Packers traded up with the Buccaneers to select Missouri DT Chris McClellan with the No. 77 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

25 April 2026

McClellan (6’4/313) brings an NFL-ready frame with 34-inch arms and massive 11-inch hands, translating to a sturdy interior presence who posted a hyper-efficient 98.1 percent tackle rate with 51 total stops in 2025. His production profile shows steady disruption rather than outright dominance, producing 11 havoc plays, nine tackles for loss and six sacks while generating 20 pressures on 284 pass-rush snaps with a blazing 2.58 time-to-first-pressure. McClellan’s tape aligns with the data, as he wins with extension, heavy hands and the ability to control blocks, consistently holding his ground versus doubles while keeping his run-fit integrity. Where his profile flattens is in pass-rush dynamism, as his below-average agility testing shows up in limited bend, average get-off and a reliance on linear power rather than counters. He can create interior push when his timing is synced, but his hand usage remains inconsistent, leading to stalled rushes when blockers latch on. McClellan projects as a rotational tackle with scheme versatility, offering early-down value as a gap-controlling run defender who can collapse the pocket situationally.
