Ryan's back and loaded with takes on this episode of the Packernet Podcast. From new jersey number reveals — including Brandon C'Saye rocking #2 and Javon Bullard's switch to #7 — to the bombshell report that 21 of 32 NFL teams want to eliminate the seventh round of the draft, this one covers a LOT of ground.
