Packers' Gutekunst Pads Trenches, Eyes RB Upgrades

0:00It's April 27. This is NFL News Today, powered by AI, Your Gridiron Update. I'm Cory with the story. Packer's GM Brian Gutekunst went with a lean 6-man draft class in 2026, tying the fewest and team history, but he targeted real needs. Like cornerback, defensive line and offensive line, to bulk up the roster. Earlier this week, that small hall added depth without overhauling the core, bringing in guys like second-round corner Brandon Ceci, third-round, defensive tackle, Chris McClellan, and fifth-round picks at corner and center. Fans are buzzing about the upgrades, especially with free agents like Javan Hargrave on the D-line and Michael Parsons anchoring the edge rushers, while the backfield stays thin behind Josh Jacobs with just five others. New looks at the depth chart show, 10 wide receivers led by Christian Watson and Jaden Reed. Jaden tied ends with Tucker Kraft and Luke Musgrave, and eight corners including Casey and Nixon
