Spoff and Hod, when opening the Inbox and seeing all our questions and comments: “Why do we always come here? I guess we’ll never know. It’s like a kind of torture, to have to run this show!”

It’s time to get things started on the most sensational, inspirational, celebrational, Inboxetational…this is what we call the Spofford Showwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

I attend a training camp practice or two every year, there’s nothing like the feeling that football is back! What is your favorite moment of anticipation for the upcoming season?

Minicamp. It feels like the last day of school before heading into summer break. But it’s also fun because you know training camp and football are waiting on the other side.

Hey fellas, can you imagine an offensive play where we have Jayden Reed flying behind the line on a jet sweep with Josh Jacobs and Savion Williams in the backfield while Matthew Golden shoots off on a go route? Sign me up! If I’m a DB or LB, I wouldn’t know if I need to crash down into the box, rush over to cover Jayden Reed or swing right to make sure Williams doesn’t bounce out or catch a ball in the flat. So many possibilities and that doesn’t even cover Tucker Kraft/ Luke Musgrave quick block and leaking out.

That’s what I was hinting earlier this week when discussing Golden and Co.’s speed. Even if the defense plays coverage and only rushes four, it’s still difficult to keep tabs on that many skill-position players.

With the addition of Matthew Golden and the recovery of Christian Watson going well, can they both be on the field at the same time?

Yes, once Watson is healthy. That would be sublime.

How’s Christian Watson’s recovery coming?

Watson told reporters at a recent community event that he’s “in a really good spot” with his rehab, both mentally and physically. That doesn’t surprise me considering Watson is as mature a 25-year-old as you’ll find. He acknowledged he still has “a couple more months ahead of me,” but it sounds like he’s been a fixture at the facility throughout the offseason.

It’s usually assumed that draft picks at the top of the draft are talented enough to play in any scheme. As teams get deeper into the draft and look for “traits” they hope will make a player successful, how important is the fit? Any players NFL-wide that you feel were shortchanged career-wise because of a poor fit? Packer players?

I think the most important thing is opportunity. Players could fit perfectly into a scheme, but they may not be able to showcase it if their position is stacked or they get overlooked. The best example of that is college free agency where hundreds of prospects and their agents are trying to figure out where they have the best chance of “making it.”

Wes, while the Packers seemingly have an embarrassment of riches in the WR room, that would be relative to the others in the room. How would you compare the talent level there to the rest of the NFL? While it might be a good problem to have, you would hate to release good football players back into the wild where other teams can collect them at no cost. Are we overstocked in that room? If you were to pick a position on the roster that could use more depth in the room, what would it be?

I don’t know enough about the top eight receivers on the other 31 NFL teams to compare the Packers’ wideout room. But I can tell you Green Bay will keep as many wideouts as it takes. Looking at the roster, I feel like the positions where you need the most depth are the ones where players rarely come off the field. That may sound counterintuitive, but losing a left tackle, “Mike” linebacker or perimeter cornerback can have dire consequences if you don’t have serviceable options behind them.

I’m most interested in how this offensive line shakes up. The investment in early rounds ( Jordan Morgan and Anthony Belton) makes me think that they expect those guys to be long-term starting-caliber linemen for this team. My uneducated, dream offensive line to start the season would be Zach Tom and Jordan Morgan at LT and RT, Aaron Banks and Belton at LG and RG, and Elgton Jenkins at center. If Sean Rhyan is a depth guard and Belton can play tackle in case of emergency…What happens with Rasheed Walker!? Decisions, decisions….

You’re putting the cheese before the tray, Jason. Walker is still LT1. He’s earned that with how he’s played the past two seasons. All the Packers are saying right now is Morgan will get an opportunity to compete for a starting job at multiple positions. Trying to configure a starting five makes for interesting offseason discussion, but the reality is we’re still four months away from meaningful football.

Insiders, regarding draft host cities, given the success that Green Bay had, I’m of the opinion that cities that have hosted or will host a Super Bowl should be ineligible for the draft. The league needs to prioritize those markets that are too small and/or too cold for the big game for the biggest event of the offseason. That also raises another question, is there a reason the combine is always held in Indy? Why hasn’t the league taken that show on the road as well?

The combine should stay in Indianapolis. The event is more business convention than viewing spectacle. Teams are there to scout talent and do medical evaluations. Indianapolis is a good center bullseye for NFL teams to convene and the city is built perfectly for it. I’m with you as far as the NFL Draft on non-Super Bowl cities getting priority. It’s good for the league and its club partners.

I want to put this question delicately, in deference to the player involved, but do you think Romeo Doubs‘ hiccup last year played a factor in restocking the receiver room? By all accounts, he seems a good guy. I hope that blemish hasn’t changed what people think of him.

Not at all. I think what Brian Gutekunst did was go back to the blueprint for how the Packers draft and develop receivers. Part of that is keeping the pass-catching cupboard stocked at all times. Jordy Nelson was drafted the same year Greg Jennings and Donald Driver had 1,000-yard seasons. Six years later, Davante Adams was drafted the same season Nelson and Randall Cobb had more combined catches, yards and touchdowns than any receiving duo in team history. There was a three-year stretch from 2019-21 where the Packers drafted one receiver (Amari Rodgers) and it had an impact on the offense once Adams was traded.
