Gutes first draft with Alexander gets a B
His second draft with Gary/Savage/Elgton/Keke looks like an A- in the making
His third draft has a high upside QB and some decent rookie production after that. It has a chance of being a likely B- type draft


Early in Gutes tenure, he’s drafted some star players and some good contributors. Early signs are that he’s a B level GM. The question is, with a little time in the job and with some continuity with his assembled staff, can he rise to a level higher than solid. We want a championship, not playoff runs. Does he have it in him to take the next step.

Honestly, I think the arrow points up. The 2022 draft will be a make or break draft for Gute. A lot of players opted into another year of college ball. Gute has a stable staff. He needs a monster 2022.
