Tom Silverstein at the Journal-Sentinel had a recent article that the Packers have been shopping Alexander and were close to a deal at one point, but the combination of what they want for him and Alexander being unwilling to take any sort of paycut has prevented a deal from happening. After subtracting the pro-rated part of his cap number, Alexander would have a 17.5 million cap figure in 2025 and it's pretty unlikely anyone wants to take that on. He also said something along the lines of the league knows the Packers don't intend on keeping Alexander, which leads me to believe that Alexander is likely gone one way or another. For awhile I was thinking that Alexander now knows he will have to be on the field in 2025, because if he has another year where he only plays 33% of the snaps, then he will be cut and will be looking at a 1 year, 5 million prove-it type deal (his current contract would pay him 19.5 million in 2026...so a huge difference), and that might be enough for Gutekunst to keep him through 2025. But Silverstein also brought up the point that there is likely resentment between the Packers and Alexander with what has gone on this off-season. Silverstein also brought up the possibility of an Alexander/Jalen Ramsey swap but the salary numbers he had in the article do not match up with what overthecap has, and I don't think the Dolphins are in a position to take on Alexander's salary and the dead money hit from Ramsey if this swap were to happen. Last year I thought there was a decent chance they would take Morgan because there just weren't that many left tackles available later in the draft. I think Morgan was somewhere around #35-#40 and the Packers took him well above that, and the unavailability of left tackles probably played a role in that. Packers picks are #23, #54 and #87 in first three rounds. CB rankings on the most recent board I've assembled- 1 - Travis Hunter 9 - Will Johnson (will go lower IMO, not likely to make it to #23 though) 11 - Jahdae Barron 34 - Maxwell Hairston 37 - Trey Amos 40 - Shavon Revel Jr. 46 - Azareye'h Thomas 47 - Benjamin Morrison 72 - Darien Porter 92 - Jacob Parrish 118 - Quincy Riley 120 - Nohl Williams So that's my best estimate of where guys will go (recent news of Will Johnson not doing the 40 will push him down). Look what is there between the Packers second and third round picks (#54 and #87), just one player who warmed the bench for most of his long college career. I will say that Porter definitely fits the Gute profile, but I think he'd be a horrendous pick at #54. Then at #87, there are only 3 players in the next 33 "slots" and Parrish is really short (5-9 3/4) but does pass the athletic requirement...personally I like both Riley and Williams but both of those guys might not pass Gutekunst's athlete preference. Edge rusher, defensive tackle, wide receiver...all positions that should have quality (and quality that fits Gutekunst's preferences) in subsequent rounds. Cornerback...take one early or you might not get one until round four is a real possibility. I think chances are very strong that the Packers take a cornerback with their first pick with the way the board currently shapes up. Hairston and Revel are the two that fits Gutekunst's athletic preferences the best. My most recent prediction was Revel, only because he has the length that Hairston does not. I guess Azareye'h Thomas is still in that mix, but I'd consider him the long shot at this point, but still include him because he seems like a good fit for what Hafley wants to do on defense. Personally, I'm not thrilled with any of the late round one cornerbacks and would rather see them go to another position. I think WR-Emeka Egbuka has emerged as my personal favorite, we'll see if he makes it to #23 (currently #24 on the board, so it will be close). We'll see what happens with Nate Hobbs, I think Gutekunst may have errored big time by not going after a better and more experienced cornerback in free agency.

Not when posting in real time. I figured with the formatting it's easy enough for people who could care less to see what it is and just scroll to the next post and just keep going until they find something they are interested in.

NFL.com has a section up called DraftIQ https://www.nfl.com/draft/iq/ So go to the Packers and then in the middle of the screen there are a couple tabs > click on Front Office Tendencies. Scroll to the bottom and- [b]Since 2018, Gutekunst has drafted a league-high 42 players with NGS athleticism scores that are higher than their NGS production scores as the Packers GM.[/b] That's pretty overwhelming. Gutekunst has drafted 72 players, which putting it in the most simplistic terms, breaks down as drafting 57 "athletes" versus 15 "players."

