With the NFL Draft just days away, J.J. Lahey and Jake Schyvinck bring in Packers draft analyst Josh Barnard for a special bonus edition of Packers: DERAILED. The episode centers around a live Packers mock draft exercise where Josh is put on the clock for Green Bay’s Day 2 picks while the guys debate realistic draft scenarios, prospect fits, and how Brian Gutekunst could approach the board if things break a certain way in Round 1.

The conversation covers a wide range of Packers draft targets, including defensive linemen, offensive linemen, corners, edge rushers, and tight ends. Josh breaks down players like Jennings Dunker, Julian Neal, Grayson Halton, Caleb Banks, Lee Hunter, Bryce Lance, Eli Raridon, Sam Roush, and more while explaining which traits fit Green Bay’s historical draft preferences. The group also debates prospects they are skeptical of, including Derrick Moore, Keenan Nelson Jr., Daryl Jackson, and several of the bigger-name offensive tackle prospects in the class.

J.J., Jake, and Josh also spend time discussing Packers roster construction under Jeff Hafley, Green Bay’s linebacker room after the addition of Zaire Franklin, Matt LaFleur offensive fits, and how scheme changes could influence the Packers’ draft board. Along the way, the episode veers into classic DERAILED territory with jokes about Redacted Energy, draft Twitter, mock draft chaos, Bears fans in the family, and what it would take for Green Bay to make a move up into the first round.

J.J. Lahey and Ryan Schlipp are back on Packers: DERAILED to sort through what the national media is missing about the Green Bay Packers. The conversation starts with the early returns on Jeff Hafley’s defense, where the pressure looks more creative than the Joe Barry era, but issues remain with run fits, lane discipline, Kenny Clark, and Quay Walker.

The show then shifts into Aaron Rodgers narrative talk, as J.J. and Ryan question how much of his late Packers tenure has been cleaned up or ignored by national coverage. They revisit Rodgers’ 2022 play, missed opportunities in the passing game, the 2021 MVP debate, and why Packers fans may remember those seasons differently than the broader football media.

From there, the episode gets fully DERAILED with WOAT nominations, Will Levis slander, Caleb Williams and the Bears’ quarterback development problem, a Titans preview, and a late Jake Schyvinck cameo. They also discuss Jayden Reed’s growing role as Green Bay’s WR1, Ryan’s irritation with Matt LaFleur’s “we-fense” nickname for special teams, and the eternal Packers problem of making special teams feel harder than it should.

Major episode topics:

J.J. Lahey, Ryan Schlipp, and Jake Schyvinck kick off the first WOAT awards of the season on Packers: DERAILED, spotlighting the most aggressively bad moments from Week 1 around the NFL. Will Levis, Caleb Williams, the Cincinnati Bengals, Joe Douglas, Deshaun Watson, and the Haason Reddick situation all come up as the crew works through the league’s roughest starts.

The episode also gets into the Packers’ season opener, including Josh Jacobs’ elusiveness, Jayden Reed’s absurd playmaking, Edgerrin Cooper’s early flashes, and Green Bay’s defensive work against Jalen Hurts. The guys also question Kenny Clark’s pursuit angles and discuss whether Joe Burrow deserves more scrutiny after another slow start.

Because this is Packers: DERAILED, the football talk eventually turns into film reviews. Jake breaks down Cocaine Bear, Ryan weighs in on Shin Godzilla, and Strange Brew gets a recommendation as the conversation veers from NFL analysis to cult movie chaos.
