Green Bay Packers 2026 draft picks
Round 2, No. 52 overall: Brandon Cisse, DB, South Carolina
My take: This was the Packers' greatest need. They return the two cornerbacks who started on the outside at the end of last season in Keisean Nixon and Carrington Valentine, and they signed free agent Benjamin St-Juste. Nixon and Valentine, however, are entering the final year of their contracts and might not be re-signed, and St-Juste signed only a two-year deal this offseason. Before the draft, general manager Brian Gutekunst pinpointed cornerback as the team's lightest spot, saying, "That's probably our group, from a numbers perspective, that we're going to need to add the most numbers."
Will he start as a rookie?: If there is a position where a rookie could start from day one, it's cornerback. But it had to be the right cornerback. They needed an outside corner with size, length and speed, and Cisse fits all three. He stands 5-11¾, has arm length of 30¾ and ran a 4.41 40 at his pro day. "Smart, tough, physical corner [with] good foot quickness and can run," Packers area scout Mike Owen said. "There's a lot to like, and he's wired right."
Round 3, No. 77 overall: Chris McClellan, DT, Missouri
