Jason Wilde

Jason Wilde joins Jim, Matt & Molly on the Yuengling Guest Hotline. They start with Jason's REFUSAL to say something he hasn't said on any other show today before he answers the show's Siding Unlimited poll question -- Are the Packers closer to winning the Super Bowl than they were at the end of last year? They get into more takeaways from the Packers' 2026 NFL Draft class -- did drafting kicker Trey Smack behind Brandon McManus get them closer to winning this season, and which of the Packers' picks will end up as their STEAL of the draft?

Jason Wilde joins Homer to break down what stood out from the Packers’ draft, including Green Bay’s decision to bring another rookie kicker into the mix. Jason explains why the move signals competition, but also why recent struggles at the position make it fair to be skeptical. He also digs into sixth-round pick Domani Jackson, the former USC and Alabama cornerback, and shares an interesting connection between Jackson and former Packers safety HaHa Clinton-Dix. Plus, Jason talks through transfer culture in college football, what it can reveal about a player, and where Green Bay’s newest additions could fit right away.

The draft is over — but Jason Wilde says the Packers still have a major question to answer.

In this segment of Jen, Gabe & Chewy, Wilde gives his post-draft evaluation of Green Bay’s roster and doesn’t hesitate when asked about the team’s biggest remaining concern:

👉 The offensive line

🚨 Wilde’s Clear Answer

When asked directly, Wilde says:

👉 He would vote YES that the O-line is still the Packers’ biggest issue

Despite the front office saying they feel good about it, Wilde points to:

lingering depth concerns
uncertainty behind the starters
and the reality of how quickly injuries can derail a season
🧠 Jaden Reed Deal = Steal?

Wilde also reacts to the Jaden Reed extension:

Not surprised by the deal
Surprised by how low the money was

The takeaway:
👉 Reed could end up being a massive bargain if he produces

👀 Kicker Situation Gets Interesting

One of the more fascinating parts of the segment:

Packers traded up to draft a kicker
But still have Lucas Havrisik in the mix

Wilde’s view:
👉 If the rookie wins, that makes sense
👉 If Havrisik wins… then what was the pick for?

🧩 Running Back Depth = Risky?

The conversation also highlights:

Heavy reliance on Marshawn Lloyd behind Josh Jacobs
Lloyd has played just 1 of 36 possible games
Packers are clearly betting on his health turning around

👉 Wilde questions whether that’s a safe bet

Jason Wilde joins Kyle and Brust to break down the Packers’ crowded cornerback room and the expectations for rookie Brandon Cissé. Wilde pushes back on firm timelines, emphasizing that Green Bay will play the best performers, regardless of draft status or contracts. The crew debates Benjamin St-Juste’s true value and whether Cisse can compete for a starting role earlier than expected. Wilde also highlights how past examples like David Bakhtiari prove opportunity comes quickly if a player is ready. Plus, he explains why Jayden Reed’s new deal could already be a bargain and evaluates Brian Gutekunst’s draft strategy, praising the process while acknowledging the uncertainty of outcomes.

Jason Wilde joins Molly & Matt on the Yuengling Guest Hotline to react to the Breaking News that the Packers and Jayden Reed have agreed to a 3-year, $50.25 million extension with $20M guaranteed! Jason explains why this feels like an incredible bargain for a REALLY GOOD slot receiver, and they discuss how this impacts Christian Watson entering the final year of his contract. They also discuss if the Packers should now draft a wide receiver in Rounds 2 or 3 tonight -- will Gutey really just pick the "best available" or should need factor into getting an immediate impact player? They also discuss the Rams drafting Ty Simpson behind Matthew Stafford -- is this the latest example of a team following "the Packer way" of QB development --, will the Packers move up or down with their 8 draft picks, and could the Packers actually draft a running back in Round 2?
