GREEN BAY (WBAY)- Count former Packers assistant and NFL head coach Steve Mariucci among those who believe the gap between the Packers and 49ers is wider after the draft, and it was already pretty wide last season.
The NFL Network analyst was a guest for an online class Monday at St. Norbert College. He was asked about the Packers recent draft, which included taking developmental quarterback Jordan Love in the first round. For Mariucci, that first round alone was enough to widen the gap, even before factoring in the entire draft class.
“My point was that the 49ers, who beat them twice, and I coached for both teams, they got better,” Mariucci said.
