Packers Draft: Cisse, McClellan, Dennis-Sutton, Burton
Description
The Green Bay Packers, after trading away their first-round pick, made six strategic selections in the 2026 NFL Draft. They started with South Carolina cornerback Brandon Cisse in the second round, addressing a weak spot in their defense. Brian Gutekunst traded up in the third and fourth rounds for Missouri defensive tackle Chris McClellan and Penn State edge rusher Dani Dennis-Sutton, respectively. In the fifth round, they added Kentuckys Jager Burton for offensive line depth. The Packers also picked up Alabama corner Domani Jackson and Florida kicker Trey Smack in the later rounds, providing competition for their current roster. The draft class is expected to contribute significantly this season, particularly on defense, with McClellan and Cisse potentially starting and Dennis-Sutton showing upside. The offense remains mostly unchanged, with Burton currently slated as the third-string center. The Packers also signed several undrafted free agents, setting the stage for a competitive training camp.
