With less than 20 first round grades typical in many drafts...the target if you will gets bigger but that "bullseye" for a hit gets more elusive. There for sure are going to be good players there when GB picks...and more than not Gute has been able to identify and draft NFL caliber guys...ranging from Wyatt to Savage to Stokes...all are NFL caliber guys...the issue is that phrase "first rounder" gets a lot of folks hung up and holds it against GMs often and will always make folks hold it against guys like Quay or Savage who just drafted on Day2 likely would be considered steals to a degree (this is fair btw...not saying it isn't). There will ALWAYS be in every single draft a handful of second rounders that hindsight illustrates should have been drafted before guys from 20-32nd in the first. Folks just simply fail to admit hindsight drives 90% of their criticism usually.</blockquote>
