Packers GM Brian Gutekunst Has Never Had This Much Ammunition Entering the NFL Draft

The Green Bay Packers have four of the first 59 picks in the 2022 NFL Draft. Since becoming GM of the Packers in 2018, Brian Gutekunst has never had that many early round picks at his disposal.

One thing we know about Gute is he has a history of both trading up and trading down to get the players he covets in the draft. In three of his first four drafts, he has made a trade in the first round of the draft, sometimes trading up and down in the same year.

In 2018, Gutekunst started with the 14th overall selection but made a trade with the Saints that moved Green Bay back to 27th in the draft but gave the Packers an extra first-round pick in 2019.
