# Peter Bukowski: Wachowski reviews combine leftovers and Packers roster moves: they expect 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. **Claimed:** Mar 2, 2026 **Pundit:** Peter Bukowski — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/peter-bukowski **Outlet:** Locked On Packers (podcast) — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/locked-on-packers-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air, transcribed by us **Original:** https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/pdrl.fm/5b095f/lockedon.simplecastaudio.com/fffb8e40-f0de-47f1-97e3-cf2e2fd0ffe9/episodes/75adc06d-4a63-4988-a667-6c844426f17d/audio/128/default.mp3?aid=rss_feed&awCollectionId=fffb8e40-f0de-47f1-97e3-cf2e2fd0ffe9&awEpisodeId=75adc06d-4a63-4988-a667-6c844426f17d&feed=FkBDUQLt 7 checkable claims — 4 trade and signing calls, 2 mock draft picks and 1 team draft slot call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.
