Summary
Day two of the 2026 NFL Draft is in the books, and the Green Bay Packers did exactly what they needed to do — fill the two biggest holes on the roster without overthinking it. Ryan breaks down both picks in detail and makes the case that Pack Nation should be sitting somewhere between content and flat-out ecstatic.
- Brandon Cissé, CB, South Carolina — 20 years old, 41-inch vertical, 4.44 speed, elite run support from the perimeter, and a chip on his shoulder that traces back to being passed over in high school. Ryan walks through his PFF profile, his press-man skillset, the "neck down" scouting concern, and why his passion on draft night is rocket fuel for a culture Jonathan Gannon is building.
- Chris McClellan, DT, Missouri — No freakish RAS, no hype train — just a four-year arc of steady improvement, six sacks leading all SEC defensive tackles in 2025, Senior Bowl standout, and the kind of high-motor, scheme-versatile interior piece that quietly makes defenses better. Ryan compares him to Mike Pinnell and breaks down why this is the "just find a player" pick Packer fans have been begging for.
- Day Three Preview — Ryan teases what positions are now truly "best available" and why virtually any pick tomorrow works given the needs already addressed.
Don't miss Day Three — starts at noon. Links dropping on YouTube, Facebook, and Patreon. Pack Nation, this defense is becoming something real.
