Peter Bukowski· Mar 2, 2026
Wachowski reviews combine leftovers and Packers roster moves: he expects Arkansas running back Mike Washington Jr. could climb into the top 50 picks, thinks this is likely Josh Jacobs' final season in Green Bay, expects Quay Walker and Emmanuel Wilson to leave, and projects a third-round compensatory pick if Malik Willis signs a big deal elsewhere.
“I think there's a good chance this is Josh Jacobs last year as a Green Bay Packer.”
