The Packers first-round pick will be a legitimate mystery until it’s sent in and possible for days after. Brian Gutekunst has some first-round tendencies, sure, but he also drafts players shorter than we expected, older than we expected, lower on the consensus board than we expected, at a position we didn’t expect, and he even…
