The Packers can address the TE position in the middle rounds. Early picks should concentrate on the trenches. That's where the game is won and lost.

Tight end is one of the deepest positions in the draft. A second or third rounder would do nicely.

To me the most pressing needs are:

1)Safety
2)Tight end
3)Defensive tackle
4)Edge
5)Back up QB

While many will clamor for another wide receiver, that is a position where, like running back, there are plenty of options. Who heard of Romeo Doubs last year? Never forget that the Packers all-time leading receiver, Donald Driver, was a seventh round pick.

My fear is unless safety is addressed it's going to be 'bombs away' against the Packers secondary next fall.

Good article on TEs, Rex!

So few TE's All Pros since 1986:
Rob Gronkowski, Jason Witten, Antonio Gates, Shannon Sharpe, and Jimmy Graham.

We would agree all were great receivers. All four were awarded AP based on receiving talent. How about blocking...are any of the APs great blockers too? My guess is Gronk, Gates, Sharpe were...Graham and Witten not so much.

It seems to me, MLF's IOC offense plays a TE most of the time ...and 12 personnel often. And knowing how to block and block well is highly valued.

I would not refuse to draft a TE in the first round based on the lack of All Pros. Depends how valuable the position is to make MLF's O go. It is a very empty room right now. I could see 2 or 3 being drafted with some UDFAs.

Kinkaid can block ok but is a like another WR on the field. Washington can probably block as well as Big Dog now and teases being a good receiver. Mayer, with his skillset can do both, but does not catch like Kinkaid or block like Washington. But he would stay on the field most of the game.

I see real value for MLF and especially Love having top blocking and receiving TEs on the field next season. And it may require a #15 to start filling the chairs in the TE room. Would not upset me at all.

Love that you crunched the numbers and provided details. Most of the top producing TE talents have not been drafted in the first round, so why gamble such a high pick on such a high-risk position. Often teams want first rounds to contribute right away and TE is the position least likely to contribute right away. Big guys in the trenches, pass rushers and CBs, maybe safety are first round-worth positions, along with QB. Not TE, WR or RB. You can get plenty of product from players drafted later.

Try to get a potential superstar in this draft at #15, and an immediate contributor, and a guy with high character -- but maybe there aren't any of these left by then.
If Darnell Washington isn't that much better than other tight ends in the draft, then maybe don't draft him, at least not at #15.
It's always good to get an edge rusher, but if there's not a superstar prospect at #15, maybe wait until later in the draft for this position.
One thing about defensive tackles is that they seem to need to rotate in and out of the game perhaps more than any other position in football. However, if there aren't any potential superstars at tackle at #15, then maybe draft one later.

The more I read about the draft here at CHTV, the more confused I get about whom to take.
In these days before the draft, it might be fun to tap into the CHTV staff and fans who do closely follow the college players available, by putting in one place their final list of favorites for the Packers to pick -- which would be good for future analysis and comparison.
It would be whom the fans want the Packers to take, not whom they think the Packers will take.
Maybe list three players, in order of preference, for the team's first pick at #15.
Then, list their two favorites for each of the following rounds.
Maybe list three players they would avoid.
Maybe list their sleeper picks, as in guys that they think are undervalued.
***
We could review these lists each year, especially for the next four years, perhaps as a contest determined by who gets the most likes. The winner by year could change according to the progress of the players drafted (whether they're on the Packers or other teams).

Lambeau, I think you are underestimating Mayer's and Kraft's catching talents. Watch their highlights and tell me they don't catch everything within 5 feet. Mayer didn't catch 180 balls by being bad at the receiving part and both he and Kraft block very well too. This article doesn't take into account the unprecedented strength of this TE class either. Past classes have had a huge dropoff after the first 2 or 3 TEs picked. This one has 10 that teams would love.

I am hoping for a trade back for more picks so we can take a WR in the 2nd, while picking our Favorite TE late in the first.

DT Brodric Martin can be had with a later pick. He is a solid run stopper with some pass rush ability. Pick a DT later when he is available. Other bigger needs earlier.

Truthfully the TEs maybe deep. But they're No sure thing.
You never take a Te rebuilding a Team.
If we miss Jermicheal Finley.
Isn't that the Type of TE we should draft.
We've had Graham. Keith Jackson, and Jared Cook.
None of them stayed. Don't compromise!
Stop the first round talk.

