TE: Sam LaPorta could end up the best TE in this class and has crazy upside.  He brings it all.  Definitely my new favorite, dare I say, even over Musgrave and Washington.

EDGE: A huge second to Felix Anudike-Uzomah.  His pass rushing skills are legit.  

RB: Tyjae Spears for an all-around pass catching running back to compliment either Jamaal or D'onta

WR: Hands down, Andre Iosivas outside the top guys.  He's a non-dropsies Christian Watson.  Do not mind Tanke Dell, Rashee Rice or Tyler Scott one bit either, but Iosivas would be a great outside guy.  

IDL: Keeanu Benton out of Wisconsin.  As hard-nosed lineman as they come out of a school that produces the gritty, big boys.  

Agree. I’ve been saying Laporta is TE3 for a while. 
 

Brian Branch is another guy I have high on my non-QB wish list.

had never heard of him before this post...6'3'', 4.43 speed, huge catch radius, great hands....coming out of the Ivey league, that will be an adjustment, but sounds like a great pickup in 4th or 5th

LaPorta for sure but, that one handed catch by Washington on the corner route at the combine gave me the ‘tingles’.  Would be thrilled with either and LaPorta should be available at 39.

Question is, how do we wrangle both LaPorta and Uzo?  I want them both.

Yeah that's the hard part knowing one of our 2nd could likely be gone.  

My best guess would be more movement and keeping 39 somehow.  A slight trade down from 39 to the 40s, gain an extra mid rounder.  Leverage our capital to move higher into the 3rd.  Would be hard.  Can easily do it on simulators but highly unlikely in reality.   

For a later round EDGE that's pretty refined from a pass rush standpoint, extensive moveset, run-D isn't bad either, I'd also throw a shoutout to Villami Fehoko from San Jose State.  NFL blood, Vea & Fehoko family.  

6'3 265, really nice burst, quick feet, Mountain West DPOY.  Can push lineman but easily move fluidly around the field.

      XL about to turn the corner

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      He’s set financially for life barring complete fiscal lunacy. He has $12.3 million guaranteed. Think about that. Twelve million three hundred thousand dollars, he’ll be 28 years old when his contract is up and he’s completely forgotten about if he never plays another down in the NFL if he so chooses. Say after taxes he ‘only’ brings home $6M (fire your accountant territory) and parks $4M in a run of the mill mutual fund… good God… What I’m getting at, IF homie ain’t feeling the NFL, he has 12,300,000 reasons to take the fewest NFL edition ass kickings as possible while waiting out his very wealthy non-football future.  Obviously completely talking out of my a$$ with this… but if you hated contact, didn’t want to live with a completely wrecked body for the rest of your life and you know you’re set financially… what path would you take, assuming you’re cool with being a quitter (not calling him a quitter, I’m just playing out a scenario)? Why do so many first rounders bust? Where was he before his one year wonder if he was such a stud?  Everybody likes the dude on a personal level. How could you not? …. but I like seeing a winning product even more. He doesn’t play like his head is in the game. The Why is where the speculation lies and helps to clarify if his issues are ‘fixable’ or not.

      Very likely that he needs another season or two to really find his groove.  It very well may not be here where he has his best season. He’s a physical standout, but he can’t seem to get his focus and mentality right. That non-catch where he didn’t get his second foot in bounds was a truly awful display of this. Every professional in this game makes that catch.  Last week, it was clear that he wasn’t playing in top gear.  Like so many young people these days, he wants success without working hard.  He wants maximum reward for minimum effort. He wants to rest on talent. But talent alone won’t cut it.  The foolishness of youth and inexperience.  He can have it all if he wants it.  Seems like he’s content to be a social media star and a forgettable football player.
