Gutekunst putting his stamp on his first draft

There you have Day 2 of the 2018 NFL Draft for the Packers and General Manager Brian Gutekunst, who added two more defensive players Friday to go with first-round selection Jaire Alexander the previous evening.

Jackson, a player many mock drafts had going to the Packers in the first round at No. 14 overall, was chosen at No. 45 in the second round and will join Alexander in the cornerback room as another promising playmaker.

The first-year Iowa starter took the Big Ten by storm in 2017, leading the country with eight interceptions, including five against the two teams – Ohio State and Wisconsin – who played for the league title.
