In order to gauge how good of a job Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst has done, you have to frame it with what you value more: patience or parades?
Since taking over in 2018, Gutekunst has operated with a clear philosophy for the Green Bay Packers: draft, develop, extend — and resist the urge to chase headlines in March. In an era where offseason winners are crowned on social media and cap space is treated like Monopoly money, Gutekunst has largely stayed the course.
The results are hard to ignore. Jordan Love, Elgton Jenkins, Christian Watson, Rashan Gary and Zach Tom have all been drafted by Gutekunst and they all earned second contracts with the Packers.
