GREEN BAY — Having spent his formative years in scouting working for Pro Football Hall of Fame general manager Ron Wolf — a talent evaluator who put an annual premium on quarterbacks in the NFL draft — Brian Gutekunst’s view of investing in the position might be something of a throwback.
That might explain why the Green Bay Packers GM insisted this week he had no regrets about trading up in last April’s NFL draft to pick Utah State quarterback Jordan Love, whose selection set off the chain reaction that left Gutekunst and coach Matt LaFleur answering a barrage of questions on Monday about the future of their starting quarterback, soon-to-be three-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers.
