On this episode of Mr. Irrelevant, Alex Strouf, Josh DiMaggio, and Will Sommers break down everything surrounding the Green Bay Packers just one day before the NFL Draft begins in Pittsburgh. The crew reacts to Brian Gutekunst’s latest pre-draft press conference, including what his comments revealed about Green Bay’s plans despite not holding a first-round pick. They discuss whether the Packers are more likely to trade up, trade back, or stockpile even more selections, and what that could mean for the roster moving forward. The conversation also dives into the Packers’ biggest needs entering draft weekend, with a heavy focus on cornerback, defensive tackle, backup quarterback, and offensive line depth. The guys debate how urgent the need at quarterback really is behind Jordan Love, whether Desmond Ridder is enough insurance, and if Green Bay should spend a mid-round pick on a developmental backup. They also unpack Gutekunst’s awkward comments on Lukas Van Ness, why the former first-round pick is entering a make-or-break season, and what it says about Green Bay’s recent draft philosophy. Later, the show shifts to the Packers’ offensive line outlook after Gutekunst voiced confidence in the current group, even while raising more questions than answers. The crew also talks through what the Packers may really think about their current depth, whether the front office is signaling trust or just standard GM speak, and why offensive line could still be one of the team’s biggest priorities in the draft. Beyond the NFL Draft, the episode also touches on the Brewers’ big win over Detroit, a four-game hitting streak from Sal Frelick, and the ongoing debate over whether the “Summer of Sal” is back on. There’s also the usual mix of sidebars, jokes, and chaos, including telemarketer scams, Drake in Packers gear, and another round of One Word Wednesday.
