Round-by-Round Tight End Targets for the Green Bay Packers

The Packers tight end room has a ticking clock on it — Tucker Craft is locked in as the top guy, but Luke Musgrave's injury history and contract situation make finding a developmental complement an urgent priority. Pack Daddy goes round by round through the 2026 NFL Draft class to identify who fits what Green Bay actually needs. Round 2–3 targets: Eli Stowers (Vanderbilt) brings elite receiving upside as a Musgrave upgrade, while Oscar Delp (Georgia) offers the size and 4.49 speed that could be a steal — if he can translate limited production into an NFL role Mid-round value: Eli Raritan (Notre Dame) earns the Round 4 nod with a 9.45 RAS, seam-stretching ability, and the versatility LaFleur's system demands; Daquan Wright (Ole Miss) brings fifth-round receiving production and elite blocking chops Late-round fliers: Matthew Hibner's 3.4% drop rate and fluid athleticism make him the sixth-round standout, while Miles Kitzelman and DJ Rogers round out the seventh-round boom-or-bust options with legit build profiles The core question: How early are the Packers actually willing to go? Pack Daddy makes the case that waiting too long just means wasting a pick on a guy who won't stick If you've watched any of these prospects, call in and let Pack Daddy know — 608-561-3243.

Big Sal is back — and this time, he's got mail. Randy in Minnesota heard last episode's dead cap rant and came with a counterargument. And Randy? He's not wrong. That's what makes this so frustrating. Big Sal breaks down Randy's defense of the Gutekunst dead cap situation — acknowledging every point while explaining why "you fixed it" and "you managed it well" are two completely different things The Gary signing, the Clark extension, and the Parsons trade get examined as a full package deal — not in isolation — and the total cost is staggering: two first-rounders, $34 million in dead cap, and no room to maneuver in a contention window Big Sal draws the line clearly: trading Gary was the only logical response to a bad contract. Sweeping up rock salt in the spring doesn't mean you should've left the bag open all winter A genuine acknowledgment that 2027 could look better — and a firm declaration that until it does, the volume stays high Randy gets his respect. Gutekunst does not — not yet.

The draft fit series rolls on — and this week it's wide receivers. Ryan breaks down what it actually means to play wideout in Matt LaFleur's Shanahan-style West Coast offense: the pre-snap motion, the horizontal stretch, the blocking demands, and why versatility beats raw alpha traits in this system. Then he gets into the film room and scouts round-by-round targets who fit the mold. What the current WR room tells us about LaFleur's receiver profile — Watson, Reed, Golden, Wix, and Savion Williams each fill a specific role, and knowing those roles reveals exactly what's missing The Romeo Doubs void: Green Bay needs a physical, press-beating chain mover who can win in traffic and play the "dirty role" — and Ryan paints a precise picture of that prospect type Round-by-round targets: Jeremy Bernard (Alabama), DeJohn Stribling (Ole Miss), Josh Cameron (Baylor), and Chase Roberts (BYU) all get scouted with PFF grades, RAS scores, and scheme-fit analysis The Bryce Lance and Ted Hurst hype — Ryan weighs in on both fan favorites and explains where they fit (and where they don't) If you enjoy the deep dives, drop a rating and review — it goes a long way.

Pack Nation, it's another wild night in the After Dark call-in universe — and this one's got everything. Garrett from Southern Illinois fires up the SAL expansion conversation with a full vision for AI callers, recurring characters, and even a Bears fan co-host to go toe-to-toe with Big Sal. Ryan's pumped but keeping it a slow burn for now. Then 1265 nearly gives Ryan a heart attack with an April Fools Joe Thomas drop before pivoting to a sharp take on Jordan Morgan's offensive line saga — and why LaFleur's "best five" philosophy actually makes a lot more sense now. SAL Universe Brainstorm: AI callers, Gary the neighbor calling in, and a possible Bears fan sparring partner — the ideas are flying and Ryan's taking notes Joe Thomas Clowning: Nico and Ryan light up the former Browns lineman for his "Jordan Love is being held back" takes with zero receipts to back them up Locker Room Cancer Talk: Were the disgruntled Packers players shown the door this offseason? The guys connect the dots and like what they see Jordan Morgan & the O-Line: Why Banks' injury forced Morgan to guard — and why there's real reason for optimism heading into 2025 Rico Can't Hang Up: Exactly what it sounds like, and it's beautiful Hit subscribe, leave a rating, and call in at 608-501-0718 — new callers go straight to the front of the line! #PackernetAfterDark #GreenBayPackers #GoPackGo #JordanMorgan #JordanLove #NFLOffseason #PackNation #PackDaddy This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

Drew from Green Bay calls in with a name Pack Nation needs to get familiar with — Brandon Cisse — and the film and PFF numbers back him up more than you'd expect. Ryan digs into the South Carolina corner's three-year trajectory, draws a compelling JC Horn comparison, and wrestles with the real question: is a trade-up worth it when Green Bay barely has a pick inside the top 100? Brandon Cisse breakdown — Three years of consistent coverage grades, elite run defense, dominant tackling at just 20 years old; the JC Horn parallel is more than skin deep UConn Pro Day — Skyler Bell's agility numbers turn heads (6.65 three-cone), and Joe Fagnano quietly earns late-round buzz with pinpoint accuracy in throwing sessions Notre Dame Pro Day — Jeremiah Love confirms everything the combine showed; Malachi Fields looks like a legit Day 2 target for receiver-hungry teams; Billy Shroud's repeated no-test decisions raise red flags Show future discussed — Ryan reflects on audience growth, the 35K Facebook draft group he keeps forgetting to tap, and what the Draft Room schedule looks like post-draft Call in with your prospect takes at 608-561-3243 and submit your community mock draft at nfldraftgrades.com.

