@Xfinity what is an entire neighborhood supposed to do if our internet has been absolute garbage for a week but everyone gets the “things look fine from our end” answer?
Clearly something is wrong. But nobody can get a different answer.
This is such garbage.
The Detroit Lions added Iowa TE Sam LaPorta with the 34th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. His skill-set immediately separates him from the TEs on the roster. Wouldn't be surprised if he's a day one starter.
- Easily shakes defenders
- Great YAC ability
- Fluid route runner
- Sinks his hips and drops his weight at ease when changing direction
- Needs to get stronger and more consistent with his hand placement but he's a willing blocker
Productive these last two seasons. 2021: 53 catches for 670 yards and 3 TDs | 2022: 58 catches for 657 yards and 1 TD. I'd expect an increase in touchdowns with better QB play and OC Ben Johnson calling the plays. #OnePride
The @Lions' draft class is the first since 2003 to have each of its first five picks earn at least an 80 NGS overall draft score, a threshold that represents the top 15% of historical prospects within their respective positions.

@JimCosta_ Doesn’t mean that at all. What’s the cost difference between a 3rd round draft pick and Bridgewater? A lot. Could easily be a higher upside, lower cost backup play.
