Thursday Cheese Curds: Two weeks until the 2026 NFL Draft
We’re getting right down to it.
Nadine and Matthias Kruas frolic before the start of the first round of the NFL Draft Thursday, April 24, 2025 in Green Bay, Wisconsin. It is the first time the draft will be held in Green Bay, the smallest market in the National Football League. They are from Bavaria, Germany.

As soon as the NFL Combine is over and done with and I’ve had a chance to digest the results, I’m ready to get on to the main event. Nobody cares what my takes on draft picks are (though I’m happy to supply them — aren’t we all? ), and at the end of the day, I’m just some guy.
