Packers tight end review: rookie options

As of this writing, the Green Bay Packers chose not to dive into the murky waters of the free agent tight end market. Austin Hooper, the primary target the Packers were expected to pursue, signed with Cleveland and became the highest-paid tight end in the game, while Hunter Henry has been franchise tagged by Los Angeles.

The Packers could still sign a tight end, but the top options are gone. Outside of (hopefully) resigning Marcedes Lewis and/or a rogue Eric Ebron or Delanie Walker signing, the Packers will need to look to the draft for options.

The Packers have much bigger needs than tight end and will want to focus their early picks on a combination of offensive tackle, wide receiver, and inside linebacker.
