Brian Gutekunst has put together six draft classes as Green Bay Packers general manager. We've ranked every single pick.

It's hard to believe Brian Gutekunst has been running the show for six years. He's made some great picks in the draft, some bad. He took a playoff-less Green Bay Packers team and made them regular contenders.

Gutekunst's legacy will be defined by the Jordan Love pick, one that effectively forced Aaron Rodgers out the door three years later. How Love performs as the new starting quarterback, and also Rodgers for the New York Jets, will determine whether Gutekunst made the right call.

Over the past six years, Gutekunst has made a total of 61 draft picks. That's a good sample size to look at.

We've ranked every one of his selections.

Packers: Ranking every Brian Gutekunst draft pick from worst to best

61. OL Simon Stepaniak

We had to start somewhere. Stepaniak was one of three offensive linemen drafted by the Packers in 2020. He never played a game for Green Bay and retired in 2021.

60. EDGE Kendall Donnerson

A seventh-round pick in 2018, Donnerson spent his first season on the Packers' practice squad. He never played a game in Green Bay.

59. EDGE James Looney

Looney played 28 snaps in his rookie season with the Packers, but he was waived the following summer and has been out of the league since.

58. RB Dexter Williams

Williams made seven carries for 19 yards over two seasons. He would end up on five different teams before joining the USFL.

57. OL Cole Madison

Madison sat out of his rookie season due to a personal issue. He returned in 2019, but was inactive all year before suffering a torn ACL in practice.

56. QB Sean Clifford

Clifford will likely back up Jordan Love this season, but it's surprising the Packers drafted him as high as they did, as many analysts believed he would've been available later on. Clifford might need to win the job over the summer.

55. RB Kylin Hill

Hill showed promise during training camp but didn't get many opportunities in the regular season. The Packers released him in 2022, which Matt LaFleur said was to do with off-field reasons rather than performance.

54. K Anders Carlson

Carlson will get an opportunity to win the kicking job this summer. He could be Mason Crosby's replacement, but he has to prove himself.

53. LS Hunter Bradley

Bradley was the Packers' long snapper for four seasons, playing in 56 games during that time.

52. DL Jonathan Ford

Ford was a seventh-round pick last year. He made the 53-man roster but was inactive all season. He's a player to watch this summer.
