I’ve somehow managed to be utterly surprised by each one of Packers’ first round picks in the Brian Gutekunst era. Jaire Alexander was too short. Twitter people said Rashan Gary had bad tape. Darnell Savage and Eric Stokes were mocked in the third round. Jordan Love was a quarterback. I’m sure there were plenty of…
Last week’s trade of Davante Adams for a few draft picks totally resets pre-draft speculation for the Packers blogosphere.
