My Heart Says Take These Eight — Final Mock Before It All Goes Down

In this final pre-draft episode of the Packernet Podcast, host Cullen delivers a comprehensive and personal mock draft for the Green Bay Packers' 2026 NFL Draft, emphasizing excitement and player fit over pure value. He walks through his thought process for each pick, starting with the 52nd overall selection, where he selects edge rusher Romello Height from Texas Tech, praising his pass-rushing ability despite concerns about his size. He follows with cornerback Malik Muhammad at 84, then defensive tackle Tim Keenan at 120, citing Keenan's elite run defense and potential despite injury history. The mock continues with Charles Demings, Red Murdoch, Pat Coogan, Daquan Wright, and ends with Chase Roberts, prioritizing personal excitement and long-term fit over conventional draft strategy. Cullen acknowledges the difficulty of balancing needs, value, and desire, but ultimately builds a draft that reflects his ideal roster construction. He also promotes the Packernet Draft Guide, highlighting its depth, ongoing updates, and exclusive access for Patreon supporters.
