Packers could have competition for tight ends in 2019 NFL Draft

The Green Bay Packers are one of many teams who could potentially select a tight end early in the 2019 NFL Draft. The Detroit Lions, Buffalo Bills, Cincinnati Bengals and Oakland Raiders are all teams who could potentially select a tight end in the opening rounds.

And we can now add the New England Patriots to that list. On Sunday, Rob Gronkowski announced on Instagram that he is retiring from football.

Gronkowski has been a huge part of the Patriots offense for many years, and they could now use an early-round pick at the tight end position.
