Arguably Green Bay’s biggest splash this offseason was the addition of free agent tight end Jimmy Graham. Both literally and figuratively. At 6’7”, 265 pounds, the hope is that Graham provides the receiving weapon at tight end that Aaron Rodgers hasn’t had since Jermichael Finley was in his prime. When Rodgers has been at his best he’s had a receiving tight end across the middle that he could rely upon. Graham gives him that weapon.
Even after signing Graham in free agency, however, Green Bay had a massive hole at the tight end position. Green Bay’s top three tight ends (Graham/Kendricks/Byrd) were all receiving tight ends who aren’t anywhere near skilled enough to be consistent blockers.
