4. Who will be the third tight end?

The Packers have been searching for a franchise tight end ever since they lost Jermichael Finley to a career-ending injury. A few years ago they signed Jared Cook, last year they went with Martellus Bennett and now they signed Jimmy Graham.

Behind Graham, they have another free agent they signed last season in former Wisconsin Badger Lance Kendricks. Kendricks disappointed in his first season in the green and gold, but has the capabilities to be a good backup tight end.

The real question mark comes after Graham and Kendricks where it’s slim pickings. Most experts were surprised Green Bay didn’t draft one this season, but they likely ran out of picks considering they used two selections on a punter and long snapper respectively. That leaves them searching for a player that can play a big role in special situations. Especially, the short-yardage game which Green Bay has had major struggles in recent history.
