Packers use 2nd-round pick on TE Luke Musgrave

The Green Bay Packers selected Oregon State tight end Luke Musgrave in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 42nd overall.

Musgrave missed most of the 2022 campaign but has a lot of potential thanks to his athletic tools.

The Packers' tight end room includes Josiah Deguara and Tyler Davis, among others.

Green Bay acquired the No. 42 pick from the New York Jets as part of the Aaron Rodgers trade. Musgrave figures to be a key part of the Jordan Love era.

Pre-draft profile

Musgrave has some of the most tantalizing tools in the class, but he has yet to put it all together. He's at his best when he stresses defenses vertically, leveraging his length and athleticism to make impressive catches regardless of where defenders are. If Musgrave pairs up with a coach who can round out his game and increase his versatility, he could wind up as the best tight end in the class. Improving the crispness of his routes and expanding his route tree beyond seams and crossers will go a long way in unlocking his potential. Musgrave also needs to move with more control to prevent stumbling as a blocker and receiver. He was reportedly medically cleared at the combine, but he played in only 20 games over four seasons with Oregon State, including just two in 2022 after sustaining a knee injury.
