[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 876285, member: 12283"] It's too early to give a fair assessment to any of Gutekunst's draft classes. His first, from 2018, is trending in a negative direction overall. But there is a chance for some of the higher picks to salvage the investment this season. His second, from 2019, is trending in a positive direction overall. But there is a chance that players who performed as rookie take a step back. A brigade of idiots armed with pitch forks have already decided that the 2020 class is a failure, but you know... consider the source. If you don't like Gary, that's fine. But if you think that by taking someone else Gute could have a star on his hands, I think you have to look at the class again. Between Gary and Savage, there are exactly zero guys selected who are NFL stars. It's way, way too early to judge that pick relative to other options. Which brings me to a related point: fans expect way too much from rookie classes. Players making big impacts in year one is the exception to the rule. Far more often, the big positive impacts are from guys in their 2nd and 3rd seasons. In house improvement to the Packers' roster is most likely to come from guys like Lazard, MVS, St. Brown, Sternberger, Jenkins, Keke, Gary, Burks, Sullivan, Jackson, Savage, etc. And please note, I am [U][I]not[/I][/U] saying that all those guys are going to be good. I am saying that those are the players at the stage of the development pipeline that guys typically start to make bigger contributions. [/QUOTE]
