The Bengals could have put Vega Ioane in front of Joe Burrow for the next 10 years in an effort to keep him on the field. Instead they got an old NT.
Fun bonus show today as @andrewmertig.bsky.social takes a look at 10 players the Packers could trade up for!!!

🤣 Morale of the story: NEVER get over the thing that caused your trauma.
Every time Noah Wyle walks into a hospital room by himself on The Pitt, I expect there to be someone waiting behind the door to stab him. And if you don’t understand that reference, congratulations, you are young and more mentally stable than I am.

For my episode for Pack-a-Day next week on the Top 10 trade up candidates for Green Bay: Spoiler, Chris Johnson is number one. And that was before I knew about these reports.
Yeah. On one hand, I feel like he's Tutu Atwell. On the other, I'm always a sucker for gadget players.
I keep hearing Tucker Kraft comps. I... don't... get... it...

Agreed. I don't think injury history is particularly sticky from college to the pros. My ranking was more of a projection of his potential draft stock than what I think he'll be as a pro.
They had Hurst for a Top 30. I personally think if they take WR, it will be in the 3rd or 4th round. De'Zhaun Stribling is a name to watch (he's actually my WR11).
Yes. He was actually my number 1 WR on film grade, but the hamstring injury lingering this long (and the injury history) scares me.

Agree on all three.
I think that’s the key. If he gets in the right system, I think the future is bright. If not, it could end pretty poorly.
