We've seen it before from the Eagles, where it's like, you know, the Giants, there's not much about that situation I'm willing to buy into at the minute.
Yeah, I mean, 84th overall, tight end eight.
I would take him easily over Kyle Pitts and Harold Fannin.
I think that we're going to see his ranking jump significantly over the next week or two.
He's been completely cleared from injury ahead of camp.
He had a herniated disc last year.
And I think that as people realize that he's not going to miss any of training camp, we're going to see people start to push him up.
Again, going back to...
What we're looking for from Jalen Hurts at the onesie position, I'm hunting for a tight end who can be tight end one overall outcomes, and I think that Laporta is potentially the lowest possible tight end who can do that.
Obviously, the flip side of this is if Jameson Williams ever eventually breaks out properly, then it might be a poor pick.
But something our guys on the Betting Pros podcast have talked about this week, the Lions have the easiest strength of schedule according to Sharp Football.
Now you've got Drew Petson coming in as the offensive coordinator.
He came from Arizona.
He was OC for the last two years where Trey McBride had 147 targets and 169 in those years.
Sam Laporta, 20 touchdowns in 42 regular season games, multiple games of 90 plus yards last year.
There just aren't many tight ends who can give you that, like give you the yardage and give you the touchdown total.
Obviously missed some time last year, but he had the third best catch rate, sixth in yards per game, fourth in yards per outrun, third in yards per target and sixth in yards per reception.
This Lions offense just does better when Sam Laporte is on the field.
They scored over the course of his career with the Lions, they've scored 31.4 points with him, 24.8 without him.
I just can't find a downside for Sam Laporte outside of perhaps Jameson Williams can take away the ball more, but I really buy into him.
