Laporte's better injury recovery timeline makes him preferable to Craft at same ADP.

Sam LaPortaTEDET

Laporte is coming off back surgery (herniated disc) and goes in mid-to-late seventh round ADP, similar to Tucker Craft but with a better injury outlook. He will start camp fully healthy with a full training camp ahead, unlike Craft who is only weeks removed from ACL surgery. Laporte set a career-high 59 receiving yards per game last season in nine games before the back injury. The source is more likely to draft Laporte than Craft at the same ADP due to superior injury recovery timeline and positivity around his health status.
