Packers 2019 Draft: Tight end T.J. Hockenson a first-round option

The Packers have the benefit of picking twice in the first round of this year’s draft, and that could help them in their search for a new tight end.

Even with Jimmy Graham under contract for another two years, there’s a good chance the Packers will need to replace free agents Marcedes Lewis and Lance Kendricks this offseason.

If general manager Brian Gutekunst decides to draft a tight end in the first round, he might have to make a decision between two players out of Iowa: Hockenson and Noah Fant.
