Ticked enough to attend Jets' voluntary OTAs out of spite after blatantly skipping them with the Packers when they desperately needed him to develop chemistry with all the new WRs? Oh no wait, he already agreed to do that before the Packers made these picks.

These new TE's have everything you need for their production to translate to the NFL. Mark Chmura and Keith Jackson bookends, here we come.

Funny you say this. I was looking for some 90's nostalgia recently, so I watched some of those old Packer games with Jackson and Chmura just destroying teams.

When you have a guy like Watson that can take the top off the defense, have tight ends (and a slot guy) that can work the middle of the field can really the defense

Well I don't think I'll be too upset to see a TE screen this year

Great video. Love that he held his draft watch party in a Soviet era apartment block. The krushevka is an oft overlooked event space.

I immediately just assumed it was right outside their stadium in a parking lot or something, but krushevka makes more sense.

This guy moves a lot like George Kittle and some of the routes they had him running, wow. I love this pick.

Kraft is going to be an instant fan favorite in Green Bay. Just an intense dude who leaves it all on the field. I think he bonds with Love as well, both lost their fathers at a young age. Hard to understand that type of loss unless you go through it. He looks extremely motivated. Very excited to see this young man play.



He’s built like a Mack truck as well.

Yep, seems EXTREMELY motivated, dedicated and tough as nails. One of my favorite picks. I think Kraft and Musgrave give you a bit of Lightening and Thunder at the TE position.

I hope the Packers have been studying the 2010 Pats for ideas. That was the year Gronk and Hernandez were rookies and both had 60 targets a piece. Some dudes named Brady and Welker probably had a lot to do with their #1 scoring offense, but those two rookie TEs also had 16 TDs.

Ran a 4.60 at his pro day, nice. Seems like a good level-headed dude.

Great call!

Hopefully Musgrave does not eventually shoot someone

I gotta say that he's really turned around his season from looking totally lost to being an asset. Credit to the staff for getting him up to speed.

Agree. Tucker looks like a stud. We’d all be even more excited for him if we didn’t already have what looks like an ultra athletic freak in Musgrave. Glad to see Kraft get his chance to shine though. These two together could really be special.

What's struck me watching Kraft is they should have been using him on those short TE throws sooner. He's a much better YAK guy than Musgrave at this point.

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming Wow! What a Ride!-H.S.T.

I don't blame them. He just had no idea what to do regarding blocking or running routes. I'm glad it's clicking now.

Kraft = Mark Chmura, Musgrave = Keith Jackson. The prophecy is being fulfilled before our eyes.

Yep, he’s got good feet and balance. I don’t think we’re losing anything with Musgrave out. Heath can run the deeper patterns Luke was running.
