    Mike's Mid-Week Chat: Which draft picks will make an impact as rookies?

    How soon do you think we see AJ Dillon? What odds would you give to him being a featured part of our offense by the end of the season? 2nd round pick makes me think he's going to be expected to play. I do think he's going to play, and I can see him sharing the No. 2 role with Jamaal Williams...

    Austin from Washington, D.C. Excited to see the UDFA list! Three were projected by ESPN to be drafted: Tipa Galeai (OLB), Patrick Taylor (RB), and Stanford Samuels III (CB).

    Inbox: Nothing's one size fits all

    Paul from Nortglenn, CO At season's end I recall ML saying Gary needs to be more involved. Based on the DL remaining the same, could last year's 12th pick be this year's biggest contributor to run defense improvement? If there's one thing I would rank as my top curiosity on defense heading...

    Inbox: The Packers will use all of 'em

    Steve from Middletown, KY Barring injury, Davante Adams will have another great year. However, I expect to see more double teams on him. Will there need to be better schemes to get him open? He obviously takes the pressure off the other receivers. So, if our No. 2 receiver has close to a...

    Inbox: All those things should be kept in mind

    Paul from Minneapolis, MN Going on record with your consistent doubts that Gute would NOT take a QB at 1 proves to me one thing: You guys are not in the tank for the Pack just because you work for the team's site. II readers should respect that. I still don't like the pick though, but that's...

    Jon Runyan eager to carry on father's NFL legacy

    "He's always been really hands off with everything," Runyan said. "He's always been there as a resource for me, kind of an invaluable resource. Something that not a lot of people get, obviously. Like he just told me a couple minutes ago, 'The work is just starting.' "Everything I've done...

    Plenty of power in Packers' pair of sixth-round interior offensive linemen

    That said, power is only a piece of their games. "I take pride in my athleticism," said Stepaniak, a full-time starter the last two years at guard for the Hoosiers. He started 31 games overall and earned third-team All-Big Ten honors from the media as a senior. "I don't think I'm a one-sided...

    Packers' seventh-round picks look to make their mark

    All Scott could do is hope NFL scouts would watch his college film and see his versatility. There also was his landmark performance against Oklahoma last fall, in which he returned an interception 98 yards for a touchdown. It took him two seasons to crack a deep secondary but made it count...

    The outlook on what the Packers got, and didn't get, in their 2020 draft

    No new receivers After all the talk about this being the deepest wide receiver draft class in several years, the Packers didn't select a single one amongst their nine picks. Turns out, Gutekunst didn't share the opinion of the group's depth, explaining he was impressed with a lot of the...

    2020 NFL Draft: Packers select Cincinnati TE Josiah Deguara in third round, No. 94 overall

    Deguara went from an overlooked two-star recruit to becoming only the second tight end in UC history to eclipse 1,000-yards receiving for his career (1,117) along with former Philadelphia Eagles tight end Brent Celek (1,135). His 92 career receptions is the most in school history for a tight...

    Packers had A.J. Dillon on their radar as a freshman

    With Jones' 20-plus touchdown season in 2019, he'll be pricey to re-sign, and it's hard to envision the Packers keeping the dynamic duo together, particularly if Williams wants to seek a top-dog role somewhere. But Owen stressed Dillon isn't just a draft pick for the future. His body type and...

    Packers see potential rookie impact from Day 2 picks

    What Gutekunst hasn't done on offense is add a receiver, which was expected, or an offensive tackle. Or a defensive lineman or linebacker for that matter. But Gutekunst is proving he's not a needs drafter. He trusts his process to draft the best available players. Still, grabbing a receiver...
