TIGHT END
The Packers have a major need at tight end going into the draft. I expect them to look in the early rounds to find their guy at the position.
Eric Ebron (No. 1) will probably be gone when they pick in the first round, so they may trade back and pick up a guy like Jace Amaro (No. 2) at the end of the first round or wait and take a chance on a guy like Troy Niklas (No. 3) or C.J. Fiedorowicz (No. 5) in the third round.
My Pick for the Packers: C.J. Fiedorowicz in Round 3
1. Eric Ebron, North Carolina: 6-4, 250 (4.60)
2. Jace Amaro, Texas Tech: 6-5, 265 (4.74)
3. Troy Niklas, Notre Dame: 6-6, 270
4. Austin Seferian-Jenkins, Washington: 6-6, 275
5. C.J. Fiedorowicz, Iowa: 6-6, 262 (4.76)
6. Arthur Lynch, Georgia: 6-5, 258 (4.82)
7. Richard Rodgers, California: 6-4, 245 (4.82)
8. Crockett Gillmore, Colorado State: 6-6, 260 (4.78)
9. A.C. Leonard, Tennessee State: 6-3, 245 (4.50)
10. Colt Lyerla, Oregon: 6-4, 242 (4.61)
11. Marcel Jensen, Fresno State: 6-6, 259 (4.85)
12. Xavier Grimble, USC: 6-4, 257 (4.90)
13. Jacob Pedersen, Wisconsin: 6-3, 238 (4.89)
