Brian Gutekunst’s first draft as a general manager has to be considered an overall success, filling giant holes in the defensive secondary, picking up an additional first-round pick for next year and increasing the top-to-bottom athleticism on the roster. But one position not addressed in the draft was tight end.
It’s impossible to make every position the priority on draft weekend, and it’s hard to question Gutekunst placing more emphasis on the Packers’ woeful pass defense, but many fans are still a bit uneasy about where the tight end position stands today.
Bringing in former superstar Jimmy Graham was a step in the right direction, but some questions still remain about what his role will be in Mike McCarthy’s offense.
