Getting to know the Packers possible 1st Round Picks: Jace Amaro

While drafting an offensive player may not seem like the smartest thing to do in this year's first round, Texas Tech TE Jace Amaro seems like a guy who'd fit really well in Green Bay. Originally projected as a second round pick, Amaro is now likely to be taken sometime late in the first, making him going to the Packers a definite possibility. He's young, athletic, and productive, as he caught 106 passes for 1,352 yards last season, while also being known as a great blocker, something that you can never underrate. So yea, maybe he'll be the prospect the Pack get to start things off. It'd make a lot of sense.

Packers hire Texas Tech assistant David Raih onto coaching staff

The Packers, following last week's hirings of Ron Zook and Sam Gash, apparently added yet another piece to their 2014 coaching staff this weekend, hiring Texas Tech Outside Receivers coach David Raih as an offensive assistant, PackersNews.com reports. As of now, the exact position Raih has been hired to is still a mystery, although it is expected to be announced sometime this week. 

From 1999 to 2003, Raih was the backup QB of the University of Iowa's football team, so it's definitely possible that his new position could involve working with the team's recently-promoted QBs coach: Alex Van Pelt. There's no evidence to support that statement, but, like I just said, it's definitely possible.
