No theoretical hypothesis. Just actual 2026 DC production!
Poor @espnhomer after spending months telling everyone how the UW football program fell apart because of 💰 & will be good this year because of more 💰, the AD flees before it all bottoms out. Wrong again Homer. Just listen to Big Cat instead of those I told you to NOT listen to!
Haven't watched a single minute this year. First time in almost a decade I can say that. The Combine, once a true NFL "Event" is no longer viewed necessary for player evaluation by an alarming amount of NFL teams & even more scary, by college prospects.
Day 1 of the combine had a 37% participation rate, down 18% year over year compared to 2025. The 3 cone had a 50% participation rate pre-pandemic. It's just 13% now.
It's getting very Pro Bowl for TV viewers:

TYLER BIADASZ-NO BRAINER!
He would immediately solidify Packer's OL & bring back a bully, enforcer attitude this group is 100% missing. He's from Amherst, WI, was the Dave Rimington Trophy winner his last year in Madison ('19) & elected to Pro Bowl, '22.
⬇️Too good to be true⬇️
The last college "true" OG the Packers drafted on Day 2? Jason Spitz, Louisville, at 76 in 2006 & he was drafted as a Center.
Not impossible, but damn near impossible in Green Bay. They draft Tackles & turn them into Guards. It just is.
Replying to @BloodyMcnally
I wouldn't be opposed at all to taking a CB or DT at 52, but guard in the 2nd round isn't early
As I stated pre-draft, Pierce reminded me a lot of Jordy Nelson & chosen by the Colts w/the Packers original #53, they used to move up to get Watson. Vikings used 53 to move up to draft CB Andrew Booth Jr. major bust now playing in UFL, but traded him to Dallas for Nahshon Wright
This is the perfect example of "No publicity is bad publicity."
In a time without social media or "clicks" - this 20 seconds propelled Mel's career and began the "NFL Draft Industrial Complex."
Without Mel Kiper, nothing today would have been possible.
BOTD Bill Tobin
Who in the hell is Mel Kiper anyway? He’s never put on a jock strap, never been a coach, or administration and all of a sudden he’s an expert.
Kiper has no more credentials than my neighbor, who is a postman that doesn’t have season tickets to the #NFL
"...The players absolutely deserve a piece of the pie."
This is an opinion.
The opinion that has begun to ultimately destroy college/amateur athletics.
Typically comes from a bumpersticker phrase (like yours above) w/o foresight or understanding of 2nd & 3rd order effects.
Replying to @GandGdraft @espnhomer
You are completely missing the point. College athletics is a multi billion $$ industry and the players absolutely deserve a piece of the pie. Nobody cares what ex athletes think it’s doing to college sports. If it’s truly ruining it, then the money will dry up.
NEWS: Anonymous Florida Gators donor shares insight into Eugene Wilson III’s NIL demands, Per @PeteNokos_
•Remain on field unless tired
•$350k upfront, $75k every three months until end of season
• team issued photographer to follow him around all times on campus
So, once again, @espnhomer changes the rules in the middle of the game, his most effective tactic when he's lost the argument ⬇️
I never said early titles "mean nothing."
They ABSOLUTELY must be taken into context tho.
When a league had just 8 teams, it's EXPONENTIALLY easier
Pre Superbowl & Superbowl Era.
I mean, it's pretty easy, isn't it?
AFL/NFL merger in 1966, fully implemented in 1970 bring the NFL to 26 total teams (The NBA was only 14 teams). The NFL has only added 6 teams in nearly 60 years.
CONTEXT: It's just not that difficult.
The NBA had 8 total teams in 1956, Russell's Rookie season. Added 6 teams in 1968 (14 total). Russell retired in 1969.
So, in 12 of his 13 years, he competed against just 7 teams. Currently, there are double the amount of NBA playoff teams each year (16).
CONTEXT MATTERS!
1. Parsons: Best Def Player
2. Tom: Best OL (hurt most of season)
3. Kraft: Irreplaceable
4. Wyatt: Best Interior DL
5. Jenkins: Top OG
6. Jacobs: limited all year
Yet, the team was literally an onside kick recovery away from winning the North & having a home playoff game.
You don't have a clue, do you? You've never even read the Alston case, have you? How about the US House settlement?
You haven't a clue, right? It's moved beyond NIL to an unregulated, pay for play, free-for-all.
You really don't know as much as you think.
Huh...interesting...
But the crowd that kept yelling "college athletes must get paid" won't admit how very wrong they were.
So, listen to 2 of the greatest college athletes in the last 50 years, explain it to you.

Bo Jackson on NIL:
“It's teaching young kids how to run away from their problems…It’s ruining college sports.”
Full episode ft. Bo Jackson & Barry Sanders: double check but youtu.be/E5rUShuMivo?si=fJE3…
Nobody will admit it now, but....
The majority of Badger Basketball fans wanted Greg Gard fired within 2 years of his hiring.
Remember that, people.
Remember that.
More "smartest guy in the room" thinking from a guy who talks on the radio for a living. There is a ton of recency bias in this math w/little historical value. A year or 2 of data is too small to garner a decent assessment. Go back 25 years. The data tells a much different story.
“You don’t need the HOF QB for the #Packers. Then, you have to have elite defense and special teams… How do you get that if you pay the QB [$55 million per year]?”
@EvCoRadio on Jordan Love | #GoPackGo
Yeah...let's not waste people's time with actual facts. Instead, let's gin up attention with stupid/fake hot takes every day, claim you're always correct by moving the goalposts when proven wrong & maintain you could have coached the '96 Packers to a Superbowl win. Sounds better.
More idiot Packer fans, like @BrianWunsch who have ZERO clue about the NFL, especially outside of Green Bay. Schneider wanted to extend Smith at $20M+/year and keep Metcalf. There were literally dozens of articles on this less than a year ago. Dum asses
unavailable
Here's another one, Mr @BrianWunsch in which Schneider admits he had to "pivot" off of both Geno & DK in offseason. There are many more, including Schneider saying they could "fix" DKs issues.
Maybe just keep your idiot mouth shut if you don't know actual facts next time, hey?
No matter how you grade, whether it's "blue chip", First Round Grade, etc, '26 is a bad draft for top-level talent. Generally, 10-15 prospects grade out at 1st Round/Blue Chip per draft. Not this year.
'26 FA market is also very weak. Now is the time to trade if ur rebuilding!
On the latest Draft Season @TonyPauline goes through his first round grades in this year's draft class. Next week we take some fan questions - reply here - get them in!
