Amidst a busy weekend (to say the least), Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst sounds happy with how the 2021 NFL Draft panned out, pointing to several “big moments” that shaped what turned out to be this year’s crop of Packers rookies.
Handling his fourth draft as the Packers’ general manager, Gutekunst told reporters Saturday he went into the draft hoping to target offensive linemen and cornerbacks. If that was the goal, he succeeded; the Packers added three offensive linemen and two corners over the course of the draft.
Though it may come too late to appease Aaron Rodgers, Gutekunst also was happy to add a wide receiver, and named the selection of Amari Rodgers in the third round as one of the best moments of his 2021 draft.
