Wednesday Cheese Curds: Packers’ revamped wide receiver group gears up for summer competition

Wednesday Cheese Curds: Packers’ revamped wide receiver group gears up for summer competition

The Packers’ young wide receiver room added some interesting competition in the draft.

I think we all know the broad strokes of why the Packers’ wide receiver room was remodeled this offseason. There is short- and long-term uncertainty at wide receiver, and the group needed a boost. That’s all great and easily understood.

But what’s less clear right now is how all of this shakes out. Yes, the Packers have added two noteworthy receivers this spring, but where will they land on the depth chart? How will they be used on the field? And how will both of those things...

A Steelers trade for Romeo Doubs makes sense

A Steelers trade for Romeo Doubs makes sense

Pittsburgh traded George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys

The Pittsburgh Steelers just traded wide receiver George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys for a third-round pick and a late-round pick swap, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Considering that the Steelers are still actively trying to recruit quarterback Aaron Rodgers as their starting quarterback, it’s worth taking a look at their wide receiver unit sans Pickens.

With Pickens out of the picture, the clear number one receiver on the team is DK Metcalf, who the Steelers traded for this offseason via the Seattle Seahawks, but the depth behind Metcalf is very shallow....

ESPN: Only 1 Packers draft pick named top-100 selection in 2025 class

ESPN: Only 1 Packers draft pick named top-100 selection in 2025 class

Matthew Golden is the Packers’ lone top 100 selection, according to Matt Miller

There are very few original forms of post-draft content out there, so I want to give a shoutout to an article that ESPN’s Matt Miller wrote last week, titled: Ranking the 100 best picks, steals, fits. Based on the top 100 “best picks” that Miller listed off from the 2025 NFL Draft, though, it’s pretty clear that he wasn’t a fan of what the Green Bay Packers did.

While over 40 percent of the total selections from the three-day draft made the top-100 cut, only one Packers...

Former 5-star WR fails physical with Green Bay Packers

Former 5-star WR fails physical with Green Bay Packers

Former Ohio State and Penn State receiver Julian Fleming reportedly failed his physical due to hip and back injuries

Coming out of high school in 2020, Julian Fleming was the top-ranked receiver per 247 Sports’ consensus rankings and was the third-ranked player in his entire high school class — only behind defensive tackle Bryan Bresee and quarterback Bryce Young, two future first-round picks in the NFL. Unfortunately for Fleming, he was never able to reach the superstardom that his recruiting profile predicted.

Over five seasons at the college level, Fleming posted just 1,139 receiving yards, nearly half of which came...

Packers Film Review: Texas defensive end Barryn Sorrell

Packers Film Review: Texas defensive end Barryn Sorrell

Today we take an in-depth look at Packers rookie defensive end Barryn Sorrell.

The Green Bay Packers made a strategic move in the fourth round (124th overall) of the 2025 NFL Draft by selecting Texas defensive end Barryn Sorrell, a dynamic and versatile pass rusher with the potential to become a key contributor in Jeff Hafley’s defensive scheme.

Measuring in at 6’3” and 256 pounds, Sorrell brings an intriguing blend of athleticism, scheme versatility, and untapped potential to a Packers defense looking to bolster its pass rush and run stopping capabilities.

This pick represents excellent value for Green Bay, as...

Former Packers cornerback is back on the market

Former Packers cornerback is back on the market

Robert Rochell was released by the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday

Following their rookie minicamp, the Kansas City Chiefs made a surprising move in releasing former Green Bay Packers cornerback Robert Rochell. The 130th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, Rochell was picked up by the Packers during the 2023 regular season and suited up for 20 games for the team over the last two years. Known best as a special-teams ace, rather than as a defender, Rochell played 233 special-teams snaps for Green Bay compared to just one defensive rep.

The Chiefs added just one cornerback via the 2025...

Tuesday Cheese Curds: NFL will have plenty chances to put Packers on national TV

Tuesday Cheese Curds: NFL will have plenty chances to put Packers on national TV

One week from tomorrow, the NFL will announce its 2025 schedule, and the Packers are sure to be a featured team once again.

In 8 days, the NFL will finally release its schedule for the 2025 season. The Green Bay Packers should once again be one of the more prominently-featured teams this season, given that they are coming off back-to-back playoff berths and have one of the NFL’s most exciting young quarterbacks.

There are also plenty of tantalizing matchups for the Packers this season. All of the divisional games should be interesting options, of course, but there are several other...

Who are the 11 players who tried out at Packers rookie minicamp?

Who are the 11 players who tried out at Packers rookie minicamp?

With one spot now open on the roster, the Packers will likely sign one of these players shortly. But don’t rule out the possibility that more than one ends up back in Green Bay at some point this summer.

The Green Bay Packers hosted rookie minicamp over the weekend, and along with 27 players currently counting on the team’s 91-man roster, the Packers also invited 11 additional prospects in on a tryout basis. The Packers have not announced the signing of any of these 11 players, but they did free up one roster spot on Monday afternoon [with the release...

How many primetime games will the Packers play in 2025?

How many primetime games will the Packers play in 2025?

Let’s make some guesses based on the Packers’ 2025 opponents.

We already know who the Packers will play in 2025. The NFL’s schedule rotation rules make it easy to project who the Packers will play years in advance, to say nothing of the fact that the league’s divisional structure means we’ll always know at least six games a year no matter what.

But the NFL is making us wait for the full schedule, as they always do, so we’re left to speculate when the Packers will play their already-determined 2025 opponents. And, more importantly, we’re left to wonder how many...

Monday Cheese Curds: Mark Murphy recaps the NFL Draft, rookie minicamp concludes

The Packers’ president weighs in on a tremendous event.

Somehow, it has already been nine days since the 2025 NFL Draft concluded. The event was truly one to remember for Green Bay Packers fans in attendance, and we at Acme Packing Company will have a couple of draft diaries coming in the next few days to go over our experiences over that fantastic weekend.

Packers president and CEO Mark Murphy deserves more credit for bringing the draft to Green Bay than anyone else, and it’s only fitting that he get a chance to give his perspective on the event. This...

Weekend Open Thread

Feel free to get your rants off

Since it’s starting to get slower around here, at least until training camp officially kicks off in late July, we decided we’re going to bring open threads back for the weekend. Feel free to rant and rave about whatever you want, be it the Green Bay Packers’ draft class or another subject.

Here’s what I’m thinking about:

Yahoo Sports’ Nate Tice had just one defensive tackle graded as a top-25 prospect on his way-too-early list for the 2026 draft. The player was Peter Woods of Clemson, rated the number one player on his...
