Overview
- The Packers sent picks No. 84 and No. 160 to the Buccaneers to move to No. 77 and select Missouri defensive tackle Chris McClellan.
- Milt Hendrickson said the team targeted McClellan for his versatility, noting he can play nose tackle or three-technique in Green Bay’s evolving front.
- McClellan brings a 6-foot-4, 313-pound frame with 34-inch arms and 11-inch hands, and he surged in 2025 with six sacks, eight tackles for loss, six hurries, and 48 tackles.
- Green Bay is addressing the interior line as Javon Hargrave approaches age 33 and Devonte Wyatt plays on a fifth-year option, with McClellan expected to help against the run early.
- Draft analysts praise his size and strength but flag high pad level, inconsistent hand usage, and an average first step, projecting an early rotational role with room to grow into a three-down contributor.
