Hot Take: This Might Be Gute's Second-Best Draft Class in Green Bay History

The 2026 NFL Draft is in the books, and Pack Daddy is breaking down every single Green Bay Packers selection in this post-draft rapid reaction episode. From a fourth-round steal at edge rusher to a sixth-round kicker that silences every critic who's been complaining about the position for two years — this draft delivered, and Ryan isn't holding back his excitement. Deny Dennis Sutton (Edge, Penn State) — A 996 RAS freak with four years of consistent PFF grades and elite pass rush production. Could he push for a starting role opposite Lucas Van Ness from day one? Jagger Burton (IOL, Kentucky) — The versatile interior lineman Ryan had been calling for, playing center, left guard, and right guard throughout his college career. His 2025 grade of 71 overall with zero sacks and zero hits allowed tells the story of steady, reliable improvement. Domani Jackson (CB, Alabama) — A former five-star recruit with elite straight-line speed and a 74 coverage grade in his final season. The benching questions get addressed head-on. Trey Smack (K, Florida) — 89/89/88 PFF grades over three seasons, 10-of-13 on 50-plus yarders, and a 65-yard bomb on display. The kicker debate is over. Ryan was patient. Pack Nation, it's time to be happy. Subscribe, leave a five-star review, and join the conversation at nfldraftgrades.com — the 2027 board is already being built!

Brick Lombardi's back, and the board is closed. Day Two is done — and Tundra FM isn't letting these picks slip into the void without a proper soundtrack. Six songs. Six players. Six reasons this franchise doesn't rebuild, it reloads. Cisse (Pick 52) — The youngest corner in the class. The board had him at 33. Gutey got him at 52. That's not a reach. That's a robbery in broad daylight. Welcome to the Tundra (Pick 77) — 313 pounds, 11-inch hands, and a spring break spent in the film room. McClellan didn't come to visit — he came to work. The 2025 Vault — Sorrell Season, Oliver, Brinson Mact-Krieg, and Pack Wall get their anthems. Four players. Four songs. Four more reasons to believe. Micah Robinson — One pre-draft visit. Just one. And it was us. He said it himself: love who loves you. No song yet, Micah. But we see you. Day Three starts now. Pack Nation, Lambo is being built one track at a time. Subscribe, rate, and tell somebody. The tundra doesn't stay empty long. This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

Pack Nation — no first-round pick. No door. Just Big Sal standing in the parking lot waiting. And then Gutekunst opened the gate and walked out with the best buck in the woods. The Packers grab cornerback Brandon Cisse at pick 52 — a 20-year-old with a 4.41 forty and a 41-inch vertical who held opponents to a 41% completion rate at South Carolina. Gutey compared him to Kenny Clark, and Big Sal is not arguing. Green Bay then trades UP from 84 to 77 to snag Missouri DT Chris McClellan — 6'3", 313 pounds, 11-inch hands, 6 sacks in the SEC. The man is built like a refrigerator that also runs a 5.05 forty. No first-round pick. Two legitimate contributors. The national media called Green Bay hamstrung — Sal calls it Wednesday. Hit subscribe, leave a five-star review, and tell somebody who doesn't even watch football — because when Big Sal is rolling, you don't need to know the game to feel it.

Pack Nation, Day Two of the 2026 NFL Draft is in the books, and the Packernet After Dark call-in crew has all the takes you need. Ryan breaks down Green Bay's two big swings — cornerback Brandon C'Say and nose tackle Chris McClellan — with live reaction from the community as the picks came in hot. Brandon C'Say at 52: The Packers ran to the podium and Pack Nation debates whether this 20-year-old boundary corner with elite traits and violent tackling ability can push past Keyshawn Nixon for the starting spot — and why Ryan was calling his name ten picks out Chris McClellan at 84: Beer Cheese Benny wasn't fully sold, but Ryan makes the case hard — if you wanted Dominique Orange (one sack in four years, zero pass rush) over McClellan, you need to revisit the tape Day Three Preview: The crew breaks down remaining targets including Mike Washington, tight end options, linebacker depth, and whether the Packers can afford to double up at corner — plus Ryan's sermon on why the consensus big board is pretendy land Subscribe, leave us a five-star review, and call in live at 608-501-0718 — new callers go straight to the front of the line.

Day two of the 2026 NFL Draft is in the books, and the Green Bay Packers did exactly what they needed to do — fill the two biggest holes on the roster without overthinking it. Ryan breaks down both picks in detail and makes the case that Pack Nation should be sitting somewhere between content and flat-out ecstatic. Brandon Cissé, CB, South Carolina — 20 years old, 41-inch vertical, 4.44 speed, elite run support from the perimeter, and a chip on his shoulder that traces back to being passed over in high school. Ryan walks through his PFF profile, his press-man skillset, the "neck down" scouting concern, and why his passion on draft night is rocket fuel for a culture Jonathan Gannon is building. Chris McClellan, DT, Missouri — No freakish RAS, no hype train — just a four-year arc of steady improvement, six sacks leading all SEC defensive tackles in 2025, Senior Bowl standout, and the kind of high-motor, scheme-versatile interior piece that quietly makes defenses better. Ryan compares him to Mike Pinnell and breaks down why this is the "just find a player" pick Packer fans have been begging for. Day Three Preview — Ryan teases what positions are now truly "best available" and why virtually any pick tomorrow works given the needs already addressed. Don't miss Day Three — starts at noon. Links dropping on YouTube, Facebook, and Patreon. Pack Nation, this defense is becoming something real. This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

The board is falling. Pack Daddy's phone is ringing. But first — the music.

Let me tell you somethin, Pack Nation — the NFC North just served up a nine-course meal of embarrassment and Big Sal is STILL hungry for dessert. 🍽️ Three picks. Three blunders. And Gutey didn't even have to lift a finger. 🔥 What's in this rant: 🦁 Detroit's Master Plan? Brad Holmes whiffed on Kadyn Proctor, settled for Blake Miller, and now wants All-Pro Penei Sewell to flip to LEFT tackle at 25. On Goff's blindside. In the NFC North. Good luck with that. 🟣 Minnesota's Mystery Move — Dillon Thieneman sitting right there on the board, and the Vikings grab Caleb Banks instead. A D-tackle with a broken foot who won't be cleared until JUNE. His pro day was him explaining why he couldn't have a pro day. 🐻 Chicago's Comedy Hour — Seven years of drafting offense, defense FINALLY gets a shot, and the Bears take... a strong safety. When Caleb Williams is running for his life. It's like buying a fourth snow shovel when the furnace is broken. Meanwhile, Gutey's sipping coffee, calm as a frozen lake, watching the chaos unfold. 👑 🎙️ Day Two is TONIGHT. Pick 52. Pick 84. Ryan and Cullen are live streaming the war room — big boards up, beer cold, real Packer fans reacting in real time. Get on the stream, smash subscribe, leave that five-star review, and let's watch Gutey cook. TONIGHT WE EAT!
