Every NFL team has a ‘type’ that they typically target in the NFL Draft, and the Green Bay Packers are no different. With the 2022 NFL Draft right around the corner, it is time to narrow down the likely targets of GM Brian Gutekunst and the front office.
More often than not, Gutekunst tends to lean towards players with high Relative Athletic Scores (RAS) and players that are 22 years old or younger. Dating back to 2018 (Gutekunst’s first draft as GM), these metrics have been very evident and have resulted in great results.
Jaire Alexander (2018), Rashan Gary and Darnell Savage (2019), Jordan Love (2020), and Eric Stokes (2021) are the five 1st-rounders that Gutekunst has selected, and all have fit into one or both of the listed criteria.
