Good to see some competition for Orzak in camp.

Potential Breaking News

The Packers might of just broken down and gave a player a non-signing bonus guarantee for the first time in decades

Russ Ball was supposedly dead set against these, but almost all the teams were going to them for UDFAs, there was 3 or less teams that were refusing to give them, and the Packers might of finally broke and finally given their first one.

Reported UDFA Signings
Donovan Jennings, OL, USF
Jennings is an interesting UDFA candidate. According to NFL reporter Aaron Wilson, the Packers signed him to $110,000 guaranteed with $10,000 of that coming in the form of a signing bonus. Per Wilson, that bonus is more than they gave to any undrafted free agent player in the 2023 class and they didn’t guarantee any salary to any undrafted free agent last year. Jennings’ big game on his resume was against Alabama last year, when the Bulls nearly upset the Crimson Tide. In that game, Jennings held Minnesota Vikings first-round pick Dallas Turner to virtually no wins as a pass-rusher. He also had a pre-draft visit with the Packers.

I know some draft purists recoil at using draft picks on special team guys at K P and LS but I don't a problem with it when you're sitting on a stockpile of 6th and 7th rounders from trades and comp picks.

Packers draft LS Bradley Hunter and then he was outplayed by another LS and the Packers stupidly stuck with Hunter because he was a draft pick...

The other LS went to the Buccaneers and won a Super Bowl and is still there playing. Where arguably a LS error against the 49ers cost us an NFC Championship game (in a different year)

And yeah it's dumb to hold onto one simply because you drafted one. 6th and 7th rounders get the axe all the time. If you're drafting a specialist the mindset should be "We want the inside track on this guy and don't feel like wasting time in the UDFA market with him" and not "He's OUR guy."

And the Monk one, they only traded up 5 picks in the late 5th...

We lost out on picks #190 and #219

#190 could of been my late draft crush DT Khristian Boyd, Northern Iowa

#219 could of been... Edge Javontae Jean-Baptiste, Notre Dame or Myles Cole, Texas Tech
