There are 22 starters and 2 kickers. It's reasonable to assume the average starter goes 6 years so a GM needs to find 4 starters per year on average. If you take a look at most Super Bowl winning teams, they have 6-8 pro bowlers/all pro with 1-3 HOF players of those 6-8 elite players. In other words, if you want to win a Super Bowl, out of those 4 starters per year, one needs to be a pro bowler and every 2-5 years, the GM needs to land a HOF caliber player. Gute has drafted 3 pro Bowl/all pro players but also acquired 2 more in trades or free agency- Parsons and Xavier. That's 5 elite players in 8 years. I also think Kraft belongs on thst list and Cooper has the talent but unfortunately has regressed this year. Zach Tom will make a pro bowl soon if not this year.Gute has come close the hitting the high bar that's set. 6 elite players in 8 years with 2 more more in Tom and Cooper with elite potential.  Gute has his flaws but by that fair evaluation has come very close to be a GM capable of putting together a Super Bowl roster.Yet, the Packers have been largely embarrassing in the playoffs. They come up short in big games! I would say it's fair to say that MLF has underperformed and let Gute down.</blockquote>
