Matt discusses his latest mock draft picks for the Packers, Green Bay's philosophy of prioritizing the trenches rather than WRs in the first round, the conspiracy of now wanting to trade out of pick No. 23, the potential fits of Boston College defensive end Donovan Ezeiruaku and Arizona wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan, which NFC North team has the best overall draft record, and when he sees this year's crop of Badgers prospects (Hunter Wohler, Jack Nelson, & Joe Huber) getting drafted!

Jim Rutledge & Molly Brown hold it down with Matt Hamilton out to start this week. They broadcast Monday's show live from The Sylvee in Madison before running back up to the Everlight Solar Studio for an interview with ESPN Draft analyst Matt Miller at the end of Hour 1! Jim & Molly open the show discussing how Gutey should attack this year's draft and ask today's first Siding Unlimited poll question: Should the Packers prioritize the quantity or the quality of their picks in this year’s NFL Draft? Jim also discusses his theory about which two draft picks that he thinks the Packers won't be able to resist if they're available in Round 1... They also compare Gutey's draft record to the GM of Jim's team, Ryan Poles, and the specific areas of the draft that Gutey has found the most value!

Jim Rutledge & Molly Brown race back down from the Everlight Solar Studio to the Sylvee for today's broadcast at the Frank Distributing showcase event.

Then they discuss the value of drafting a backup quarterback on Day 3 and ask today's second Siding Unlimited poll question: What’s the earliest that the Packers can draft a QB without possibly upsetting Jordan Love?

Jason Wilde joins for the THIRD time this week and the first time since sitting down with our crew at the Packers Tailgate Tour on Wednesday! Jason joins our film review of Matt Hamilton and Mr. Irrelevant Alex Strouf getting almost the exact same canned answers out of Packers President/Comedian Mark Murphy, who brushed aside the rumor that he won't let the Packers trade out of the first round. Jason gets into why trading down from Round 1 might be the best move given this year's crop of players around pick No. 23. We also get Jason's thoughts on an AI-generated version of Green & Gold prospector Matt Hamilton as well as the Barbie/action figure versions of Jim and Molly!

Jim Rutledge, Matt Hamilton & Molly Brown wrap up their busy week with Phish Friday! Since it's their first show since interviewing Packers President Mark Murphy and tight end Tucker Kraft, they review the tape of how everyone performed, including Matt's fan-boy behavior with Murphy and Jim (likely) insulting Kraft's home state (which is South Dakota and not Idaho)... They get into more of their favorite moments from Wednesday's broadcast at the Packers Tailgate Tour stop in Madison, including producer Primetime's awkward interview request for "Mr. Murphy." They also review the tape of Matt and Mr. Irrelevant Alex Strouf getting Mark Murphy to give almost the exact same answer (to slightly different questions) at separate stops on the Tailgate Tour. They ask today's Siding Unlimited poll question: Who is a better interviewer -- Mr. Irrelevant or Mr. Gold Medalist?

With the Bucks taking on the Pistons at 6pm with playoff seeding on the line, Molly has the guys give their predictions for the scoring in Friday's contest, and they predict which golfer will take home The Masters green jacket (including a final score prediction). Producer Primetime recycles a couple poll questions about how we'll remember Mark Murphy as Packers President & CEO and what restaurant gives out the best bread/rolls!

Enjoy the best of our conversations with Packers tight end Tucker Kraft, President & CEO Mark Murphy, and our very own Packers reporter Jason Wilde at the Packers Tailgate Tour stop in Madison!

First, Tucker Kraft talks about his growing role in the Packers' offense -- both with his playstyle and as a more vocal leader -- how he's taking another step going into year 3, and he reacts to one NFL Hall of Famer who has yet to learn his name... Matt also goes full Fantasy Football & asks Kraft if he'll be able to overcome the jinx of being "Matt Hamilton's guy."

Then, Mark Murphy talks about the start of the NFL Draft in Green Bay, what it's like inside the Packers' war room on draft night, Brett Favre unretiring around the Tailgate Tour in 2008, and the transition to Murphy's successor Ed Policy this coming July. Matt also asks about Murphy owning a golf course -- aka the "Augusta of Door County." He also gets into the Packers' proposal to ban the tush push and being "a hated man in Philadelphia". The conversation gets cut a little short by technical difficulties after an Eagle crashes into our remote broadcast...

Lastly, Jason Wilde joins for a rare IN-PERSON appearance on the show! He talks about the glaring roster holes that the Packers will need to fill in this year's Draft and if that will threaten Gutey's philosophy of "best player available", and he answers our question about which position the Packers should "double up on" in this year's Draft. He also discusses the recently drafted players on the Packers we still have incomplete grades for or that we don't really know anything about, the growing presence of Tucker Kraft as a more vocal leader and playmaker, and if there's a new threat rising in the NFC North down in Chicago. He also talks about the viral couple of Cubs fans who caught our attention for sharing a chicken tender "Lady and the Tramp-style"!

Asparagus??? They find try to find the perfect balance between "messy and delicious"!
