I’d rather trade my first 3 picks for Bijan than to draft LaPorta

Strangely enough, I'm actually kind of OK with LaPorta. We're not getting a premier guy at 26, and he is one of the players I feel most confident about. The value sucks, but it's kind of a wash at 26

Unreal. They are gonna reach for a 3rd round tight end. I can’t take this. This has Dak and McCarthy written all over it, no way McClay is on board with this. At least it should put the nail in the coffin on the QB and HC
Wow, the cliff jumping started even before the draft started this year. Impressive.

Mayer and Kincaid are the only two first round worthy TEs.

Yep.

I think Musgrave is a better raw talent than LaPorta, but LaPorta had more catches last season than Musgrave did in his 4 year career. Between inexperience and injuries, Musgrave comes with XFL-washout level risk. LaPorta at least has some sort of floor.
Yeah, not good with musgrave because he’s so unproven.

Slater and bald headed dude said same thing. LaPorta. These two know every year who they are gonna draft.
I can see if you're picking in the top 5, or even top 10. But there's no way you can know ahead of time who you're drafting at pick 26.

The art of exaggeration. LaPorta is not a third-round tight end. Most have him as a second-rounder. But yes, 26 would be considered a reach. Of course, Tyler was considered a reach last year and we saw how that turned out.

Same thing happened with the Tyler Smith pick last year, happened with the LVE pick, was gonna happen with Chaivon till CD fell to us. These insiders obviously know people in the know who spill the beans.

Yeah you can…when you focus on who you know will be there.

That's so silly. Laporta is a fine player.

If they're going TE in this draft, Mayer truly is the most complete TE, probably the most overall talent to make you better next year. I would say LaPorta is the 2nd most complete.

I think the pick is either Mayer or Washington or LaPorta. But they think Mayer will be gone, because he likely will go before we pick. So, LaPorta could be the pick. But it could also be Washington.

They don’t like Washington

I'm heading to the bar to watch the draft. So good evening, CZ draft crew... I'll catch up with the LaPorta rage threads tomorrow :)

So many homers talking up Laporta now. Nobody has talked about this guy especially round 1 till Jane Slater said something. LOL, you guys are worth the laugh

The first 3 picks would only get you to 13, he'll probably be gone by then.

I teared up when Bijan did not go to Dallas.
Why can't we have nice things???