Brick Lombardi has 30 years behind the mic, a busted speaker from the Super Bowl Shuffle, and apparently, a gift for making Packers fans feel things they've been sitting on for six straight Januaries. Welcome to Tundra FM — the newest voice on the Packernet Podcast Network — and this first broadcast swings for the fences. "Juicy Man Drama" — Brick opens with the philosophy his wife cracked in three words, then backs it up with a Baker Mayfield anthem tracking his journey from Cleveland chaos to NFC contender "Frozen Tundra Dreams" — The centerpiece. Six years of playoff heartbreak, unanswered questions, and the stubborn faith that keeps Pack Nation coming back — set to music that actually stings "Same Old Graves" / "Signal From the North" — The Bears rivalry gets a century's worth of receipts, then Brick pivots hard into 2026 Packers confidence: Hargrave holds the line, Love knows the score, and the North is on notice This is something genuinely different. If it hit — text Pack Daddy and tell him you want more Brick Lombardi. Subscribe, rate, and leave a review.

Big Sal is back — and he's got something to say about Micah Parsons, a torn ACL, and the NFL owners' meeting in Phoenix that Pack Nation isn't talking about enough. Yes, the knee buckled in Week 15. Yes, Sal stood in the kitchen with a bag of pretzels for forty minutes. Darlene didn't say a word. But the PUP rule just changed — and that changes the math. The NFL's modified Physically Unable to Perform rule now opens the 21-day practice window after Game 2 instead of Game 4 — and for a cautious front office like Green Bay's, that two-week shift matters more than people realize Parsons' own rehab report out of January: ahead of pace, described as "flying" — his target was always Week 3 or 4, not Week 1 Sal lays out the real risk honestly — three to four games without the best edge rusher in football is not nothing, and he's not pretending otherwise But when Parsons is fully back and healthy? Opposing offenses are already scheming around a guy who hasn't played a 2026 snap yet — that's who we traded for Don't panic. Breathe.

The Packernet Podcast is back with a loaded offseason breakdown. Ryan digs into the massive PFF restructuring following the Teamworks acquisition, the LaFleur and Gutekunst media sessions, and some candid Ed Policy comments that have the fanbase buzzing — including whether Lambeau's name is actually safe long-term. PFF Is Shrinking — Fast: Roughly half the staff was let go after Teamworks acquired the enterprise data side. Ryan breaks down what this means for consumers, why Silver Lake's mismanagement is largely to blame, and whether Collinsworth can keep the consumer product alive without the revenue that actually funded it. LaFleur's Year-One Reset: Matt LaFleur is treating the offensive install like it's his first season — and Ryan explains why the offensive line and Matthew Golden may be the exact reasons why. LaFleur also doubled down on finishing games, promising a start-to-finish emphasis in every single drill this offseason. Locker Room Honesty: In a rare candid moment, LaFleur admitted that role dissatisfaction hurt the team in 2025. Ryan weighs in on who the likely culprits were and what the coaching staff can realistically do about it. Gutekunst & Policy Highlights: Long-time targets Zaire Franklin and Benjamin St-Juste, optimism around Christian Watson's extension, Jordan Morgan locked in at left tackle — plus Ed Policy shooting down Lambeau naming rights talk (for now) and the Packers potentially heading to Munich or Paris in 2026.

Pack Nation, it's another loaded night in the After Dark phone lines — and nothing is off limits. From ARIA getting publicly buried by callers to a full-blown economics lecture nobody asked for, Ryan and the crew covered serious ground between the laughs. ARIA gets the hook — Multiple callers weigh in on the AI news anchor experiment, and the verdict is nearly unanimous. Ryan pulls back the curtain on what went into building her, why version one always stinks, and what comes next for the Packernet AI universe Lambeau revenue solutions — Garrett pitches a tiered tailgating sponsorship model, Beer Cheese Benny raises the corporate greed optics problem, and Randy from Minnesota drops the historical bomb: the Packers have been doing naming rights since day one — they're called the Packers JSN makes more than Jerry Rice ever did — Uncle Rico drops the stat, Ryan goes full libertarian, and somehow Jeff Bezos gets dragged into a Packers podcast Sal's future is being shaped by YOU — Text 608-501-0718 with your questions for Sal. An "Ask Sal" segment may be on the horizon if Pack Nation shows up Call in, sound off, and keep those voicemails coming to 608-501-0718. #Packers #PackernetAfterDark #GreenBayPackers #PackNation #NFLPodcast #Lambeau #ARIA #BigSal #PackDaddy This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!
