Is Brian Gutekunst Really Any Good At Drafting?

Brian Gutekunst started his first draft as Packers GM on fire. He traded down in the 1st round with the Saints in exchange for another 1st round pick the following year, then moved up to take Jaire Alexander (the best cornerback in the NFL).

It was the biggest steal the Packers scored by trading a draft pick since Brett Favre.

In his second draft, Gutekunst traded up with the Saints pick to take Darnell Savage (who has been a starter since Day 1) after grabbing Rashan Gary (who looks like a breakout player) earlier in the round.