Two different angles on the article:
1. Maybe there weren’t many Pro Bowl TEs because a few dominated the selections for many years.
2. Picking the player you think is the BEST in a deep class is not a bad idea.

I have a theory as to why this is. Most teams drafting tight ends in the 1st round arent good teams. Lions>Hockenson, Fant>Broncos, Evan Engram>Giants, etc. Then when you look at the really good tight ends who were middle round picks, theyre generally drafted by really good teams: Gronk>Patriots, Kelce>Chiefs, Graham>Saints, Kittle>49ers, etc. Basically what I'm trying to say is it doesnt matter when they're picked. It's who picks them that matters. I still would rather GB wait till at least the 2nd round, but if they do draft one in the 1st Im not worried about them busting cuz Packers are a good team and MLF's non-Rodgers scheme will utilize tight ends heavily.

I was just playing around with the PFF simulator, just drafting the 1st round. When we were on the clock we had our choice of:

Lukas Van Ness
Joey Porter Jr.
Deonte Banks
Bijan Robinson
Broderick Jones
Brian Branch
Quentin Johnston
Jordan Addison
Myles Murphy
Zay Flowers

I traded down to 22 and got the Raven 3rd rounder and a '24 3rd rounder. I then had the choice of:

Myles Murphy
Dalton Kincaid
Calijah Kancey
Jordan Addison
Michael Mayer
Quentin Johnston

I then traded down to 28 and got the Bengals 3rd rounder and a '24 3rd rounder. (Hoping Gutey is over his 3rd round curse this year!)

I then had the choice of:

Will McDonald
O'Cyrus Torrence
Emmanuel Forbes

Or anyone not already taken...

But drafted Darnell Washington at #28 overall. IDK if Gutey will trade down or not and IDK if Washington will be available if he does, but worse things could certainly happen. If you knew Bijan or Quentin would be HOFers, you wouldn't trade down no matter what. At 15 the Ravens took Van Ness and at 22 the Bengals took Myles Murphy. IDK what Gutey will do, but he should have plenty of options at the very least.

There are no absolutes. It all depends on the distribution of talent in the draft class and how the draft breaks. Are you going to pass up a Tony Gonzalez for a Derrick Sherrod or a Justin Harrell because you don’t draft TEs in the first?

I wonder how many of these past highly drafted TE’s could actually block from day one. No, blocking is not the sexiest thing to evaluate when you focus on players that can score touchdowns. But this year there are a couple of TEs that have NFL size that “should” translate to the NFL.

With the importance of the running game with a new starting QB and of course the Wisconsin weather, this elevates the need to get one of these more physical guys sooner than later. If the Packers draft a receiving TE at #15, I will be disappointed. But if they draft one of the bigger boys that can block and be a safety valve, I’m okay with it at #15 or trading down and still getting one later in the first round.

Graham and Cook were toward the end of their careers. And you have to start somewhere Stockholder. Why not start with the weakest position on the team. I always advocate for a trade back from #15 as later in the first would be a perfect spot to start our draft by picking from 9 out of the 10 top TEs.

My perfect draft for 2023 TEs would be Kinkaid in later first, Kraft or Schoonmaker or Whyle in 3rd or 4th, and in 7th choose from Averett, Davis, Latu, Sims, or Durham. Add in Ruckert if a miracle happens between GB & the Jets, or trade for Albert Okwuegbunam from the Broncos. TE room rebuilt in one year. On to the next group.

If we get #42 & #43 from the Jets as we should, then we can really do some damage in this draft. And no draft killing, pick wasting, trades up this year. We are not even in the GALAXY of being ONE player away from anything at this point. Keep all of our picks and try to trade down for more early picks.

I’m definitely a BPA guy if your need positions don’t stack up. With that said, I believe GB absolutely needs to make this the Jordan Love draft. If he fails, nothing else matters.

Inexperienced QBs usually favor open targets over the middle, so let’s make sure he has a reliable TE and slot WR, even if you’re sacrificing some explosion for possession types.

Time to throw and a strong running game will also be massively important, so we need to stock up on OL for competition, probable injuries and future needs.

In this draft, it would seem that they’d have to take the OT first unless the cupboard is completely bare at 15. I know many experts say he’s a guard, but it would be pretty cool to see a pumped up Skoronski walk onto the stage with a GB draft cap ready to build on his grandpa’s legacy.

Below are the draft numbers for tight ends drafted by round from 1986 through 2022.

