Packernet After Dark: These Are Our Guys Now — Time to Get Excited

Pack Nation, Big Sal from Peshtigo is FIRED UP — and for once, it's not because Brian Gutekunst did something dumb. It's because the man might've actually done something SMART. Sal cracks open the Jayden Reed extension, sees the sneaky cap-flat structure, and connects the dots to what's REALLY coming next: Christian Watson and Tucker Kraft. 🔥 Why the Reed contract is a "tackle box" — looks big, but the real money is up front 💰 The cap runway Gutey is quietly building for Watson AND Kraft extensions ⚠️ Why you PAY Tucker Kraft right now, torn ACL or not, before the price explodes Is Sal really about to apologize to the GM? Almost. ALMOST. Don't get crazy. But today, for one rare day, the math is mathing in Green Bay. If this take got you fired up, smash that subscribe button and drop a five-star review. Sal will be back tomorrow with another one. #GoPackGo #PackerNation #JaydenReed #ChristianWatson #TuckerKraft #BrianGutekunst #NFLSalaryCap #GreenBayPackers #PackernetPodcast #BigSal This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

Brick Lombardi is back behind the mic and tonight Tundra FM went four deep — four songs, four genres, zero apologies. We opened with "Green Voltage," a German industrial metal anthem about that Pittsburgh comeback nobody saw coming. Down 16-7 on national TV and the Packers ripped the script apart. Then we honored the legend himself — Clay Matthews gets the tribute he deserves with "The Predator," because number 52 earned every note. "Pack Attack" welcomes Micah Parsons to Green Bay with bars aimed straight at Jerry Jones and that Sunday night Dallas showdown — no tribute video needed "Always Meant to Be" is a tech-house meditation on Gute's quiet six-pick draft: McClellan, Sutton, Burton, Jackson, and Trey Smack booting 50-yarders like it's nothing From Rammstein energy to dance floor vibes, Brick proves there's no genre Packers music can't conquer First episode available on both the podcast feed and YouTube — the door's open wider now Whether you've been riding with Tundra FM since day one or this is your first time hearing Brick spit, buckle up. It only gets weirder from here.

Big Sal did not sleep last night. He was up until two in the morning reading draft grades, pacing the living room in his socks, and now he has something to say about it. Sports Illustrated gave the Green Bay Packers a D for their 2026 draft class, and Sal is here to burn that grade to the ground — pick by pick, stat by stat, slippers and all. Sal makes the case for Brandon Cisse as a Day 2 steal: a twenty-year-old corner who ran a 4.41 and allowed just eighteen catches in coverage at South Carolina — and why calling him "raw" misses the entire point of developmental drafting The picks SI barely mentioned: Chris McClellan's eleven-inch hands and scheme-perfect fit, Dani Dennis-Sutton's 9.96 RAS and fourth-round robbery, Jager Burton's zero sacks allowed and 4.94 forty at 312 pounds Why drafting Trey Smack is not a punchline — it is a direct response to Brandon McManus leaving seven points on the field in a four-point playoff loss Big Sal said what he said. Now it's your turn — subscribe, leave a five-star review, and tell the guy at the gas station who thinks the Bears had a better draft. #Packers #GreenBay #NFLDraft #PackNation #PackersDraft #LetMeTellYouSomething #BigSal #NFL #DraftGrades #PackDaddy This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

Ryan dives headfirst into two stories dominating the NFL news cycle — one that keeps getting more shocking by the day, and one that's completely manufactured nonsense. First up, the Diana Rossini-Mike Vrabel situation has escalated far beyond hotel photos. Ryan walks through the full timeline of new evidence, including a Spotify playlist discovery that connects some very uncomfortable dots, dating back years before the public ever caught wind of anything. The full Rossini-Vrabel timeline: from 2015 GM affair allegations to the latest Spotify playlist bombshell, deleted accounts, and social media sleuthing that points to something far deeper than anyone initially assumed Conception window analysis that has the internet calling for paternity tests on both of Rossini's children The Micah Parsons "controversy" that isn't one — Ryan plays the full unedited clip and exposes how every major account clipped the same dishonest snippet to manufacture outrage A passionate rant on the softening of NFL culture, fake outrage, and what happens when fans care more about feelings than football Don't be a stranger — subscribe, leave a review, and join the conversation. #Packers #GreenBayPackers #NFL #PackersNews #MicahParsons #DianaRossini #MikeVrabel #NFLDraft #PackNation #GoPackGo This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

The draft dust has settled and Pack Nation is calling in HOT. Tonight's After Dark crew breaks down every Packers pick from the quality-over-quantity approach to the late-round gambles, and the consensus is clear — this might be Gute's best draft yet. Plus, the callers are already handing out nicknames and cooking up Lambeau traditions for the new guys. Beer Cheese Benny kicks things off with love for the Jager Burton pick and his zero-sack streak at Kentucky, while Batman delivers a scorching take on the Bears' disastrous draft and Caleb Williams' regression risk behind a potentially crumbling offensive line Daniel from California breaks down the upside of Brandon C'Sae's Stephon Gilmore mentorship, McClellan's unmovable run defense, and why Deny Dennis Sutton's athleticism and production make his draft fall inexplicable Uncle Rico solves the pronunciation problem once and for all — DDS is now officially "The Dentist" — while Aaron pitches the "What Does the C'Sae?" wave as Lambeau's next great defensive tradition TJ from Alabama co-signs the consensus board rant, delivers a public service announcement about the dangers of mispronouncing "jag off," and the crew debates whether street free agents still make sense with a full 91-man roster Call in and join the conversation: 608-501-0718. New callers go straight to the front of the line. #Packers #PackersNation #NFLDraft #GreenBay #PackernetAfterDark #GoPackGo #GoSmackGo #TheDentist #PackNation #NFL This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

