Packers' Gutekunst Crushing Draft Day

For the NFL, it's March 20th.

Here's what's happening.

Packers fans love to pile on their general manager, Brian Gutekunst, but a new analysis

proves he's been crushing it on draft day.

Over the last four years, from 2022 to 2025, Green Bay tops the NFL in total value from

draft picks, according to Pro.

Football reference metrics, no other team has squeezed more out of their selections.

Last success starts with the 2022 draft, Gutekunst's biggest win.

They made 11 picks, boosted by trading-wide receiver Devonte Adams to the Raiders for

first-rounder and more.

The hall turned into three offensive line starters, two key-wide receivers, and solid defensive

pieces, with eight of those players sticking around, through their Ricky Deals.

Fans set sky-high standards in Green Bay, and while criticism stings, this draft class

shows why.

They filled roster holes fast, kept costs low on rookie contracts, and built a contender

without big free agent splurges.

Fast forward, and that class keeps paying off.

Several players just signed elsewhere, like linebackers and receivers grabbing multi-year

deals worth tens of millions, netting the packers.

Compensatory picks in rounds four, five, and six for 2027.

Others got extensions to stay put.

Overall, it's a blueprint for smart roster building, proving patience with drafts can

fuel long-term success in a capstrap league.
