    Ep. 356 Packers Draft Class Ranked Dead Last + What Are You Good At

    On Mr. Irrelevant with Alex Strouf, Josh DiMaggio, Will Sommers & Hunter Vaughn: 📊 NFL Draft Class Rankings: We break down NFL.com’s ranking of the 2025 draft classes, where the Green Bay Packers rank dead last (#32) while the rival Chicago Bears come in #1 — and discuss whether that’s concerning or expected given how few rookies saw meaningful opportunity last season. 📉 Packers Draft Reality: Strouf digs into how the lack of rookie contributions since 2023 has impacted team success, especially compared to how Seattle and last year’s Eagles thrived en route to a Lombardi Trophy. 🤔 Confidence in Gutekunst?: We debate the confidence level in Packers GM Brian Gutekunst’s ability to nail the draft after eight years on the job and what it means for building a contender. 💰 Offseason Concerns: Strouf explains his concern about how the Packers can elevate this team in free agency and the draft with limited salary cap room and several key decisions looming, while Josh tries to calm him down. 🏀 Bucks Update: The Milwaukee Bucks keep rolling, defeating the Thunder to enter the All-Star Break with no signs of tanking as they await Giannis Antetokounmpo’s return. 🔎 What We Missed: As always, we wrap with under-the-radar storylines and key takeaways you might have overlooked ahead of the weekend.

    Season 2 Finale: Getsy Returns + Packers Offseason Decisions on Jacobs, OL and Rashan Gary - Weekly Wilde

    One more for the road. The Season 2 finale of the weekly edition of Weekly Wilde is here, and Jason Wilde and Alex Strouf close the book by diving into what’s next for the Packers after Super Bowl week. They start with the most unsurprising (and most debated) hire of the offseason: Luke Getsy returning as quarterbacks coach after Sean Mannion leaves. From there, they get into the backup quarterback plan with Malik Willis expected to depart, and why the Packers are clearly stacking reclamation projects behind Jordan Love. Then it’s rapid-fire offseason triage: Josh Jacobs and the value of leadership and toughness, the reality of offensive line decisions (Elgton Jenkins, Aaron Banks, Sean Rhyan), and the looming Rashan Gary cap and production conversation. Plus: why “change for change’s sake” is tempting, but not always better.
