Green Bay Packers
GREEN BAY – Even with a six-man 2026 NFL Draft class that tied for the fewest in Green Bay Packers history, the numbers look better.
There’s a difference between quality and quantity. Only time will tell if general manager Brian Gutekunst found studs in this 2026 class, or if he merely padded the depth chart. But it was clear entering the offseason this roster had positions that needed some padding, specifically at cornerback, defensive line and offensive line. Gutekunst did that.
What remains is still a thin backfield behind running back Josh Jacobs, perhaps indicating that’s a position Gutekunst will continue to target in the remainder of this offseason. For now, here’s an updated look at the Packers depth chart following the draft.
Quarterbacks (4)
Jordan Love, Desmond Ridder, Kyle McCord, Kyron Drones (undrafted free agent).
Running backs (6)
Josh Jacobs, MarShawn Lloyd, Chris Brooks, Pierre Strong Jr., Damien Martinez, Jaden Nixon (UDFA).
