They have gotten several "A" grades from various "grade the draft" sites. It appears the powers that be think we've gotten some great DB's and a Linebacker who can run, and three very big, fast toys for AR12 to try.
It gets an A in my homer-ass world. Loving what we ended up with at CB, Burks and Madison look like definite keepers, and I can easily see all 3 WR’s making the 53 (or okay maybe one of them to the PS).
Nice job Gute! I’m on board.

Here’s one for Rd 2: Equanimeous St.Brown, WR Norte Dame.
6’5” and ran a 4.48. Walter has him ranked #3 for WR prospects behind Calvin Ridley and Courtland Sutton.

Well, I think the new Goot did pretty goot. We got some CBs and good value guys at that, a LB with speed everyone on this board wanted, some burners at WR, etc. I almost even like the punter move, although he could have been had in the next round. Our STs were up and down; it's hard to flip the field consistently when the punter doesn't have a strong leg or is erratic. And in tough games you're looking for a guy who can make the other team go 90 yards. The LS is my only question mark. Yes, our guy is getting up there, but an LS in the draft? Maybe the kid can play on the line somewhere else as well. All in all, I like what Goot did and am looking forward to his next moves...
Just discussing on the radio how horrible this draft was. TT was rightfully criticized for his later poor drafts and Gutey's first one really wasn't any better.
ammo posted:According to Fansided the Packers had the #1 draft class this year.
1. Green Bay Packers
Green Bay general manager Brian Gutekunst ran his first draft, and what a job he did. In the first round, the Packers traded back with the New Orleans Saints to acquire a 2019 first-round pick, then moved back up to land corner Jaire Alexander. Not satisfied, Gutekunst again went with a corner in the second round, getting tremendous value in Josh Jackson.
The Packers know they have a limited window to win a Super Bowl with Aaron Rodgers getting up there in age, and Gutekunst took full advantage of the draft.
Fansided looks to be spot on.....
How so? Jackson is looking every bit the bust so far. 23 was the only guy that saw significant snaps the last 2 years.

It was meant as a sarcastic post. Obviously anyone reading the Fansided item could only come to the conclusion that they like most sites are shooting from the hip. And missing. #1 draft of the year?
