[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 960217, member: 12283"] This article aside, the early returns (year 5 is still early for a GM) have been really positive for Gutekunst. He could stand to improve his hit rate a bit further down the draft, but fan perception is skewed on that because very few people are properly calibrated in their expectations. What I mean is that drafting impact players after the 3rd round becomes exceedingly rare. Getting starters like MVS and Runyan on day 3 is pretty solid work in that range. He's had a good track record so far at the top of the draft. It appears that he's drafted 7 impact players in the top 100 from 2018-2021. And that's even considering that he spent one of his 1st round picks on a QB who he thought he was going to need. He got rid of one of the most overrated coaches in the league and replaced him with one of the best young offensive minds in football. LaFleur doesn't get credit because he has Rodgers, but his three year stretch of 39-10 is the best in Packers' history, with Rodgers or otherwise. He navigated all the Rodgers craziness and managed to get him back in the building and content despite Adams not wishing to return. He's made the moves to keep the top talent on the roster, except in the case of Adams, who wanted to leave, for whom he got a 1st and 2nd round pick. He's facilitated the necessary coordinator adjustments. And his instincts for pro acquisitions have been outstanding, both at the high end (Za'Darius Smith, Preston Smith, Adrian Amos, Billy Turner) and low end (De'Vondre Campbell, Rasul Douglas, Allen Lazard). Honestly, the one blotch on his record is the move for Jordan Love. And that was a mistake, but fans are completely unfair in how they assess it. They act as though Rodgers was an MVP coming into that draft. In reality he appeared to be on the decline, statistically. He hadn't hit a 100 passing rating for three straight seasons, and hadn't been above 110 for five seasons. Had he continued playing at that level, it would have made sense to replace him. [/QUOTE]
