In today's episode we:

-Breakdown position by position who the Packers kept and who they cut

-Identify high potential players the Packers should have added to their roster and practice squad

On today's episode before we breakdown the final preseason game we discuss:

-Both Tucker Kraft and Luke Musgrave have had very impressive offenses and I think they both will be a big part of our offense in 2025, and they should be because the way teams design their defenses today.

-Some of these same reasons of why 12 personnel is so important to a teams success are the same reasons why the Packers should NOT trade for an elite edge rusher like Micah Parsons, it's just too risky, even if it could work.

-And we might not need an elite edge rusher because Lukas Can Ness seems to have taken a big jump and there are still two affordable difference making players available in free agency to help take this pass rush over the top.

In today's episode we breakdown many topics:

-2 Surprise Players who should make this roster

-Several offensive lineman who failed to take any growth steps and how our depth on the OL could cripple us this year, and how players I deemed to be smart picks in 2024 NFL Draft are starting for their teams this year unlike many of Gute's OL choices

-Jordan Love's Thumb Injury and while this injury is minor, why this impacts the Packers

-Injury update and how it affects our ability to start the year 2-0

-Players to watch in Saturday's preseason game

A lot of changes led to me having to put the podcast on pause over the summer, but most of everything people talk about over that time is a little overrated anyways.

But we are back! And today we breakdown the 3 big positions Brian Gutekunst invested in this offseason:

1. Offensive Line

-Signing Aaron Banks

-Extending Zach Tom

-2025 2nd Rounder Anthony Belton

2. Secondary

-Signing Nate Hobbs

-Cutting Jaire Alexander

3. Wide Receiver

-2025 1st Rounder Matthew Golden

-2025 3rd Rounder Savion Williams

The Packers have officially released Jaire Alexander. Was it a smart financial move—or a decision that could come back to haunt them? Host Ben Kurkowski breaks down the logic, the risk, and the real story behind the surprising cut.Then we shift to the Top 5 Packers set to either bounce back or break out in 2025, from Jordan Love and Lukas Van Ness to rising stars like Tucker Kraft.But there's a problem—the offensive line might be in serious trouble. With injuries, contract holdouts, and a lack of depth at center, the Packers could be risking it all in 2025.Is this a championship-caliber roster—or a house of cards?

-The Packers are in a difficult spot financially

-Elgton Jenkins is refusing to show up to offseason practices, this could've been avoided.

-The Packers lack the star talent to win a Super Bowl

-The positives and negatives of the 2025 schedule

-Why Continuity is the biggest driver of the Packers 2025 Super Bowl hopes

I don't work full-time in the front office for the Packers, but I think with knowing this NFL Draft class now, it's easy to say the Packers made a slew of mistakes over the course of the offseason, that will put our 2025 success in jeopardy, and really force our hand as we deal with salary cap implications in 2026.

Last year right now we can say that Brian Gutekunst had 2 successful draft picks, Edgerrin Cooper and Evan Williams, there may be more, only time will tell. If I was in charge and we look back at last years draft I would have had 2 successful draft picks as well, Edgerrin Cooper and Cooper Dejean. It's important to truly evaluate how our front office is making decisions, because right now it's pretty easy to say that we wish we had Cooper Dejean over Evan Williams. That's what we do today is breakdown how I would have done the draft differently taking advantage of trade down opportunities, and using the consensus board to get steals which Brian Gutekunst never did in this entire draft.

In today's episode we give you a full breakdown of this alien like draft class from Brian Gutekunst, where there is hope that these players could be special players in the NFL, but also valid reasons that they won't.

In the first round the Packers break their streak of not selecting a first round WR by drafting WR Matthew Golden out of Texas, who I'm honestly not to fond of. The Packers messed up an incredible opportunity to trade down with the Giants with so many similar talented players, trading down would've been the best bet. We finish by identifying the best players the Packers should go after on Day 2.
