The Jump Around

Jim Rutledge, Matt Hamilton and Molly Brown are all back together to kick off NFL Draft Week! First, they look at an article from The Athletic measuring how every team in the NFL has performed in the NFL Draft over the last 5 years. They focus on where the Packers stack up against their NFC North rivals and why missing on first-round picks hamstring Green Bay's ceiling in this exercise. Then, they react to the cavalcade of "ignorant" comments from Packers GM Brian Gutekunst at his pre-draft press conference today, including the quotes that the team doesn't use RAS scores when evaluating prospects and that the team apparently doesn't need to find an immediate contributor in Round 1.... They ask today's Siding Unlimited poll question: Do Do the #Packers need to get a Day 1 starter with their first-round pick? For the final two segments of Hour 1, they debut a new segment exclusive to Draft Week: the Dreams & Nightmares Draft scenarios for the Packers and the NFC North! Today, they live in the nightmare scenario, listing their worst-possible Round 1 scenarios for who the Packers and the rest of the NFC North could draft!

Matt, who named McMillan as his "nightmare" draft pick for the Packers, reacts to Rob Demovsky's insight about what the Packers would do if he's still available at pick no. 23. Matt also still can't get it out of his head that Gutey is casting aside RAS scores and the idea that the Packers need an immediate contributor in Round 1... During Throwing Stones, they bite into Kyle Kuzma's historic box score from the Bucks' loss to the Pacers in Game 1 of the playoffs, including a member of KBN who made a big zero of a prediction for Kuz...

Jason Wilde joins Jim & Matt to go deeper into Jordan Love's comments on the Kay Adams Show about the Packers "needing... my guy" Jaire Alexander. After the saga with Josh Jacobs' comments about No. 1 WRs on Super Bowl radio row, do we really think that Gutey pays any mind to players who make comments about the team's personnel decision, and is there any realistic scenario that Gutey wants Jaire back in Green Bay? They also go deeper into Jordan Love's demeanor and how he engages with and leads teammates as the face of the franchise. Also, is Matt Hamilton still Jason Wilde's "guy"?

Just how many tight ends can Matt fit on a pontoon boat? They move into a much less reliable narrator than Matt Hamilton, as they blind react to Aaron Rodgers' appearance on the Pat McAfee show today, including a non-update update on his free agency, a mysterious & serious relationship, and how the Jets had fly out on his "own dime" just to dump him... and even Matt can't defend his guy Aaron on this one!

Then, they pivot to their Don't Quote Me longshot predictions for the Bucks upcoming series against the Indiana Pacers! With Dame possibly coming back from his blood-clotting medical scare in time for Game 2, how optimistic is everyone that they can advance past Indiana, and what does it even mean for Milwaukee if they survive long enough just to face the Cavs or the Celtics?
