Green Bay Packers GM Brian Gutekunst Looks to Add More Picks in NFL Draft

The Green Bay Packers are gearing up for the upcoming NFL draft with a league-leading 11 selections. General manager Brian Gutekunst expressed his desire to add even more picks to their arsenal, emphasizing the importance of competition in every room.

Last season, the Packers made waves with a young and talented roster, becoming the fourth-youngest team to reach the playoffs and the youngest to win a playoff game since the NFL-AFL merger. Their rookie class made significant contributions, with players like Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shining on the field.

With five picks in the first 91 selections this year, thanks to trades involving Aaron Rodgers and Rasul Douglas, the Packers are in a prime position to add more talent to their roster. Gutekunst highlighted the benefits of having more draft picks, stating that “more at-bats” increase the chances of finding impactful players.

Despite the abundance of youth on the team, Gutekunst remains confident that the best players will earn their spots on the roster, regardless of draft position or salary. The Packers prioritize competition and believe it accelerates the growth of the team.

As the draft approaches, all eyes will be on the Packers and their strategy to build on last season’s success. With a strong foundation in place, Green Bay is poised to make some impactful moves in the upcoming draft.
