Packers pick up TE/FB Josiah Deguara in 3rd round of NFL Draft

Green Bay used its third-round selection (#94 overall) on Cincinnati tight end/fullback Josiah Deguara, their final selection of the first two days of the 2020 NFL Draft.

Deguara is well-regarded as a pass-catcher who doesn't mind mixing it up in the trenches. For the Packers, it's the second straight year they've picked a tight end in the third round of the Draft, adding Jace Sternberger in 2019.

Here's what NFL.com has to say:

Hard-nosed move tight end who will garner consideration as an NFL H-back. He's a gritty blocker who plays with good positioning and works hard at sustaining blocks to help his run game. As a pass catcher, Deguara is sure-handed with good feel for soft spots against zone, but may need an accurate thrower due to contested catch likelihood and suspect catch radius. He's the type of Day 3 prospect who flies under the radar, but ends up becoming a solid contributor at H-back.

The Packers don't pick until #176, late in the fifth round. Green Bay traded away its fourth-round pick to move up to select quarterback Jordan Love in the first round, and also added running back A.J. Dillon in the second round.
