Draft Room: Breaking Down All Eight Green Bay Packers Top 30 Draft Visits

In this episode of the Packernet Podcast, host Ryan Schlipp breaks down the Green Bay Packers' eight top 30 draft visits leading up to the 2026 NFL Draft. He emphasizes the significance of these visits—where teams can meet and evaluate up to 30 prospects—despite the low odds of drafting any of them (roughly 1 in 32). Schlipp analyzes each of the eight prospects in detail, starting with Georgia State wide receiver Ted Hurst, a 6'4" receiver with elite size and contested catch ability who overcame a lack of college offers to become a Senior Bowl standout. He then reviews linebacker TJ Quinn from Louisville, a 235-pound, well-rounded defender with safety experience and strong tackling instincts. Offensive lineman Josh Geske, a 335-pound Illinois product with type 1 diabetes and impressive pro day numbers, is highlighted for his physicality and discipline. Texas Tech’s Romello Height, a high-upside pass rusher with Parsons-like traits, is seen as a potential second-round fit, while quarterback Barron Morton is examined as a durable, efficient backup candidate with significant medical concerns. Cornerback Charles Demings, a standout FCS player from Stephen F. Austin with elite length and ball skills, is compared to Eric Stokes and Kamal Haddon. Finally, running back Mike Washington Jr., a 6'2", 228-pound power back with a blazing 4.33 40-yard dash, is praised for his production but questioned as a top pick given the depth at the position. Schlipp also touches on breaking news about Dexter Lawrence’s trade request from the Giants, analyzing the Packers’ slim chances of acquiring him due to draft capital and salary cap constraints.
