Packers GM Gutekunst covers many topics heading into NFL Draft

(LEARFIELD) – Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst covered a lot of topics when he met with the media heading into the NFL Draft which begins tonight at Lambeau Field.

Among the topics, what its like when a team trades up in front of them?

Gutekunst also talked about using the draft to double down on certain positions after signing those spots in free agency.

Once the draft is over on Saturday, the attention will turn to the process of bringing in undrafted free agents and giving them a chance to compete.

One area they’ll debate in the room is instinct because you can’t test that.

Does Gutekunst ever have one of those moments of uncertainty in making a draft decision?

Gutekunst said that they try to find players that really love to play and that’s not the way with everyone.

How does college money change things in the NFL?

Gutekunst said that you have to try to figure out if guys have the burning desire to be the best they can be for a long time.

The Packers have the 23rd pick in the first round of the NFL Draft.
