This might be the position we will be looking at big time in the next 2 Drafts.
Especially if we don't bring back Hurst and don't draft a TE early in 2023.
I'm a bit surprised Laporta didn't enter the 2022 draft.
He put up 53 rec for 670 yards and 3 TDs last season.
He's already the requisite size at 6'4", 249 lbs.
It was a weak TE draft class, so I think he would have gone probably Rd 2.
Past successful TEs from Iowa also help give confidence in Laporta - Kittle, Hockenson, Fant.
Here's a good read on "TE U" - https://hawkfanatic.com/2021/10/05/iowas-rise-to-tight-end-u-started-four-decades-ago-under-hayden-fry/
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.
