Luke Musgrave
- Position: Tight End
- College: Oregon State
- Draft Status: Round 2, Pick 42
- Relative Athletic Score (out of 10): 9.78
- What He’s Playing For: The starting job. The Packers lack options at tight end, and Musgrave enters training camp as the favorite to become their starter. His tremendous size and athletic combination give him an advantage over his peers. However, it will be the mental aspect that will be the most challenging.
Jayden Reed
- Position: Wide Receiver
- College: Michigan State
- Draft Status: Round 2, Pick 50
- Relative Athletic Score (out of 10): 6.74
- What He’s Playing For: Starting slot receiver. Reed doesn’t have the athletic profile some of the other Packers’ draft picks have, but he’s savvy enough to make up for it. He’ll battle with Samori Toure for the top slot spot on the depth chart.
Tucker Kraft
- Position: Tight End
- College: South Dakota State
- Draft Status: Round 3, Pick 78
- Relative Athletic Score (out of 10): 9.68
- What He’s Playing For: The starting job. The Packers doubled down on the tight end position on Day 2 by selecting Kraft, and he’ll have every opportunity to compete with Musgrave for the top spot. Musgrave is seen as the overwhelming favorite, but there is still playing time to be earned in Green Bay’s offense.
