Is Gutekunst Off His Rocker?
Since I don’t pay a lot of attention to all that pre-draft hype that floats around, I’m not going to try to rate the abilities of the two newest members of the Packers. My focus has always been on which positions should be pursued.
The selection of an edge rusher, at # 12 strikes me as inexplicable. We just invested about $150 million in two free agent edge rushers. Both are still young, and both signed on for four years. When I was advocating going after first-rounders, at whatever position, who could be instant starters, I thought that had become pretty conventional wisdom around the league. Maybe in most places, but not in Green Bay.
