The Green Bay Packers lost one of their best players in Week 9 when tight end Tucker Kraft suffered a season-ending ACL injury.
While the Packers have another talented pass-catching tight end in Luke Musgrave, they might want to address that position at the NFL trade deadline.
With that in mind, analyst Eli Berkovits proposed two potential targets.
“Chig Okonkwo and David Njoku are essentially the only TEs I think make sense for the Packers right now. Either could be had for a Day 3 pick and I’d happily make that deal,” Berkovits wrote on X.

Okonkwo could be on his way out with the Tennessee Titans, as he has shown no chemistry with rookie quarterback Cam Ward and hasn’t been as involved in the passing game as often this season.
While not a star by any means, he’s proven to be a serviceable pass catcher when given an opportunity.
As for Njoku, he might be a safer choice for Green Bay.
He thrived in his first season with Joe Flacco as the Browns quarterback, so he likely would benefit from playing with a gunslinger like Jordan Love.
Njoku is a big target for the intermediate routes Love likes to throw, and he has reliable hands in the red zone, much like Kraft.
With the Cleveland Browns already having a replacement in rookie Harold Fannin Jr., Njoku could be available at a reasonable price.
Also, Kraft could be ready by the start of next season, so the Packers wouldn’t have to make a long-term commitment to Njoku, who is a pending free agent.
The Packers have Super Bowl aspirations, and they can’t rest on their laurels in the second half of the season.
