LaPorta is getting a significant discount in drafts... relative to cost, his floor-to-ceiling range is one of the best at the position, and I'm planting my flag on him.
STACKED’s take
Elite efficiency metrics and draft discount make LaPorta's floor-to-ceiling range best at TE.
LaPorta is on pace for roughly 75 catches and eight touchdowns in a full season, with a zero-drop 2025 that ranked in the top 3 percent in adjusted catch rate. He also grades in the top 6 percent in yards per route run against zone coverage and the top 13 percent in yards after catch, elite marks for creating extra yardage at the position. When healthy, he's the clear No. 2 receiving option in Detroit ahead of Jameson Williams. Herniated disc surgery at a young age is a real medical flag, though he's fully recovered and re-injury risk looks slight. LaPorta is getting a significant discount in drafts. He may not be the target hog that the top tight ends are, but relative to cost, his floor-to-ceiling range is one of the best at the position, and Jim Coventry is planting his flag on him.
