Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst stayed put as six wide receivers came off the board before his team was ever even on the clock. Sure, Gutekunst could have used the 22nd and 28th overall picks to move up and select his most desired receiver, but instead, he let the board come to him.
“We worked through some scenarios, and there were some conversations, but at the end of the day, we have four picks in these first two rounds and felt really good about sitting and picking,” said Gutekunst. “We certainly explored some options, and there was a little run on receivers, and once that happened, we thought we would stay and pick.”
And with those two first-round picks, the Packers strengthened their defense. First, they added Georgia linebacker Quay Walker and then his teammate Devonte Wyatt, an extremely explosive defensive tackle.
