Packers upgrade pass catchers in 7-round 2020 NFL Draft mock
By Randy Gurzi
One interesting player in this year’s draft is tight end Thaddeus Moss. Despite being the son of Hall of Fame wide receiver Randy Moss — who tormented Green Bay for years with the Vikings — this prospect hasn’t garnered a ton of attention. The reason for that is simply that he hasn’t done a whole lot.
Moss originally played for North Carolina State but transferred to LSU when his offensive coordinator headed there. He missed time with an ankle injury and had to get used to playing with a plate in his ankle. However, he turned it on as LSU hit the playoffs and finished his final season with 570 yards and four touchdowns on 47 receptions.
Still incredibly raw, Moss is actually better as an in-line tight end but considering his bloodline, he could end up developing into a great route runner. Pairing him with Jace Sternberger gives the Packers two young, talented tight ends to work with.
Another area where the Packers need help is along the interior of their offensive line. Last year, this was a real problem for them so they add some help with their fourth-round pick by selecting Logan Stenberg.
Waiting until the fourth round means they don’t get a sure-fire starter but Stenberg is a powerful player who could end up developing into a good option for them at guard.
