Laporta did have one of the best seasons a rookie TE has ever had

Yes, and if GMs had known that he would have been picked much earlier. Getting that kind of season out of any draft pick is rare for any round. Any GM looking at that and saying “I can reasonably expect to get similar production out of a mid-round TE” is not being realistic.

Being the better prospect does not mean he will automatically do better than Kelce or Gronk.

No, but Bowers has a better chance of being that based on his measurables and production than anyone in the last several drafts, which is why he’s projected by most to be picked higher than the top TE usually would be.

You are completely missing the point no one drafts likes that. But TE is not a high value position you can find production in later rounds and not use high draft capital and salary on a rookie just because he’s the “best prospect evah” at his position.
