Packers draft preview: Depth required, but TE class looks limited

Error 0:

The Green Bay Packers will go into the 2020 NFL draft with a chance to use the team’s 10 draft picks to build on a roster that finished 13-3 and advanced to the NFC title game in 2019. GM Brian Gutekunst has three picks in the top 100 selections and seven Day 3 picks.

Packers Wire’s position-by-position draft preview rolls on at tight end:

On the roster

Marcedes Lewis, 35, signed through 2020
Robert Tonyan, 25, signed through 2020
Jace Sternberger, 23, signed through 2022
James Looney, 24, signed 2020
Evan Baylis, 26, signed through 2020

Short term need

Moderate, but rookie tight ends rarely make an impact, so expecting a first-year player from this draft class to solve a short term need isn’t really practical or fair.
