Drafting a first-round tight end would be a rarity for the Packers

With Matt LaFleur and Nathaniel Hackett overseeing the Green Bay Packers’ offense, there figures to be plenty of “12” personnel sets in 2019. And to be effective, the Packers need talent at the tight end position.

Fortunately, there are several potential instant contributors planning to hear their names called in the first round Thursday night.
