Packers 2019 Draft: Tight end T.J. Hockenson a first-round option
Iowa tight end T.J. Hockenson is a first-round option for the Green Bay Packers in the 2019 NFL Draft.
The Packers have the benefit of picking twice in the first round of this year’s draft, and that could help them in their search for a new tight end.
Even with Jimmy Graham under contract for another two years, there’s a good chance the Packers will need to replace free agents Marcedes Lewis and Lance Kendricks this offseason.
If general manager Brian Gutekunst decides to draft a tight end in the first round, he might have to make a decision between two players out of Iowa: Hockenson and Noah Fant.
