Packers Close to Consensus in 2026 Draft Despite a Few Reaches

Using Arif Hasan’s consensus board (134 big boards), Green Bay’s six 2026 picks mostly tracked value: Brandon Cisse at 52 yielded +8, Dani Dennis-Sutton at 120 yielded +48, while Chris McClellan at 77 (-31), Jager Burton at 153 (-23), Domani Jackson at 201 (-10) and Trey Smack at 216 (-136) were more off the consensus. Overall four of six were “reaches,” but the top pick and the Dennis-Sutton swing kept the class near chalk; the kicker pick is an outlier and undrafted free agents add upside. Overall, the Packers ended up close to consensus value for the draft.
