The Green Bay Packers aren’t just drafting for 2026… they’re building for 2027.

In this episode of PackersNow, I break down exactly how Brian Gutekunst’s long-term strategy is shaping this year’s draft—and why understanding expiring contracts is the key to predicting what Green Bay will do next.

We dive into:

  • Why the Packers consistently draft a year (or two) ahead
  • The massive wave of 2027 free agents at WR, DT, and CB
  • How compensatory picks quietly drive roster decisions
  • My favorite VALUE prospects who fit exactly what Green Bay needs

Including:

  • Underrated WRs with true WR1 upside
  • Cheap, high-impact defensive tackles
  • Corners who could be starting by 2027

If you want to understand what the Packers are REALLY doing in this draft… this is the episode you need.

Plus, a personal note on why this episode means a little more to me.
