Where \"Draft and Develop\" isn't just a philosophy...it's a way of life.
It’s almost time to close the books on the 2025 NFL season, but one game remains before that happens: the Super Bowl. This year’s game is a rematch of the game that took place in Arizona 11 years ago, which memorably ended on an interception by Malcolm Butler in the end zone. Yes, it’s the […]

Green Bay Packers backup quarterback Malik Willis, who had a 134.6 passer rating over two years with the team after general manager Brian Gutekunst traded a 2025 seventh-round pick for him in the summer of 2024, is set to be a free agent in 2026. It seems unlikely that Willis will be brought back to […]

The Super Bowl is this weekend, and the Green Bay Packers are not part of it for the 15th consecutive season. Instead, the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots are meeting at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara to face off for the Lombardi Trophy. As a Packers fan, I’m fairly neutral on this game. […]

Nobody’s going to argue that Matthew Golden had a statistically dominant rookie season, or even a particularly noteworthy one. 29 catches for 361 yards isn’t going to turn a lot of heads, no matter how you slice it. But Golden was great for the Packers in at least one significant area: he consistently came up […]

The Green Bay Packers have had a bit of an odd season from a coaching standpoint. Obviously, defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley left to be the head coach of the Miami Dolphins, but he also brought a bunch of people with him to Miami that the Packers could have blocked from taking, what, in the eyes […]

Jordan Love was a spectacularly efficient quarterback in 2025. Just about any stat you can find paints him as a quarterback who took care of the ball and got results when the Packers put the ball in his hands. So why didn’t the Packers do it more? Maintained by consummate stathead Ben Baldwin, rbsdm.com is […]

Under the guidance of general manager Brian Gutekunst, the Packers have developed a pronounced tendency at running back. The team favors burly, powerful backs, valuing their ability to grind out yards as opposed to ripping off big gains. Coupled with an increased focus on gap-oriented, inside runs, this has led to a Packers’ backfield made […]

The Green Bay Packers have played in just two international games in the franchise’s history, first in London in 2022 and then in Brazil in 2024. It’s no coincidence that both of those games took place when the team had 9 home games as part of the NFL’s 17-game schedule, and recent reporting suggests that […]

Today, let’s talk about how we see the 2026 offseason playing out. To set the table, we’ll take a position-by-position look at the roster and identify where the team needs bodies the most. I think I’ve seen Green Bay packers fans cut or trade every player on the team at various points already, so I […]

I wrote last week about how I no longer care for what I call the “passive model” of defense, and many league trends on offense that led me to this conclusion. The major point is that over the last forty years, completion percentage has consistently gone up, interception percentage has consistently gone down, and yards […]

In total, Garrett received a perfect 500 points in the voting process. Behind Garrett, though, it was a bit of a […]

The 2026 NFL coaching carousel churns on. While there have been a number of hires in Green Bay, mum is the word on a potential change at offensive line coach — though that’s never stopped analysts and fans alike from digging, ruminating, and wish-casting.

While Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst stated on Wednesday that the team doesn’t need to make wholesale changes at the cornerback position, the Packers will, at a minimum, need to get ahead of expiring contracts at the position in 2027. As it stands today, the only notable cornerback on the team who is […]

Earlier this offseason, former Green Bay Packers offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, who served as a defensive analyst for the team in 2025, agreed to become the quarterbacks coach of the Miami Dolphins, which was taken over by former Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley. Now, there will be a pivot in Hackett’s career, as he’s accepted […]

I don’t think we’ve ever had a press conference discussion thread before, but I figure some of you will be interested to hear Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst’s talk with the media — if you have the time to watch it midday on a Wednesday. This is the first time that Gutekunst has […]

The “will they/won’t they/should they” dance over Matt LaFleur’s contract extension last month soaked up just about all of the available discourse resources among Packers watchers. But that wasn’t the only new deal that got done: in addition to LaFleur, general manager Brian Gutekunst also got a new deal, as did cap savant Russ Ball. […]

When it comes to draft rankings, I think it’s important to evaluate the evaluator. To me, there’s no one in the business doing better work on offensive linemen than Brandon Thorn, who currently drops his draft prospect rankings on Bleacher Report as part of their B/R NFL Scouting Dept. series. Thorn, whom I have previously […]
