Christian Watson faces PRESSURE to be WR1 after defense-heavy draft for the Packers
About this episode
The episode discusses the pressure on Christian Watson to perform as WR1 after the Packers' defense-heavy draft.
After the Green Bay Packers focused the 2026 draft on defense, the burden falls on Christian Watson to man the passing game for Jordan Love and Matt LaFleur. Plus, Brian Gutekunst put together an impressive haul of UDFAs, and why signing free agents makes more sense now for the Packers.