Michigan cornerback Will Johnson had his workout and would not run the 40. Only numbers that I've seen is that he had a 37 inch vertical jump and a 4.33 short shuttle. That vertical is about average for a cornerback and the short shuttle number is below average for a cornerback. There have been reports that he looked "above average" in running positional drills. McShay has reported that Johnson would not run the 40 because he was running in the high 4.5's in training. He's going to fall. I don't think he makes it to #23, but I don't think he's a top 10 pick with this information. It might even be a stretch to think of him as sitting solidly in the top 16.

Above list has been updated. Rang at FOX Sports updated and expanded his list from 101 to 150.

2026 Super Bowl odds 1 - Eagles +650 2 - Ravens +700 3 - Chiefs +750 3 - Bills +750 5 - Lions +900 6 - Commanders +1600 7 - 49ers +1800 7 - Bengals +1800 9 - Packers +2200 9 - Rams +2200 Packers regular season wins over/under is 9.5. Ravens, Bills, Lions, Chiefs, Eagles, 49ers all above that. There are 8 teams at 6.5, which puts the Packers in the #7 to #14 range. Projecting them as the 9th/10th best team at this time seems like a pretty fair estimate. Above odds come from betus.com

Might as well bring up the Jalen Ramsey subject. Have to believe this has all come up because he wants a new deal, and this is coming off a new deal he got less than 1 year ago. He has already been traded twice and it looks like the third time is coming in the very near future. Seems like one of those guys who is always unhappy. That doesn't stop the teams he's with from winning, the Rams had a great run with him on board. The guy can still play. Media reports are that his play fell off last year, but the stat sheet still looks pretty good. Last time he was traded was for a 3rd round pick and TE-Hunter Long, who at the time was a 2 year backup and has added on another 2 years as a backup since the trade (37 games played, 8 catches). Obviously the Dolphins will start by asking for the moon. They have an extra fourth, an extra fifth, no sixth, and three 7th...so they already are starting with 10 picks. My guess is that the final price will be the same as last time, a 3rd round pick and a cheap player (this one will probably have more upside than the last one). Jaire Alexander is not a possibility IMO, as Alexander really doesn't fit into the Dolphins cap situation. No doubt Ramsey would likely push for a deal pretty similar to the one that Jaycee Horn got. Roughly speaking, 4 years, 100 million with cap numbers of 23 million, 22.7 million, 28.7 million, 30.7 million. I'm not for it because I've always had the impression of Ramsey being a butthead, but I think the Packers could do this and it would definitely qualify as a big splash move for Gutekunst that doesn't involve a 1st or 2nd round pick.

Minnesota may have made a big error by not securing a better backup quarterback. I can understand that there comes a time where you have to go with an unproven player as a starter, but you need to have a reasonable plan B in place. Brett Rypien is not a good backup plan. The numbers with Darnold heading into last season were not impressive (78.3 QB rating, 56 starts, 63 TD, 56 INT), but they were reasonable enough to figure as a realistic plan B. Brett Rypien = 59.9 QB rating, 4 starts, 4 TD, 9 INT.

I've updated my top prospects spreadsheet over the last 48 hours. I wanted to keep including Brugler rankings (The Athletic), but nobody is spilling the beans on his update and I refuse to do business with The Athletic after they censored McGinn a few years ago. So since Brugler's list was so old (pre-combine), his data got dropped altogether. I replaced his data with Scout INC/ESPN. It had also been awhile since Trapasso at CBS Sports put out a ranking, so I replaced his with the CBS Sports consensus list. So this top prospects list is made up from the following...in a list of 150 players, bottom guy gets 1 point and top guy gets 150 points.

DT-Walter Nolen/Mississippi and DE-Jordan Burch/Oregon are reportedly in Green Bay today on official visits.

Looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane.

