Summary
- Packers drafted seven players, led by CB Brandon Cisse in Round 2.
- Key additions include DL Chris McClellan and edge rusher Dani Dennis-Sutton.
- The team is actively seeking undrafted free agents post-draft.
The Green Bay Packers demonstrated strategic acumen during the 2026 NFL Draft, successfully adding seven players to their roster without a first-round selection. Their most prominent acquisition was South Carolina cornerback Brandon Cisse, whom they drafted with the 52nd overall pick in the second round.
Further strengthening the team, the Packers selected Missouri defensive tackle Chris McClellan in the third round, followed by Penn State edge rusher Dani Dennis-Sutton in the fourth. They continued to build depth by picking Kentucky offensive lineman Jager Burton in the fifth round and adding cornerback Domani Jackson and kicker Trey Smack from Alabama and Florida, respectively, in the sixth round.
