Packers 2026/27 Season Thread

So with GB looking for a new backup QB for next year could GB pull off a repeat and go back to Tenn? Would Will Levis be worth a 7th round pick?
 
Will Smart, who just earlier this decade wrapped up his collegiate playing career at Wake Forest, is headed to the NFL after just two seasons as a college assistant coach.
Smart, who first served as a graduate assistant under Dave Clawson at his alma mater and then spent the 2025 season on Clark Lea's Vanderbilt Commodores staff, is going to the NFL to join the defensive staff of the Green Bay Packers.
 
Guessing he is going to get a DC QC title were he breaks down tape and any other odd jobs the staff can give him.
 
Really curious what our college-ball clued in members think of this one.
