Reflecting on the Packers’ draft after a couple of months, and with OTAs and mini-camp complete, I remain enthusiastic about Green Bay’s chances this season. Some players will hit and others won’t, injuries are a constant X-factor, and we need to see whether Love means Gutekunst never has to say he’s sorry. But the direction this class represents — especially on offense — is what I’ve been hoping to see.
It’s clear that Matt LaFleur told Gute how he intends to evolve the post-Rodgers offense, and the GM obliged with a fit-for-purpose draft class that not only has intriguing prospects, but better aligns personnel and scheme.
