Gutekunst wants to maintain 'steady hand' in draft room

GREEN BAY – Time will tell what kind of stamp new Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst puts on his first draft, with the types of players he selects and the trades he decides to make.

But if there’s one way in which he would like to follow the example his predecessor Ted Thompson set, it’s in the realm of demeanor when the pressure is highest.

“His steady hand was something I think the whole room felt,” Gutekunst said on Monday in his pre-draft news conference, three days before the 2018 draft’s first round.
