The 2021 NFL Draft is today and one we can say when thinking about the Packers picks in this year’s draft is this: expect the unexpected.
Since he took over as general manager of the Packers in 2018, Gutekunst has kept draft experts, members of the media and the Packers fan base on their toes by making moves that can easily be described as “unexpected.”
For example, in 2018, Gute traded out of the first round initially, picked up an extra first round pick in 2019 and then traded back up in the first round to select cornerback Jaire Alexander.
