Green Bay Packers seven-round mock draft: Improving the roster
By Dan Dahlke
7. 252nd pick — Blake Jarwin, TE, Oklahoma State
The Packers could use another late-round pick to readdress a position of need. Even with the Roberts selection in the fifth round, tight end remains a position lacking depth.
The Packers will probably re-sign Cook this offseason, and Richard Rodgers still gives them a viable backup at the position. However, the way Coach McCarthy likes to use two-tight end sets or line up one wide on the boundary, Green Bay could use four quality pass catching tight ends on their roster.
Jarwin is a towering 6-foot-5, 248-pound target over the middle of the field. He’s also use to playing in a spread offense and shows a good ability to work out in space and get open. While only possessing moderate straight-line speed, Jarwin is a smooth athlete and shows good route-running ability.
He’d provide depth for the Packers and could contribute on special teams as a rookie, which is a good value at the end of Day 3.
