What are your expectations for the Packers' first-year tight ends?

After general manager Brian Gutekunst decided against re-signing tight end Bobby Tonyan, the tight end room for the Green Bay Packers needed a spark, a breath of fresh air. So, Gutekunst & Co. drafted not one tight end, but two tight ends in the first three rounds of this year's NFL Draft. It was only the fourth time in team history since the NFL-AFL merger that the Packers drafted two tight ends in the same draft (1967, 1969, 2011) and the first time they drafted two tight ends within the first three rounds in the same draft, according to Pro Football Reference’s Stathead.
