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 bolster the team’s roster.
Gutekunst emphasized the importance of having ample ammunition to build a competitive team, noting that more picks provide more opportunities to find impact players. The Packers had a successful 2023 season, reaching the playoffs with a young roster that showcased the talent of their rookie class.
With five of the first 91 picks in this year’s draft, the Packers are in a strong position to make moves or stand pat and make selections. Gutekunst highlighted the benefits of competition within the team, stating that the best players will always earn their spots regardless of draft position or salary.
Despite the abundance of youth on the roster, Gutekunst believes that incoming rookies will have a fair chance to compete for playing time. The Packers’ philosophy has always been to field the best players, regardless of their background.
As the draft approaches, the Packers are focused on adding talent to build on their recent success and continue their quest for a championship. With Gutekunst at the helm, Green Bay is poised to make strategic moves to strengthen their roster for the upcoming season.
