie class is great for receivers in 2020. At least this is what we have been told. Until we can see them in action, I will hold judgment. It was only a few years ago when the same was said for Corey Coleman, Laquon Treadwell and Josh Doctson. So, color me skeptical until it […]
