Six-Pick Shakeup: Packers Target Corner, Edge, and Kicker With Big Upside in 2026 Draft

Packers Seal a Value-Driven Six-Man 2026 Draft

Green Bay entered the 2026 NFL Draft with eight picks but finished with six—the smallest class of GM Brian Gutekunst’s tenure and the smallest since 2004—after trading up twice and not having a first-rounder tied to the Parsons trade last year. The six selections are CB Brandon Cisse (52), DT Chris McClellan (77), EDGE Dani Dennis-Sutton (120), IOL Jager Burton (153), CB Domani Jackson (201), and K Trey Smack (216). The picks are praised for value and versatility, with Cisse viewed as a potential future CB1, McClellan a versatile front-line contributor, Dennis-Sutton a standout value, Burton a potential interior starter, Jackson a versatile backup/special-teams option, and Smack providing a long-range kicking option to push McManus.

Dennis-Sutton Earns His Right, Heads to Green Bay

Packers selected Penn State edge Dani Dennis‑Sutton in the fourth round (No. 120). He stayed at PSU four years, learning behind first‑round talents Chop Robinson and Abdul Carter before becoming a full‑time starter in 2024, posting double‑digit tackles for loss (13 and 12) and 8.5 sacks in his last two seasons, plus seven forced fumbles and a program‑leading three blocked punts last year. Green Bay cited his development under PSU’s system and his knack for making plays as reasons for the pick, and Dennis‑Sutton looks to seize an opportunity as the Packers rebuild their edge rushers.

Penn State's defense dominated the 2023 Blue-White scrimmage, with sophomore defensive end Dani Dennis-Sutton standing out as a potential star.
