Poor Ryan Kerrigan. Dudes been balling for what seems like 24 years now and you never hear about him. I'd be glad to trade for him

I wound up at a SB party with him during the Panthers / Broncos game.

Suuuuuper nice dude. He thought I was stoned because I was too intimidated to talk to him and all I did was eat food.

Gute sat down with Larry McCarren for some questions and answers.  Not a ton here, but some of Gute's thoughts on where he thinks the Packers are going.

  • Learned a lot in first year as GM
  • Injuries no excuse; good opportunity for depth players
  • Casting a wide net in coaching search
  • Character, expertise important for new coach
  • Quality of player more important than scheme fit
  • Believes the Packers are "really close" to competing
  • Some tough decisions will have to be made regarding veterans
  • They will be active in free agency

I also watched the one with Breeland. Interesting that he was only active for 4 games, but had 3 take aways. Need to bring that guy back.

Breeland is solid.  He did get his share of penalties though.  If we can get him back that would be great.  His price just went up though.  King, Alexander, Jackson, and Brown.  Brown is pretty solid in his own right.  Really high on that kid.  Plays good tight coverage and also has attitude.  Guess if we bring back Breeland he'd currently be #3 in the pecking order.  Jackson was a bit of a disappointment last season.  Hope the kid gains confidence and the light goes on for him next year.  If it doesn't work out and CB he'd make a fine S.  He might be better suited for that position anyway.  We'll see.

Mark Murphy too some questions from fans .. not much new, but some info about their search committee and why they chose not to use a search firm.  They are relying heavily on the NFL's advisory list of recommended coaches.

The fact we are not using a search firm should not worry us so much. Wolf in fact is a strong believer of the approach Murphy and Gute is taking.

Quote

Wolf said he would never rely on a head-hunter such as Jed Hughes of Korn Ferry to help in the search. The executive committee used Hughes to identify Murphy and Murphy used him to help identify GM candidates after Ted Thompson was stripped of his duties.

“You have to do it yourself, “Wolf said. “It’s on you.”

Comp picks for 2019 are being projected - here's a link to OTC with their predictions

https://overthecap.com/projecting-the-2019-compensatory-picks/

No comp picks for the Packers ? No worries.
Even if the Saints win the SB, Gute still got more value out of that extra 1st than (5) 3rd rounders combined
An "extra"  1st is a HUGE win
 

i remember when the comp picks announcement used to be the highlight of the offseason
