The Green Bay Packers aren’t just drafting for 2026… they’re building for 2027.

In this episode of PackersNow, I break down exactly how Brian Gutekunst’s long-term strategy is shaping this year’s draft—and why understanding expiring contracts is the key to predicting what Green Bay will do next.

We dive into:

• Why the Packers consistently draft a year (or two) ahead
• The massive wave of 2027 free agents at WR, DT, and CB
• How compensatory picks quietly drive roster decisions
• My favorite VALUE prospects who fit exactly what Green Bay needs

Including:

• Underrated WRs with true WR1 upside
• Cheap, high-impact defensive tackles
• Corners who could be starting by 2027

If you want to understand what the Packers are REALLY doing in this draft… this is the episode you need.

Plus, a personal note on why this episode means a little more to me.
