Gut traded 2015 #1 pick Randall for peanuts before he got used to his new GM's chair.

#2 pick Rollins is, after the selections of Alexander & Jackson and signings of House and TWill, at best the #6 CB. Bye Q.

#4 pick Ryan's replacement was just drafted in round 3.

#5 pick Hundley will undoubtedly be replaced by the peanuts (Kizer) Gut picked up by trading Randall.

I guess #3 pick Ty is still around to be the #3 RB (behind Jones and Williams), at least until he gets injured.

I wonder what Gut really thinks about that 2015 draft?

I know I probably shouldn't even engage this but what the hell.

Just so everyone is clear...The "peanuts" that Gute got for Randall is a LB'er that runs 4.59 in the 3rd round, An OL (Cole Madison) in the 5th round that will probably start in September & a high 2nd round QB that can learn from Rodgers.

That's 3 players for 1 loudmouth not very smert DB that plays the run like my 97 year old grandmother.

Just so we're clear on the definition of "peanuts"

"Four years into a draft class is usually the sweet spot, when development hits an apex and the cream rises to the top, and the financial motivation of a contract year kicks in. The Packers wonโ€™t get that boost in 2018, not with seven of the eight members of the 2015 draft class either playing elsewhere, hurt or out of the league."

You buried the lede from the article.

"First-year GM Brian GUTENKUST has essentially GUTTED what was left of THE Green Bay Packersโ€™ highly disappointing 2015 DRAFT CLASS."

The author Zach Kruse was obviously cruising this site and filed the thread topic away for future use.

Complain all you want about the 2015 draft class, but those guys did help the Packers make the 2016 NFL Championship game.  They must have played well sometimes. 

That team might have been competitive in that game had they gotten more from that class. Rollins and Randall were part of a secondary that was toasted. Ripkowski fumbled in the first half carrying the ball when they were driving for a TD.

The article below is discussing "no disconnect between Gruden & McKenzie"  seems Oakland also had difficulty finding quality football players in '15, '16 & 17.

"Obviously, the last three draft classes we haven't got a lot of production out of yet. I don't think there's anybody left from the โ€˜13 draft. The โ€˜15, โ€˜16, โ€˜17 drafts, not much production at all."

Hmm.....I wonder why that is?
