About this episode

Gary Ellerson joins Homer for a draft-focused hour, starting with the wild story of how he went from USFL limbo to a seventh-round pick of the Packers. Gary shares what draft day meant to him, why Donald Driver exceeded every expectation, and what Green Bay still needs most in this year’s class. He makes the case for cornerback help, more veteran leadership, and explains why he did not like the Dontayvion Wicks trade. The show wraps with classic Homer and Gary back-and-forth on Doc Rivers, grandkids, and telling the truth.
