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.

I don't want to hear about teams in LA or San Francisco. And I definitely don't want to hear about those damn Cowboys! Those midwest teams in the NFL include: Kansas City Chiefs, Minnesota Vikings, Green Bay Packers, Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions, Indianapolis Colts, Cincinnati Bengals, & Cleveland Browns. What do the Chiefs need to do after losing the superbowl? Do the Vikings sign Sam Darnold or roll with JJ McCarthy? Do the Packers make a trade offer for Myles Garrett?  Can the Bears sign some o-linemen to give Caleb Williams enough time to throw the ball? If the Lions stays healthy, how far can they go in the post season? Is Anthony Richardson the answer at QB for the Colts? Can the Bengals get some help on defense? What do the Browns do with Deshaun Watson? Are they really going to trade My...

The LA Clippers beat down the Denver Nuggets last night to take a 2-1 lead in their series. The Clippers were better than the Nuggets in almost ever statistical category which showed since they won by 34 points.  Nikola Jokic had a triple double, but only scored 23 points which is below his season average of almost 30 points per game. Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon both score in double digits, but the rest of team didn't help too much.  Denver and LA were 2-2 in the 4 games they played against each other this year.

The Denver Nuggets may be the team that can take out the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Nuggets did bring the Thunder to seven games in the Western Conference Semifinals this past post season.  They resigned Bruce Brown, signed Tim Hardaway Jr., Aaron Gordon will be healthy heading into the season, and Nikola Jokic will be a top three MVP player. Losing out on Jonas Valanciunas sucks, but maybe they'll be able to sign Bradley Beal if he becomes available?
