    Ep. 383 Who Will Green Bay Take at Pick 52? Brian Gutekunst Strategy, Bucks Hire Taylor Jenkins & Sal Frelick Debate
    Apr 24 2026
    On this Friday edition of Mr. Irrelevant, Alex Strouf, Josh DiMaggio, and Will Sommers break down everything Packers fans need to know before night two of the 2026 NFL Draft. With Green Bay holding pick 52, the crew previews the biggest positions of need, debates whether Brian Gutekunst will stay put or trade up or down, and looks at the most likely targets at cornerback, defensive line, offensive line, running back, and quarterback. They also react to the biggest surprises from round one, including Ty Simpson, Arvell Reese, and the early run on certain positions, while discussing what the board now looks like for the Packers. The guys spend plenty of time on Green Bay’s draft strategy, whether the Packers can find an immediate-impact player without a first-round pick, and how much pressure is on Gutekunst to nail these selections. They also revisit lingering roster questions, including the future of Lukas Van Ness, the cornerback room, and whether Green Bay should add another quarterback behind Jordan Love. Beyond the draft, the show touches on the Milwaukee Bucks hiring Taylor Jenkins as head coach, Drake wearing Packers gear, and the ongoing Sal Frelick debate as Alex continues to defend the “summer of Sal” while the other guys remain unconvinced. There’s also plenty of the usual chaos, including a detour into bidets, old-school Moby Dick rap memories, and classic Mr. Irrelevant nonsense.

  • Ep. 382 Packers Draft Strategy, Brian Gutekunst Press Conference, Lukas Van Ness Decision & Sal's Hot Streak

    Ep. 382 Packers Draft Strategy, Brian Gutekunst Press Conference, Lukas Van Ness Decision & Sal's Hot Streak
    Apr 22 2026
    On this episode of Mr. Irrelevant, Alex Strouf, Josh DiMaggio, and Will Sommers break down everything surrounding the Green Bay Packers just one day before the NFL Draft begins in Pittsburgh. The crew reacts to Brian Gutekunst’s latest pre-draft press conference, including what his comments revealed about Green Bay’s plans despite not holding a first-round pick. They discuss whether the Packers are more likely to trade up, trade back, or stockpile even more selections, and what that could mean for the roster moving forward. The conversation also dives into the Packers’ biggest needs entering draft weekend, with a heavy focus on cornerback, defensive tackle, backup quarterback, and offensive line depth. The guys debate how urgent the need at quarterback really is behind Jordan Love, whether Desmond Ridder is enough insurance, and if Green Bay should spend a mid-round pick on a developmental backup. They also unpack Gutekunst’s awkward comments on Lukas Van Ness, why the former first-round pick is entering a make-or-break season, and what it says about Green Bay’s recent draft philosophy. Later, the show shifts to the Packers’ offensive line outlook after Gutekunst voiced confidence in the current group, even while raising more questions than answers. The crew also talks through what the Packers may really think about their current depth, whether the front office is signaling trust or just standard GM speak, and why offensive line could still be one of the team’s biggest priorities in the draft. Beyond the NFL Draft, the episode also touches on the Brewers’ big win over Detroit, a four-game hitting streak from Sal Frelick, and the ongoing debate over whether the “Summer of Sal” is back on. There’s also the usual mix of sidebars, jokes, and chaos, including telemarketer scams, Drake in Packers gear, and another round of One Word Wednesday.

  • Ep. 381 Packers Draft Priorities, Dexter Lawrence Fallout, Giannis Rumors & the Brewers’ Sal Frelick Debate

    Ep. 381 Packers Draft Priorities, Dexter Lawrence Fallout, Giannis Rumors & the Brewers’ Sal Frelick Debate
    Apr 20 2026
    Alex Strouf, Josh DiMaggio, and Will Sommers dive headfirst into one of the busiest sports stretches of the spring with an episode packed around the biggest Wisconsin storylines. With the NFL Draft just days away, the guys spend a big chunk of the show breaking down what the Packers should do with their early picks, why cornerback still feels like Green Bay’s biggest roster concern, and how the Dexter Lawrence trade reshapes the market after Brian Gutekunst’s Micah Parsons move. They also debate whether the Packers are truly as worried about corner as fans are, what the team’s recent draft history says about their approach, and how many picks Goody might actually make. The conversation then shifts to the Bucks, where the frustration keeps building. The crew reacts to more Giannis comments about the rumors that followed Milwaukee all season, questions why people around the organization keep talking instead of letting the situation cool down, and unpacks what it all says about the direction of the franchise after another disappointing year. There is also plenty of exasperation over the never-ending cloud hanging over the team and what comes next for Giannis and the front office. Over on the Brewers side, the guys talk through Milwaukee’s recent slide, Christian Yelich’s injury, and whether fans should be worried yet or just chalk it up to the natural turbulence of a long season. That turns into a heated back-and-forth over Sal Frelick, his early-season struggles, and whether the “Summer of Sal” is already in trouble or just taking the scenic route. Throw in talk about Brandon McManus, the Packers’ kicking situation, Drake showing up in Packers gear, and the usual Mr. Irrelevant detours, and you get a loaded episode that hits all the biggest topics from Packers draft week to Brewers panic levels.
