It's April 25th, I'm Corey with the story, this is NFL News Today, driven by AI and Bill for football fans. Packers GM Brian Gutecunds nailed their top needs on day 2 of the draft, grabbing cornerback Brandon Sissy in the second round and trading up for. Defensive tackle Chris McClellan in the third. They stay patient at first, then made a move to lock in long-term starters at those critical spots, leaving no glaring holes heading into Saturday. With Snag McClellan, they ship the fifth round pick to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and jump seven spots in the third round. That drops their day three haul from six to just five selections, but Gutecunds seems cool with a lean class. He straight upset a seven-player draft will be fine, the smallest under his watch, and he's ironed trays to chase the best talent available. The board looks stacked with quality guys, and with needs filled, there's no panic mode. During day three, they've got picks in the fourth at number 120 overall, fifth at 153

from Philly, sixth at 201 and two, sevenths at 236 and 255. Depth of the offensive line could be next, plus back-up competition at quarterback and running back, or even doubling down a corner or tackle. Gutecunds playing it smart, keeping options wide open for whatever shakes out on day three Packers fans, this drafts shaping up smooth.
