In this week’s Tundra Talk podcast, host Joe D’Aloisio is joined by draft gurus Dan Dahlke and Ralph Mancini to discuss the recently-held Senior Bowl and who they feel stood out among the players participating.

The Green Bay Packers exited the Super Bowl tournament last week, losing miserably to the Atlanta Falcons.

With that exit from the playoffs one step from securing a place in Super Bowl LI, the Packers offseason started before we wanted, but also raised an enormous number of questions on how the franchise will approach the NFL Draft coming up at the end of April.

Defense wins championships and because the Green Bay Packers’ defense took a terrible turn for the worse as the 2016 season progressed, the call for GM Ted Thompson to do something about it intensified.

Though it’s impossible to know what’s going on in the head of the Packers’ GM, we have to expect that cornerback might be a focus of the draft once again this spring.

With all that in mind, staffers from Lombardiave once again took to the airwaves to describe who they feel would be good fits for Green Bay, based on the players who performed well and not-so-well at the most recent Senior Bowl.

Who should the Packers focus on? Who should Ted Thompson shy away from?

Are there cornerbacks that might be available to the Packers with their late first round pick? What about linebackers or defensive linemen?

If Thompson goes offense, are there running backs or offensive linemen he may target? Do the Packers need depth at wide receiver?

Dahlke and Mancini will describe what they saw coming out of the Senior Bowl and equate their impressions with what they feel would be best for the Green Bay Packers.

By listening to this podcast you will have a better idea on the players who might succeed in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

Take a listen … and get ready for the NFL Draft.
