# Jacob Westendorf: Westendorf argues the Packers should sign free-agent tight end Jonnu Smith as insurance behind Tucker Kraft, whom he expects to assume full duties as Green Bay's top tight end. **Claimed:** Aug 12, 2026 **Pundit:** Jacob Westendorf — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/jacob-westendorf **Outlet:** Sports Illustrated — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/sports-illustrated **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.si.com/nfl/packers/onsi/88-catch-free-agent-could-provide-big-lift-to-packers-passing-attack One checkable claim, graded on its own against what actually happened. It names 2 players and teams, each linked to their own record. Nothing to score yet: this grades once the result is in. Of the 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room. > With Tucker Kraft assuming full duties as the top tight end on the roster, the Packers might be looking for someone who can fill responsibilities as a secondary tight end. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Tucker Kraft to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Tucker Kraft, Green Bay Packers - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Tucker Kraft — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/tucker-kraft - Green Bay Packers — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/packers ## What others said about the same people - Keith Sanchez on Deion Burks: In his final 2026 NFL mock draft, Sanchez projects the full first round plus several second-round picks, starting with Fernando Mendoza going No. 1 overall to the Raiders. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/430b0c19-30ac-470f-9f96-0a7184ffcdf5 (scored 0.02) - Jaime Eisner on Keith Abney: In a "What I Would Do" 2026 NFL mock draft, Eisner assigns first-round selections for all 32 picks plus several early second-round picks, starting with Fernando Mendoza to the Raiders at No. 1. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/b5ac441b-006d-4e52-b938-402c0b0d8a2e (scored 1.06) - Kyle Crabbs on Shemar Stewart: In his final 2025 NFL mock draft, Crabbs projects all 32 first-round picks, starting with Cam Ward to the Titans at No. 1 and Travis Hunter to the Browns at No. 2, and including projected trades involving the Bears/Jaguars and a Giants move back into the late first round for Jaxson Dart. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/59fd8433-f3b9-496d-ac9b-0dfd67a55367 (scored 77.11) - Mike Mayock on Derrick Harmon: Mayock completed his mock draft, assigning picks 20 through 32: Tetairoa McMillan at 20, Shedeur Sanders to Pittsburgh at 21, and on through Walter Nolen to the Eagles at 32, including the Giants trading up to 24 for Jackson Dart. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/cc6aa598-b890-44dc-ac22-693c86fe8600 (scored 91.7) - Kyle Crabbs on Shavon Revel Jr.: Crabbs projects all seven rounds of the 2025 NFL Draft, starting with Cam Ward going No. 1 overall to Tennessee, Travis Hunter second to Cleveland and Abdul Carter third to the Giants. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/e8a40874-e85c-44ec-a4c8-b6f0edbd22d2 (scored 38.56) - Jason Hirschhorn on Nicholas Singleton: In a constrained mock-draft exercise (choosing from pre-set boards), Jason agreed with Jacob on Packers selections: CB Chris Johnson at 52, DL Dominique Orange at 84, CB Julian Neal at 120, OL JC Davis at 153 and RB Nick Singleton at 160.
