STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Second-best tight end in second half of season; top-40 ADP reflects late-season breakout.

Loveland ranked as the second-best tight end behind Trey McBride in the second half of last season and is being drafted as a top-40 player, validating his late-season emergence and suggesting sustained production.
