1. Green Bay Packers

Last season, the Green Bay Packers had to battle without their star quarterback for most of the season, as Aaron Rodgers was hurt against the Minnesota Vikings. He did return late in the year, but there was little chance of the team making the playoffs. Heading into next season, the Packers should be quite hungry, as they saw their NFC North rival Vikings make it all the way to the NFC Championship Game.

One area where this team is lacking is at tight end, where they tried to experiment with Martellus Bennett last season. While that did not work out, it still left the Packers with a hole in the position that needs to be filled heading into next season. If they want to add a pass-catching tight end, there is no better player than Jimmy Graham to add to this roster, and he has quite the history of catching balls from Hall of Fame quarterbacks.

Green Bay is likely to be back in the playoff mix once again in 2018, and Graham’s addition could put them over the top. Rodgers is still one of the best quarterbacks in the league, and he can be downright dominant when the team has a solid tight end in place. Graham is going to make some team a lot better at the position next season, and the Packers look to be the perfect fit at this point in his career.
