Bring in that Sweat fella on day 3 if he's there DUI and all. Gilbert Brown vibes.
Kinda surprised at all of the DL GB is bringing in for Top 30 visits, but here's another one. Maason Smith via Packers Wire

That dude is so wide he stretched the 1 on his jersey into 0.
Some picks from Day 1
Colby Wooden
Van Ness
Carl Brooks
Rashan Gary
And good to see Enagbare cleared to participate, rehab on schedule
from tweeter
" Colby Wooden mentioned on the Packers live stream he went from 278 up to 290lbs this offseason - putting on 12lbs of "the good stuff" to compete with the big boys."
Brooks is a mofo. He's going to start stomping people in year 2.
This stuff is so good. Not a DL taken this year. 56 safety / linebacker selections.
Also, no WR / TE.
Bananas.
Kingsley Enagbare did not tear his ACL in 2023
"When asked about the situation, Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst claimed that the team initially feared the worst, but was “pleasantly” surprised by the fact that Enagbare did not suffer a full ACL tear versus the Cowboys."
They showed a pic of Enagbare working out with the team on April 15th -
I thought it was kind of strange for a post-ACL guy to be out there so early in the offseason...happy to hear the excellent news

Packers speak for "will place on PUP at beginning of training camp and then have season ending knee surgery (undisclosed) in Sept"

Took all the WR/TE in 2023.
This is the year for LB/S
You can't manufacture players that aren't there. Gutey doing the best he can to navigate the mines and avoid drafting busts while hopefully improving the team.
Here's a write-up on my main man, Devonte Wyatt talking about how he will thrive in the penetrating style defense Hafley is running
https://packerswire.usatoday.c...eff-hafleys-defense/
"When vice president of player personnel Jon-Eric Sullivan was answering questions about the Green Bay Packers’ Day 3 draft picks, he went out of his way to bring up a current player on the roster who he believes is going to greatly benefit from Jeff Hafley’s defense: Devonte Wyatt.
“Devonte Wyatt, I think he’s going to thrive in this defense,” said Sullivan.
“Where you can kind of just pin your ears back, get off the ball. That’s what he was at Georgia — quick, work edges, penetrate, disrupt. I think there’s a bunch of guys who are going to benefit from what we’re doing.”
I remember he had a 1.66 for his 10 yd split at the combine, that's pretty damn quick for a 300 lb human. He ran a 4.77 in the 40

UDFA on the DL
The Green Bay Packers agreed to terms with DL James Ester on April 30, 2024.
Ester was a four-year team captain and was named team MVP twice during his time at Northern Illinois (2019-23). He played in 49 games with 43 starts, recording 121 tackles (50 solo), 20 tackles for a loss, nine sacks, two forced fumbles, a fumble recovery and an interception.
