• The Packers finished with six selections in the 2026 NFL Draft, focusing on defense and offensive line depth, with picks in rounds 2, 3, 4, 5 (two picks), and 6 (one pick). This aligns with ongoing roster shaping after trades and free agency moves in the prior offseason.[1][3]
• Notable picks include Brandon Cisse (CB, South Carolina) in the 2nd round, Chris McClellan (DT, Missouri) in the 3rd, Dani Dennis-Sutton (EDGE, Penn State) in the 4th, Jager Burton (C, Kentucky) in the 5th, and Trey Smack (K, Florida) in the 6th. These selections were highlighted by multiple outlets as addressing depth issues at cornerback, interior DL, edge, and special-teams/competition at kicker.[2][1]
