Riverboat Gute. Never content. A man obsessed with churning the bottom of the roster. The search for the missing pieces. No stone unturned. His sleep is fitful when he sleeps at all. Tossing. Legs twitching. In that hazy state between asleep and awake, Jack Vanisi and Red Cochran fade, then pulse, pushing a giant round stone up a hill. Gute sits up, lights a Camel filter, walks to the screen porch and stares into the darkness that is Ashwaubenon.

It's a burden only one man can carry. He knows it's his job alone to make the Packers better. Others know the glory, but he knows the loneliness. The weight of a community. A state. A fandom. "No rest for the relentless," he mumbles as he lies on his side. Another power nap, and it's back to work for Brian Willis Gutekunst.

Maybe GB thinks Lachey is a better blocker than he really is. At Iowa, pass catchers don't play unless they can block, and even though Lachey isn't regarded as a good blocker, he did find his way onto the field for the Hawkeyes. He is certainly big enough to block @ 6'6 250lbs. He has great hands but is not overly fast. Maybe he became a better blocker in Houston last year. I guess we will see.

A CB too. Keep working it Gutey, upgrade the few holes we have left. How about Jadeveon Clowney @ Edge?
Or a trade with Dallas for a great blocking TE in Luke Schoonmaker?

This should guarantee a Super Bowl. I just saw the first Mock Draft for 2027. I guess it's hard to come up with stuff to write about this time of year. Who knows, maybe Lachey will surprise.

Camp fodder but one or both of them may surprise and make the team. The more bodies the Packers can look at during TC the better. Thanks, Since '61

So no risk - possible return(s) - on a free trial basis.

I kinda liked Lachey in the 2025 draft.
