Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst says he didn’t pick any wide receivers in last weekend’s draft because the class wasn’t as deep as many experts said.
Gutekunst wrapped up the virtual draft by picking six players in rounds five-through-seven Saturday.
2020 NFL Draft Picks/Green Bay:
Rd 1- QB Jordan Love, Utah State

Packers coach Matt LaFleur says he has no concerns about Aaron Rodgers’ reaction to the draft, calling him a “pro” and the “best ever to play the game.”
LaFleur and Gutekunst say they both have talked to Rodgers after selecting Utah State’s Jordan Love in the first round.
LaFleur says he hopes Rodgers plays until he decides he doesn’t want to play anymore.
He says Rodgers will be a great mentor for the rookie Love.
