Brian Gutekunst enters his fifth draft class as Green Bay Packers general manager.

Overall, his track record in the draft is a good one. He has brought players like Jaire Alexander, Elgton Jenkins, Rashan Gary, and Eric Stokes to Green Bay.

Gutekunst has made a lot of good picks. Some not-so-good ones, too. But it’s hard to argue that he has improved this roster over the years.
