Brian Gutekunst is working through his eighth offseason of team building. While the Green Bay Packers have remained successful, some trends are emerging. Among these is how well Gutekunst has been at adding key free agents in the offseason. The inverse of that is how poor he has been at adding talent through the second day of the NFL Draft.
