    Badgers Football 2025-2026

    Badgers used to put out a really great buffet for high school football coaches and the player's parents on football Saturday. That seems quaint compared to today's game. Barry had a winning strategy in keeping close tabs with the state's high school coaches. He didn't lose many top talents to...

    2026 Draft Rd 6 #35 K Trey Smack Florida

    Smack would really need to be erratic in the pre-season to lose the job. In that case, he'd go to the practice squad and the Packers would stick with the veteran kicker for another season. I would expect McManus to be in the mix. It's a big risk to cut a veteran kicker before camp opens and...

    2026 Draft Prospects Thread

    From a lot of angles, the pick makes sense. He's an elite athlete, only 20 years old and a position of need. He's very raw so I don't think he'll be a starter in year one but who knows. The only unfortunate thing is his name is pronounced as sissy. Not exactly scary.

    Trade Watson?

    By that time, the free agent pool isn't empty but it does resemble the kiddie pool. Most of the higher priced guys are gone before the draft. Gute has signed a few late guys but most of the action is in March.

    Trade Watson?

    That's true. Comp picks are canceled out by signing free agents of a similar salary in the same season.

    Trade Watson?

    I understand comp picks depend on whether the Packers pick up free agents. I'm assuming they won't go hog wild in free agency because they have big contract extensions coming up. Both TT and Gute have a proven history of coveting comp picks and not passing up many opportunities with excessive...

    Trade Watson?

    Between 2020 and 2024 the Packers hsd 24 5th round picks. I would say 6 of those guys were good to great players that include Micah Hyde, Aaron Jones, MVS and Corey Lindsley. It appears thst TT was an even better drafter in the fifth round that Gute who has Wicks and Enagbar to his credit...

    Trade Watson?

    Wicks just extended on a one year deal for over 10 million. If he'd of had a productive 2026, a bigger deal would've been likely in free agency getting him in the fifth round comp pick range. With Philly, you're probably looking at a late 5th round pick. Not a lot of value there and similar...

    Trade Watson?

    Moore and Williams haven't shown any indication that they can replace Wicks. Maybe, but so far it wouldn't be based upon performance. What makes Wicks so valuable as a depth player is his versatility. He can play the slot but can move outside if he has to and not be a big liability. Any good...

    Trade Watson?

    The Packers would get a 2027 comp pick for Wicks. He would've played a big role in 2026. Its the Packers, you can count on plenty of injuries. Depth players are more valuable on the Packers because of that reason. I agree that there are probably other issues involved in dumping Wicks. He may...

    Trade Watson?

    I think Wicks has outperformed his draft status. He's a valuable depth player at WR. Since its the Packers, he will be needed to play plenty of snaps in 2026 due to injuries ahead of him. I doubt there's anybody behind him that could seriously compete with him for his role. I just see more...

    Trade Watson?

    I don't dispute that trading Wicks could make sense, but to give him away for next to nothing makes little sense. He could provide valuable depth that they will need when the top guys go down with injuries. Last year, Reed, Watson and Kraft all missed a lot of time. There is no indictation...

    Trade Watson?

    If you used the 5th round pick on a replacement WR, it will take time for the player to develop into a usable depth piece. If the Packers were rebuilding, getting a player for 4 years would make some sense at the expense of not having a quality depth player in 2026 for a roster that can never...

    Trade Watson?

    Those 4 make a good group but the problem is injuries. They're never healthy at the same time. That's why good depth like Wicks is so important.

    Trade Watson?

    You'd probably get a 5th round comp pick but get another season from him if you didn't make the trade. 40 catches for 400-500 yards isn't an unlikely scenario for production in 2026. The trade squanders a season's worth of production.
