Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said this week that he needed to boost the team's cornerback depth.
He did just that Friday by selecting South Carolina’s Brandon Cisse with the Packers' opening pick in the NFL draft.
Green Bay didn't have a first-round pick and chose Cisse in the second round at No. 52 overall.
This marked the latest that Green Bay has ever made its opening pick in a draft.
The Packers had sent their 2026 and 2027 first-round picks to Dallas last August as part of the trade that brought Micah Parsons to Green Bay.
