player. 49. The Green Bay Packers got their passing game going lately behind QB Aaron Rodgers. WR Jordy Nelson looks like he’s all of the way back from his knee surgery now. Davante Adams is becoming a bigger part of the offense and Randall Cobb is doing his thing. <p>One thing Rodgers can certainly use as a comfort is a TE that can create mismatches. And being way too big for secondary players and way too fast for linebackers is the way. That makes O.J. Howard of Alabama the man for the job here at No. 20 overall.</p> <p>This gives Rodgers a No. 1 receiver, a strong No. 2 receiver a slot-receiver and a solid tight end. Ty Montgomery’s move to running back even gives Rodgers a good option out of the backfield. Speaking of which, Montgomery is on his way to absolute stardom at the position.</p> <p>And Howard was the best run-blocking tight in college football this year so he’ll help there too. And with the healthy defense, the Packers are already a tough out for anyone. So taking Howard in the first round next year will make them an even tougher out.</p>. TE. Alabama. O.J. Howard. 21
