Packers Darnell Savage, Elgton Jenkins earn praise among NFL’s best rookies

Brian Gutekunst’s NFL Drafts have seemingly borne excellent fruit. In two years since taking over as the Green Bay Packers’ general manager, Gutekunst has generally earned significant praise for his drafting.

It appears that his first draft pick, Jaire Alexander, is a huge success. Alexander has the highest coverage grade of any NFL cornerback through four games this season and is living up to his All-Pro prediction before this season. Second-day picks Josh Jackson and Oren Burks have not broken out yet, but both have plenty of time to live up to their lofty draft status.