Brick Lombardi opens up the vault and the draft week jukebox is stacked. The Packers took a corner — Brandon Cisay out of South Carolina, 52nd overall — and Pack Nation already gave the kid a full tongue twister anthem before he's unpacked a suitcase. 41-inch vertical, 4.41 forty, and a chorus that might require dental insurance to perform. 🎤 "Cisay on Tundra FM" — a rapid-fire tongue twister track celebrating Green Bay's new second-round CB, complete with seashells, shutdowns, and a dare to say it yourself 🎤 "Juicy Man Drama Pt. 2" — the vault opens with an R&B-polished Biggie-inspired sequel covering Baker Mayfield's revenge arc, Buffalo's front-office meltdown, and the Packers' eternal offseason debate cycle 🎤 "Really Enjoy Beating You" — a tambourine-and-hoodie petty masterpiece aimed squarely at Ben Johnson's infamous post-game presser quote 🎤 "You Can't Deny It" — a new jack swing confession for every listener caught at 2 AM with headphones on, telling themselves they'll stop after one more episode Four tracks. Draft week energy.

Big Sal is back to close out the NFC North draft review series, and he saved the easiest roast for last — the Detroit Lions. After falling from 15-2 and an NFC Championship appearance to a 9-8 couch season, Brad Holmes answered with the safest, most vanilla draft class Big Sal has ever seen. Blake Miller at 17 is the meatloaf of draft picks — nobody's mad, nobody's excited, he just exists. Meanwhile the rest of the division is eating steak. Detroit traded UP to take Derek Moore over Zion Young, paying more to get the prospect most analysts graded lower. Two of their first three picks are Michigan Wolverines — that's not scouting, that's a Big Ten alumni mixer with a salary cap. Five of seven picks were defensive players, yet they still didn't address safety or tight end. The secondary got torched in 2025 and Holmes put a bucket under one leak and called it a renovation. One bright spot: Keith Abney, CB out of Arizona State in the fifth round — real value that even Big Sal can't deny. The final NFC North draft report card is in: Bears delusional, Vikings a disaster, Lions safe and boring, and Green Bay sitting on top with a roster built to win. Subscribe, leave a five-star review, and spread the word — the NFC North runs through Lambeau. #GoPackGo #Packers #NFCNorth #DetroitLions #NFLDraft #GreenBay #PackNation #BigSal #LetMeTellYouSomething #PackernetPodcast This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

Ryan's back and loaded with takes on this episode of the Packernet Podcast. From new jersey number reveals — including Brandon C'Saye rocking #2 and Javon Bullard's switch to #7 — to the bombshell report that 21 of 32 NFL teams want to eliminate the seventh round of the draft, this one covers a LOT of ground. The case for and against cutting the 7th round, including the massive financial gap between late-round picks and UDFAs and what it means for roster-building Why the 18-game season panic is overblown — and why comparing the NFL to the NBA's 82-game grind is flat-out wrong A passionate deep dive into consensus draft boards vs. actual results: Evan Williams, Jaden Reed, Christian Watson, and other "reaches" that worked out just fine A reality check on what a successful draft class actually looks like — hint: two starters and a couple rotational guys is a WIN Ryan breaks down why draft "reaches" don't equal bad players, why the media grade machine is broken, and why Pack Nation needs to pump the brakes before declaring this class a bust. Plus, a reminder: the media industry keeps imploding, so maybe don't go into sports journalism. #Packers #GreenBay #NFLDraft #PackersNation #GoPackGo #NFL #PackerNet #DraftGrades #18GameSeason This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

The draft is done, Pack Nation — and the Packernet After Dark crew is breaking it all down live with the callers. Ryan and the gang go pick by pick through Green Bay's 2026 class, from the defensive tackle trade-up to the Jagger Burton vs. Brian Parker debate at center, and yes — drafting a kicker named Smack in the late rounds. Omar, Kyle from Madison, Beer Cheese Benny, and Nico all check in with their reactions. The case for Jagger Burton over Brian Parker at center, and why the Packers' size preferences made the decision Why kicker Trace Smack is a massive upgrade over the Anders Carlson experiment — and the PFF grades to prove it Running back concerns: Why Green Bay isn't worried about the position and still believes in Marshawn Lloyd Ryan's passionate monologue on why every part of the football calendar matters — stop reducing your enjoyment to "it only counts if it's the Super Bowl" Plus, a quick update on nfldraftgrades.com — the 2027 draft class is now live on the site with 800+ prospects and a full big board, no paywall required.