Between 1986 through 2022, 564 tight ends were drafted and of those 564 drafted 34 made the 1st or 2nd team All Pro at least one time.

Of those tight ends that made the all pro team, the most - 12 - were BY FAR drafted in the FIRST ROUND.

RND TEs All Pros % All Pros
1 35 12 34.3%
2 55 6 10.9%
3 73 6 8.2%
4 76 2 2.6%
5 86 3 3.5%
6 78 4 5.1%
7 102 1 1.0%
8 18 0 0.0%
9 12 0 0.0%
10 13 0 0.0%
11 10 0 0.0%
12 6 0 0.0%
Total 564 34 6.0%

As you can see, you are much more likely to find an All Pro tight end IN THE FIRST ROUND
than any of the lower rounds as would be true with any position.

And the probability of finding an all pro drops with each succeeding round.

That's not to say the Packers should draft a tight end in the first round this year, it is just to say that data shows VERY CLEARLY that the most All PROs - AT ANY POSITION - are going to be found in the FIRST ROUND, which is completely consistent with logic.

2 undrafted players made all pro as well - Antonio Gates and Chad Lewis - bringing total All PRO tight ends signed during the 1986 through 2022 period to 36.

Here are Tight ends that were drafted between 1986 and 2022 and made 1st or 2nd team All Pro from

Packer experience with tight ends is very similar.

From 2003 through 2022 the Packers drafted nine tight ends:

Player, Draft Year, Round, Pick #

1) Clark Harris, 2007, 7, 243
2) Jermichael Finley 2008, 3, 91
3) Andrew Quarless 2010, 5, 154
4) D. J. Williams 2011, 5, 141
5) Ryan Taylor 2011, 7, 218
6) Richard Rodgers 2014, 3, 98
7) Kennard Backman 2015, 6, 213
8) Jace Sternberger 2019, 3, 75
9) Josiah Deguara 2020, 3, 94

9 tight ends since 2003 and none made pro bowl or all pro.

Packer tight ends picked in the first round:

Bubba Franks 2000, 14th pick (3 pro bowls), Rich McGeorge 1970, 16th pick

Lombardi never picked a tight end in the first round from 1959 through his last year as GM in 1968.

Packer tight ends that have made the pro bowl beyond Bubba Franks:

Jackie Harris 4th round, 102 pick did not make any pro bowls but made 2nd team All Pro in 1992.

Mark Chmura 1992, 6th round, 157th pick (3 pro bowls and all pro in 1995 and 1998)

Keith Jackson 1988 1st round 13th pick (1 pro bowl with Packers - 3 other times with Eagles and once with the Dolphins, 5 time all Pro 3 times with the Eagles, 1 time with the Dolphins and 1 time with the Packers)

Ron Kramer 1957 1st round, 4th pick (1 pro bowl with Packers, 2 time all pro with Packers, 1962 and 1963)

Paul Coffman all pro 1982, 1983, and 1984 and Pro Bowl the same 3 years.

Here below are the tight end numbers for the 1986 through 2012 time period the author speaks of - round picked and how many made all pro:

RND TEs All Pros % All Pros
1 26 11 42.3%
2 38 5 13.2%
3 46 5 10.9%
4 50 2 4.0%
5 63 2 3.2%
6 57 3 5.3%
7 82 1 1.2%
8 18 0 0.0%
9 12 0 0.0%
10 13 0 0.0%
11 10 0 0.0%
12 6 0 0.0%
421 29 6.9%

Once again you can see that you are much more likely to find an ALL PRO tight end in the 1st round rather than subsequent rounds and the probability drops with each successive round.

Here below are the tight end numbers for the 2013 through 2022 time period the author speaks of - round picked and how many made all pro:

RND TEs All Pros % All Pros
1 9 1 11.1%
2 17 1 5.9%
3 27 2 7.4%
4 26 0 0.0%
5 23 1 4%
6 21 0 0%
7 20 0 0%
Total 143 0 0%
Rounds 2 thru 7 134 4 3%

The author apparently overlooked T. J. Hockenson (drafted in the 1st round with the 8th overall pick in 2019) as Hockenson made 2nd team all pro in 2020 - he has also made 2 pro bowls.

Once again you can see that you are much more likely to find an ALL PRO tight end in the 1st round rather than subsequent rounds and the probability drops with each successive round.

Here are all the tight ends drafted between 1986 and 2022.
