When Brian Gutekunst made his first move of the NFL Draft weekend, fans thought this could be an absolute disaster. Read the mentions of Wilde, Nagler, Demovosky from mid-Thursday night, Packers fans were starting to get the pitchforks out. Now on Monday, it’s pretty much agreed that the Packers had one of their best drafts in the last few years. Gutekunst did some big time work and put the Packers into the future. They’ve drafted freak athletes all over the field and started to get guys who can be monsters all over the place.

There are many great things to like from Gutekunst. He has a first round pick from New Orleans that is a Drew Brees injury away from being a top 10 pick. The Packers general manager went the route of Ted Thompson last year with running backs by getting three wide receivers and hoping one or two pan out. I fucking love getting Equanimeous St. Brown from Notre Dame with a sixth round pick. A guy who was supposed to be a third round pick, is 6’5 and has some mild character concerns to deal with which I’m not really worried about. J’Mon Moore and Marquez Valdes-Scantling are both guys who can play a role as well. Aaron Rodgers should be excited.

Same goes for Mike Pettine. He received some defense help early on in this draft with Jaire Alexander and Josh Jackson being the first two picks for the Packers. The fact Green Bay was able to get Jackson in the second round is incredible. Teams didn’t like something about him, but it’s the Packers gain. Jackson can be a ballhawk and an interception machine for this organization. This isn’t 2015 all over again with Randall and Rollins. Both of those guys were projects. These two are ready to play NFL secondary members. Pettine also received a more athletic ILB with Oren Burks who might look nice paired with Blake Martinez.

Gutey did the damn thing. Now let’s get to September.

Charlie.
