Message: <blockquote data-quote="Deleted member 6794" data-source="post: 855755">It's true for every single position on a football team that the chances of drafting an impact player are higher during the early rounds. That doesn't mean the Packers automatically have to select a replacement for Bulaga with their first pick next year.I have been advocating for the Packers to sign a tight end in free agency as it takes players at the position a significant amount of time to have an impact in the NFL.I'm definitely in favor of giving Lazard a chance to be a starter or even the #2 receiver in 2020 but the Packers shouldn't rely on him being up to the task.Sternberger's rookie season was close to a redshirt year in college, playing only 48 snaps so far. The Packers definitely need to add another tight end next offseason.You were the one mentioning that the Packers would absolutely have to use their first round pick on a right tackle if they let Bulaga walk away in free agency. Taking a look at the Pro Bowl rosters (a terrible indicator, I know, but the best I can come up with at this point) three of the six tackles have been drafted in the third round or later.As I've mentioned above, of course the chances increase of drafting an impact player early but that's true for every position.</blockquote>
