It’s political season across the country.
So, of course, that means half-truths are coming at a fevered pitch.
As far as we know, Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst has no designs on political office when his football days expire. But Gutekunst has duplicity down to a science himself.
Gutekunst has always used the term “best player available” when discussing his approach to drafting. And maybe he did exactly that Friday.
Or, perhaps he stretched the truth a bit to take players that will fill immediate holes.
The Packers’ greatest needs entering draft weekend were offensive line, linebacker, safety, cornerback and running back.
