# Peter Bukowski: Bukowski expects Georgia State receiver Ted Hurst to be drafted before the Packers' third-round pick at No. 84, and believes edge rushers David Bailey, TJ Parker and Cassius Howell will all be gone before Green Bay picks at No. 52. He also ranks Hurst as his top day-two receiver ahead of Chris Brazzle and Jeremy Bernard. **Claimed:** Mar 27, 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/09bb77e6-bef4-4939-b363-69eba913d13d/audio/128/default.mp3?aid=rss_feed&awCollectionId=fffb8e40-f0de-47f1-97e3-cf2e2fd0ffe9&awEpisodeId=09bb77e6-bef4-4939-b363-69eba913d13d&feed=FkBDUQLt 5 checkable claims — 4 mock draft picks and 1 top player list — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet.
