After Director of Football Operations Reggie McKenzie left the team to become the Oakland Raiders' General Manager, and hired Shaun Herock away from the club this week, the Green Bay Packers will be restructuring their personnel department, Bob McGinn of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports. According to McGinn, Eliot Wolf will "basically assume" McKenzie's duties, while Brian Gutekunst is expected to replace Herock as the Assistant Director of College Scouting. Wolf is the son of former Packers general manager Ron Wolf and has spent the last eight seasons in the Packers' personnel department. Wolf's involvement in the Packers' drafts dates back to 1993. Gutekunst has been an area scout in the Packers organization since 1999.
