Given those 3 options(at #51 I am assuming)makes any interesting choice.They are a grouped together pretty closely I think, in the 45-55 area.I’m trying not to go down the mock draft simulator rabbit hole again this year……but there’s no scenario I take LaPorta over Sanders and Gibbs.
You could argue that all 3 play non premium positions two of which(RB and LB)are less of a need than TE to the Fins.
Purely on talent I would rank them Gibbs, Sanders, LaPorta in that order, but given the scenario choosing one of the three I am not sure what I would do. LaPorta is the biggest upgrade to what the Fins have at his position(although you could argue for Gibbs too)Gibbs is likely the biggest impact of the three, while Sanders would be a solid addition to what was a weak LB corps.
With a guy to my head I am probably taking Gibbs but if you replace LaPorta with D Washington or Mayer I would go with the TE.
RB that early would be tough for me philosophically but Gibbs is clearly the best player.
But honestly I would trade down or take Luke Wypler, Bergeron, Mauch, or Joe Tippman.
