From the episode

They draft Colston Loveland in the first... his whole career has been very tight end forward... having a young guy who is getting this level of hype but defenses don't yet know everything about him, that's a huge win for a team.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Loveland fits Doyle's tight-end-forward scheme; defensive unfamiliarity is a huge advantage.

Colston Loveland was drafted in the first round by Chicago under offensive coordinator Declan Doyle, who has a tight-end-forward coaching philosophy throughout his career (tight ends coach under Sean Payton, Ben Johnson, and in Chicago). Loveland benefits from this scheme fit and the fact that defenses don't yet know what to do with him as a young talent, similar to how Loveland came in last year with talent but defensive unfamiliarity.
