When Denver ran into roster problems and released him a month later, the Packers brought him right back.

The Packers know what they need. They've drafted a TE each of the last two years, and have brought in a bunch of prospects. Sooner or later they will find one.
I really don't have a lot of confidence that they'll find one in the draft. It doesn't seem to be a high enough priority to go in 1st or 2nd round or to trade up. And despite his drafting of TE's, TT has a poor record picking a difference-maker at that position, with possible exception of Finley. FA or trade is what we need to do IMO.
