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 h

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.

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.

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

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 b

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.

NFL Draft Round 1 Recap and Kullen's Top 5 Prospects

Brick Lombardi is behind the mic, it's 24 hours to Round One, and Tundra FM is running three hours of original music to match the only word that fits right now: ominous. While 31 GMs pace hotel rooms and argue with scouts at 2 AM, Brian Gutekunst sleeps. That energy is the whole vibe tonight. "Creeping" — The official soundtrack of every visiting team's slow psychological collapse inside Lambeau Field. Cold walls, cracked paint, 80,000 people who want you dead. You'll feel it. "Yak God" — Tucker Craft. 6'5", 257 lbs, SDSU product, and apparently getting faster. Brick has 30 years in the business and has never seen a tight end treat contact like a personal insult. This one's for him. "Bathroom" — You know who you are. The Shoulder Touch Guy. We made an entire song. Wash your hands. "Be My Couch" — Jordan Love dissects a secondary on Thanksgiving Thursday night, and Sunday becomes a holiday of a different kind: zero stress, turkey sandwiches, and couch sovereignty. Subscribe, leave a five-star review, and

Big Sal from Peshtigo is FIRED UP. The Packers don't have a first-round pick tonight — Gutey shipped it to Dallas for Micah Parsons and Sal would do it again twice over — but that's not what tonight is about. Tonight is about the holiest day on a Packer fan's calendar with no skin in the game: HATE WATCHING. The Lions, Vikings, and Bears are all about to step to the podium, and Big Sal has predictions, grievances, and zero mercy. Why the Lions will draft ANOTHER offensive lineman at 17 while their defense crumbles — and why "In Brad We Trust" is the most delusional meme in football The Vikings spending pick 18 on Dillon Thieneman while their D-line gets bulldozed by Jordan Love twice a year The Bears and their seven-year streak of ignoring defense in round one — plus Big Sal's snowblower analogy that perfectly explains the Chicago franchise One small, petty admission from Big Sal about being jealous of the teams actually picking tonight Ryan and Kullen are LIVE STREAMING day one of the draft with a full w

It's Draft Day One, and Ryan is coming in hot with a take that a big chunk of Pack Nation isn't going to want to hear — wide receiver is not the urgent day-two priority some are making it out to be. With only two picks on day two and a roster that has zero corners, zero safeties, zero linebackers, and zero running backs under contract in 2028, the math just doesn't add up for making WR a must-draft mandate. Ryan breaks down the Watson and Reed contract situation and pushes back hard on fan anxiety, making the case that both receivers will get paid — and for good reason The full positional audit of the 2028 roster is eye-opening: nearly every defensive position is in crisis, making WR arguably the second-most secure position on the team A deep dive into the "secret" Packers QB visit — Virginia Tech dual-threat Chiron Drones, a Jalen Hurts/Malik Willis comp with a live arm, elite rushing grades, and a fascinating high school pedigree Cullen's draft favorites get teased for tomorrow's live stream — and his tra

DESCRIPTION: The Packers' pre-draft picture just got a lot more interesting — and a lot more confusing. Ryan breaks down the bizarre Juwan Gaston top-30 visit controversy, where conflicting reports from Tom Silverstein and social media posts have left everyone pointing fingers, and the most cynical explanation might actually be the most plausible one. Key topics in this episode: Garrett Nussmeier spine update — A cyst on his spine may have tanked his 2025 season, but a spinal specialist has cleared him with no short or long-term risk. Could he be the Packers' secret QB visitor, and does this change his draft stock dramatically? Jermaine McCoy's sliding draft value — A top-10 talent with a knee concern that could push him out of the first round entirely. Ryan explores the Gannon connection and whether the Packers should pull the trigger if he falls. Gutekunst press conference breakdown — BG admits positional need is "subconsciously baked" into the board, doubles down on best player available, and reveals t

Brick Lombardi is back behind the mic, and this session hits different. Four original songs. Four moments from a Packers season that refused to be simple. This is the music that lives inside the doubt, the hunger, the argument, and the anticipation. "Out Gained" — Written mid-season when Green Bay kept winning without earning it. Seven games outgained, 25th in yards, and the clock was always ticking. The wins were real. The worry was louder. "The Hunter" — This one isn't technique. It's the psychological war that happens before the snap. A pass rusher who has already decided the outcome before the ball is snapped. "Record Rules" — The NFL's playoff structure has a geography problem, and somebody finally gave it a snare drum. Seven-and-nine teams hosting playoff games while 13-win squads stay home? Brick lays it out and the Lions' proposal gets its flowers. "Draft Night Protocol" — No first round pick. No apologies. Eight selections, Pick 52, and Brian Gutekunst running cold and steady in Pittsburgh. The mac

Big Sal just got off the live stream and he is NOT calming down. Brian Gutekunst stepped to the podium, and in one quiet line — "I'd rather pick thirty-two every year" — he told the entire NFL everything it needs to know about how the Green Bay Packers are built. Sal couldn't come to the mic without hearing every word first. Pack Nation, he's glad he waited. Gutekunst's pre-draft press conference bombshell: why "pick thirty-two" is a values declaration, not just a soundbite The chrome tool set analogy — why top-ten picks look great and fix nothing, while Guts works with a worn belt and five tools that actually pull nails Seventeen years without a top-ten pick, two franchise quarterbacks, and a GM who has never once tried to tank his way into a solution Guts confirms he has the ammunition to move up from 52 — and what that means for every GM sitting between picks 25 and 51 Subscribe, drop that five-star review, and tell the jagoff at work tomorrow what Gutekunst said. Watch their face do the math. #Packer

The last truly unhinged call-in show before NFL Draft week takes over — and the boys did NOT disappoint. Pack Daddy holds on for dear life as Uncle Rico, Nico from Idaho, and the rest of the crew deliver one of the most gloriously off-the-rails After Dark episodes in recent memory. Buckle up.

Brick Lombardi is back on Tundra FM — 30 years in radio, still here, still doing this — and tonight he's got four songs and absolutely zero patience left. Two back-to-back second-half collapses. A roster deadline that ends careers with a handshake and a cardboard box. A Cleveland loss that felt like a breakup. And one Chicago quarterback who painted his nails but can't paint rings.
