Where \"Draft and Develop\" isn't just a philosophy...it's a way of life.
Do you remember the name Russell Maryland? Green Bay Packers fans of a certain age should. Maryland had a 10-year NFL career during the 1990s, one that concluded after the 2000 season, which he spent playing for the Green Bay Packers. Maryland started his career out as the #1 overall pick in the 1991 NFL […]
The Green Bay Packers aren’t huge spenders in undrafted free agency (yes, guaranteed money is a major factor for signing top players), but they do pick their spots at times. Whatever they’re doing is right, though, as the team has had an undrafted rookie make the team for 21 consecutive years. Who will it be […]
The Green Bay Packers tried to keep their interest in athletic quarterback Kyron Drones under wraps leading up to the 2026 NFL Draft.

The Green Bay Packers entered the 2026 NFL Draft with eight draft picks.

However, […]
The Green Bay Packers selected cornerback Domani Jackson earlier in the sixth round, but that wasn’t enough for general manager Brian Gutekunst.

The Green Bay Packers hit the cornerback position twice in the 2026 draft, starting with their second-round selection of Brandon Cisse of South Carolina and then doubling down with the drafting of Alabama cornerback Domani Jackson in the sixth round.

In the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, the Green Bay Packers took a big center in Kentucky’s Jager Burton, who measured in over 6’4” and 312 pounds at the NFL combine earlier this year. On top of breaking the 5-second mark in the 40-yard dash, Burton also ran a 4.52-second short shuttle and […]
The Green Bay Packers sent a lightning bolt through their fan base early on Saturday. They sat comfortably with the 20th selection of the 4th round, letting the board come to them, and then they struck: general manager Brian Gutekunst delivered a card to the NFL office with the name Dani Dennis-Sutton on it. For […]
The Green Bay Packers selected Dani Dennis-Sutton, an edge rusher from Penn State, with the 120th overall pick in the 2026 draft.

The 2026 NFL Draft is here, and the 32 teams are welcoming another rookie crop that can shake up the league. The draft also means finalizing past trades that included future draft picks. A big one was the August 2025 trade that sent Micah Parsons from the Dallas Cowboys to the Green Bay Packers. Let’s […]
On day two of the 2026 NFL Draft, the Green Bay Packers addressed two of the most concerning positions on their roster.

When the Green Bay Packers traded up from the 84th to the 77th pick of the 2026 NFL Draft, fans were poised for an exciting moment, hoping that the team would find a game-breaking prospect with their accelerated third-round pick.

After Friday’s selections, Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst admitted that the team tried to trade back into the end of the third round to make another draft choice. “We took some cracks at getting back at the bottom of the third round,” said Gutekunst, who doesn’t believe that the Packers need to “make […]
By now, you probably know the story about Tennessee cornerback Jermod McCoy, who is dealing with a bone plug issue that is leading to his fall in the draft.

The Green Bay Packers have made their first pick of the 2026 NFL Draft, selecting cornerback Brandon Cisse out of South Carolina.

The Green Bay Packers drafted South Carolina cornerback Brandon Cisse with the 52nd overall pick in the 2026 class, their first draft choice this year after trading their first-round pick as part of the Micah Parsons trade.
