Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst gambled last offseason at cornerback, which is a premium position in the NFL. That risk ultimately backfired and cost the team over the course of the season. Now, Gutekunst must address the cornerback position this offseason although he lacks a first round pick and much cap space to do it.
Last offseason, the Packers knew they would likely part ways with former top cover corner Jaire Alexander. They tried to trade Alexander but found no takers and eventually released the former first round pick.
In the draft, Gutekunst failed to address the cornerback position until the seventh and final round.
