SI Slams the Packers draft

Grade: D​

  • Round 2: No. 52: Brandon Cisse, CB, South Carolina
  • Round 3: No. 77: Chris McClellan, DT, Missouri
  • Round 4: No. 120: Dani Dennis-Sutton, edge, Penn State
  • Round 5: No. 153: Jager Burton, C, Kentucky
  • Round 6: No. 201: Domani Jackson, CB, Alabama
  • Round 6: No. 216: Trey Smack, K, Florida
Analysis: Cornerbacks from the first and second tiers had already been selected by the time the Packers went on the clock. Still, the team landed a cornerback with plenty of upside in Cisse. The problem, though, is that he’s a raw prospect who will likely need time to develop, and the Packers aren’t in a position to be patient with a roster that needs to win now. Green Bay also waited a long time to address the holes on its offensive line, selecting Burton to potentially replace the departed Elgton Jenkins. Maybe the Packers’ front office thinks it has an eye for gems, because it doesn’t appear this team acquired immediate help in this class. Green Bay ended the draft by adding Smack to compete with veteran kicker Brandon McManus, who missed kicks in crucial moments last season.
