Craig Karmazin joins Jen, Gabe & Chewy for a conversation that goes in two huge directions: the Milwaukee Bucks hiring Taylor Jenkins and the NFL Draft decision by the Rams that instantly reminded everyone of the Packers drafting Jordan Love.

🦌 Bucks Hire Taylor Jenkins

The Bucks have their new head coach, and Craig reacts to the hiring of Taylor Jenkins as Milwaukee begins a new era.

The discussion centers on:

Why Jenkins feels like a solid, defensible hire

His background with Coach Bud and previous time in Milwaukee

His success in Memphis and why many around the league still viewed him positively

Whether a coach in the NBA is more about X’s and O’s or managing stars and egos

👀 Was Giannis Involved?

That leads to the biggest Bucks question:

Did Giannis have any say in the coaching hire?

Craig is honest that he doesn’t know for sure, but the conversation digs into:

Giannis posting that the Deer District “should be loaded right now”

Whether that was a message of frustration or solidarity with Bucks fans

How much power Giannis still has within the organization

Why everything in Milwaukee still ultimately goes back to Giannis

🏈 Rams Draft a QB… and Everyone Thinks “Jordan Love”

The NFL Draft side of the conversation gets just as interesting.

The Rams taking Ty Simpson at No. 13 sparked immediate comparisons to the Packers drafting Jordan Love:

A win-now team using a premium pick on a future quarterback

A head coach who may not have been fully on board

The tension between planning ahead and maximizing a Super Bowl window

Craig says Jordan Love has clearly worked out for Green Bay, but also argues the Packers may still have cost themselves a better chance at another title by not going all-in in that draft.

RBS HR 2 - Rizz and Hammer continue to discuss the draft and express how they feel Andrew Berry did on day 1.

Carmen and Shea Norling recap the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft, including the Bears selecting Oregon safety Dillon Thieneman at pick #25!

The Packers had chances to move up — but they never even tried.

In this segment of Jen, Gabe & Chewy, Jason Wilde reveals that Green Bay did not seriously consider trading into the first round, choosing instead to stay patient and trust the board heading into Day 2 of the NFL Draft.

🚨 The Key Insight

According to Jason Wilde:

👉 The Packers never picked up the phone to move up

They believed it would be too expensive

They were comfortable staying put

And they like what’s still on the board

🧠 Why the Packers Stayed Put

Even with a trade-heavy first round:

Green Bay trusted their evaluations

They believe quality players will be there at Pick 52

The strategy reflects their long-term approach

📊 Positions to Watch

Wilde highlights three key needs:

Cornerback

Offensive line

Defensive line

👉 Addressing two of these would be a successful night

🔄 Trade Possibilities Still Exist

While they didn’t move up:

The Packers could still trade up or back tonight

Gutey may look to add picks

Flexibility remains a big part of the plan

🧩 Backup QB Conversation

The segment also touches on:

Why trades for guys like Anthony Richardson or Will Levis are unlikely

The idea that Desmond Ritter may already be their backup plan

Continued commitment to internal development

The Packers didn’t make a splash in Round 1 — now everything comes down to what happens at Pick 52.

In this hour of Jen, Gabe & Chewy, the conversation shifts fully into Green Bay’s draft strategy, with Jason Wilde joining to break down why the Packers stayed put and what comes next.

👀 The Big Question: Stay or Trade Back?

As the Packers prepare to pick:

👉 What’s more likely — stay at 52 or trade back?

Gutekunst historically wants more picks

But the roster needs players who can contribute now

And fans are split on what matters more

🧠 Jason Wilde’s Key Insight

Wilde explains:

The Packers never seriously considered trading into Round 1

They believed the cost was too high

And they feel good about the players who could still be available

👉 Confidence in the board is driving the strategy

📊 The Positions That Matter

From the discussion, three areas stand out:

Cornerback

Defensive line (DT/Edge)

Offensive line

👉 Addressing two of those would be a strong night

⚖️ Picks vs Immediate Impact

This is where the debate gets real:

Trading back = more shots at players

Staying put = better chance at a difference-maker

And Chewy’s concern:

👉 The Packers need guys who can contribute right now, not just develop

🧩 Bigger Philosophy Question

The segment raises a deeper issue:

👉 Are the Packers going “all-in”… or just treading water?

Limited free agent moves

Heavy reliance on draft picks

Massive draft capital next year

👉 Is this a setup for a bigger push later?

RBS HR 1 - Rizz and Hammer react to the Browns' picks last night in the draft and get the thoughts of the fans.

Rizz and Chris react to round 1 of the NFL Draft and don't like what they saw from the Cavs.

The Packers had chances to move — but they didn’t.

In this segment of Jen, Gabe & Chewy, Jason Wilde breaks down Green Bay’s decision to stay out of the first round entirely, revealing that Brian Gutekunst and the front office never even seriously considered trading up.

🚨 The Big Reveal

Jason Wilde shares:

👉 The Packers didn’t even pick up the phone to move into Round 1

They knew it would be too expensive

They stayed disciplined

And stuck to their board

🧠 Why Gutey Stayed Put

Despite a chaotic, trade-heavy first round:

Green Bay felt confident in their position

The board didn’t force their hand

And they believe value will still be there at Pick 52

👉 The message: trust the process

👀 Why This Draft Feels Different

No first-round pick creates a different energy

Less immediate impact, more patience required

But internally:

👉 The Packers feel GOOD about who could fall to them

📊 Positions That Matter Most

Wilde outlines three key areas:

Cornerback

Offensive line

Defensive line

👉 Addressing two of those would be a win

🔄 Trade Possibilities Still Alive

Even without a first-round move:

Packers could trade up or down tonight

Gutey still likely to maneuver

Could add picks later in the draft

🧩 Backup QB Conversation

The segment also touches on:

Why trading for guys like Richardson or Levis is unlikely

The belief that Desmond Ritter may already be the plan

Packers trusting internal development again
