GREEN BAY, Wis. – Brian Gutekunst was a college scout assigned to the East Coast in 1999 when he watched his boss, then Green Bay Packers general manager Ron Wolf, use his first three draft picks on cornerbacks in part because he saw the problems that Minnesota Vikings receiver Randy Moss gave his team as a rookie the previous season.
Gutekunst was the director of college scouting in 2012 when his boss Ted Thompson used his first six draft picks on defensive players after the GM watched his defense finish last in the NFL in defense despite the Packers’ 15-1 record.
