PACKERS DEFENSE

Brian Gutekunst was the Director of Player Personnel from 2016 - 2017. He has held the title of General Manager since 2018 for the Packers. 

Many fans have expressed frustration with Gutekunst's lack of moves throughout free agency. He says he wants to build through the draft, but if you look at all the draft picks on the defensive side of the ball since 2016 it has not led to very many pro bowlers or game wreckers. 

If you got back  to 2016 the best defensive players drafted have arguably been defensive tackles, Kenny Clark and Rashan Gary. When corner, Jaire Alexander is healthy you could make the argument he's the best defensive player drafted in the last 10 years by the Packers. 

My point is Gutekunst doesn't want to pay premium free agents and says he wants to build through the draft, but he has missed on 10 years worth of defensive picks. If Aaron Rodgers had the defenses that Tom Brady had in New England, he would have won more than one superbowl for the green and gold. Gutekunst better draft some play makers on the defensive side of the ball this year and hit on a couple of them.
