Even though the Packers signed both Marcedes Lewis and Jimmy Graham in the offseason, they still have question marks at the tight end position. Neither of those players is the long-term answer or even the short-term answer, apparently.

Fant is one of the top tight ends in the draft and someone who could provide a big body and steady target for Rodgers. At 6-foot-5, Fant knows how to leverage his frame and keep smaller defenders away. He’s also a touchdown machine, as he’s racked up 18 in the past two seasons combined.

Fant is a nightmare matchup for opposing defenses and could solve the Packers long-term issues at the position. He’d be a nice weapon to add to the young playmaking core and someone who can win at all three levels of the field.
