Pack Daddy and Cullen break down the last wave of Packers top-30 visit prospects ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft, covering a diverse mix of developmental upside, elite athleticism, and the kind of high-character profiles Green Bay has consistently prioritized. Plus — a quick note on the Jake Flint hiring as assistant strength and conditioning coach, and a big announcement about the live draft stream on Patreon.