Kenneth Grant is a monster on film and there is no question of how good an athlete he is for his size. But his size is getting to be a concern. There were reports that at the combine he was talking and saying he was in the process of dropping weight and was going to show up lighter at Michigan's Pro Day and run a 4.8 40. He showed up at 330 pounds and ran a 5.07 (which is pretty good for someone of that size). Apparently it turned off a lot of people. When he first got to Michigan, he was so over-weight that they were initially going to put him in a conditioning program instead of having him practice, but once he did some athletic tests they went ahead and put him on the practice field. So these guys that are out of shape like this...lots of them play like gangbusters early on, but end up fading pre-maturely and when it happens it happens really fast. There does appear to be some Gilbert Brown in Kenneth Grant. People forget about what a good athlete Brown was when he first became a Packer, largely because for most of his career in Green Bay we was over 360 and his athleticism went down the tubes pretty fast. I'm not dismissing Grant, I would still give him a look and consider him depending on where Green Bay ends up picking and who is available at the time. But this is the biggest negative with Grant. IMO he may be top 10 if you just look at the film and his athleticism....there is a reason why pretty much everyone is putting him in the late round one area. Walter Nolen reminds me a lot of Rashan Gary in that both guys have been round one projections since they were sophomores in high school. And despite all the accolades, I'm not sure if Nolen lived up to that reputation, and I don't know if Gary has been all he could be and we are now finished with year #6 of his pro career. I will say this about Nolen, he seems like an ideal fit as a 3-technique in Hafley's defense. IMO, he'd be a better pick for the Packers than Harmon for that reason. Harmon just has that look of a 3-4 DE to me.

Ohio State defensive tackle Tyleik Williams in for an official visit. I think he's much more quick and agile than he's given credit for. One of those guys that plays like his hair is on fire, but sometimes it just doesn't seem like he gets very much done. Built like a nose tackle, but lacks play-strength and is more of a 3-technique. Was interested to see what he would do during the Ohio State Pro Day, but he cramped up running the 40 and wiped-out and then didn't do anything else. No way he is worth #23, but worth a look if the Packers trade down to something like #32. Current defensive tackle ratings on the consensus board- 1. Mason Graham/Michigan (#3 overall) 2. Walter Nolan/Mississippi (#15 overall) 3. Kenneth Grant/Michigan (#27 overall) 4. Derrick Harmon/Oregon (#28 overall) 5. Tyleik Williams/Ohio State (early round two) 6. TJ Sanders/South Carolina (mid to late round two) - also had an official visit in Green Bay 7. Shermar Turner/Texas A&M (late round two) 8. Alfred Collins/Texas (late round two) 9. Darius Alexander/Toledo (early round three) 10. Joshua Farmer/Florida State (early to mid round three) 11. Omarr Norman-Lott/Tennessee (mid round three) 12. Deone Walker/Kentucky (mid round three) 13. Jordan Phillips/Maryland (late round three) 14. CJ West/Indiana (late round three) 15. Vernon Broughton/Texas (late round three/early round four) 16. JJ Pegues/Mississippi (early to mid round four) 17. Jamaree Caldwell/Oregon (mid round four) 18. Cam Jackson/Florida (late round four) 19. Ty Hamilton/Ohio State (late round four) 20. Ty Robinson/Nebraska (early round five) 21. Aeneas Peebles/Virginia Tech (early to mid round five) 22. Warren Brinson/Georgia (mid round five) 23. Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins/Georgia (mid round five) 24, Rylie Mills/Notre Dame (late round five/early round six)

I would not, largely because Watt turns 31 shortly into next year. I have no doubt he'll be good next year and the following year, but after that it gets sketchy and we'd be talking about massive cap numbers later in this type of deal. A 4 year, 160 million dollar deal, annual cap numbers would be something like 21 million in 2025, 26 million in 2026, 41 million in 2027, 56 million in 2028 and then they still would be responsible for a 16 million dollar cap number in 2029 due to the void year(s). The 2026 cap number likely forces Jenkins off the roster, but I have a feeling that's could happen anyway (by then I think Tom will have a big contract, Banks already has a big contract...I don't see the Packers keeping Jenkins with a 20+ million cap number to play center in 2026...there will be a renegotiation including a likely reduction in salary or he'll be released). But if Watt's play declines to "above average" in 2027...then we are talking about an "above average" player having a 41 million dollar cap figure in 2027 and the Packers would still be on the hook for 32 million that they would likely spread out over 2028 and 2029. Add in that we lose 2 first round picks and this is an easy no from me. If you are only talking about picks OR talking about money, that's a different story. But money and picks, I don't like the deal at all. I don't like this QB class at all and am perfectly content with Willis. Harmon could very well be the pick, but I think he would have been a much better fit in Joe Barry's defense as a 3-4 defensive end. In Hafley's defense, Harmon likely gets put in as a 3-technique with the Packers thinking he'd blossom into a legit pass-rusher...and I don't know if that's going to happen.
