Packers GM here to win (and win now) even without Khalil Mack

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- When Brian Gutekunst maneuvered through his first draft as general manager and landed not only one of the highest-rated cornerbacks in Jaire Alexander but also walked away with another first-round pick in 2019, his boss lauded him for his savvy.

"He handled it like a seasoned veteran," Green Bay Packers president Mark Murphy said after the draft.

That extra first-round pick, acquired from the New Orleans Saints, no doubt would come in handy.
