Anyone that mocks Kyle pitts to us doesn't watch this team

[ImaginaryKev]

Pitts is a Travis Kelce, Vernon Davis prospect, and we don't throw to the TEs, sure, but frankly our TEs aren't that good. He's one of the three best non QBs in the draft, I'm sure the Panthers are at least doing their homework on him. It'd be crazy not to in the event CMC plays the rest of the year and we mess around and beat WFT bc Brian Burns is pissed that Chase Young took his Pro Bowl spot. 

Also, we don't have confirmation Wilson is even leaving BYU, the possibility of missing out on a QB is real, in which case I'm sure trade down and BPA is a possible scenario in the multiverse. Pitts is then justifiable, especially for a team looking to get as talented as possible for a future QB

Can't remember a  highly touted college TE living up to their draft position. Look at the current best tight ends in the league:

Kelce - 3rd round

Kittle - 5th round

Waller - 6th round

Only top 10 picks in the last 20 years are TJ Hockenson, Eric Ebron, Vernon Davis and Kellen Winslow Jr.

Hockenson has had a good year and at this trajectory might end up the best of the bunch but even his production amounts to 4 catches for 48 yards per game. The remainder pan somewhere between bust to average starter.

Dude's one of the ten BPA in this draft, I can get on board under the right circumstances

Who is mocking Pitts to us at 4th?

I'll call him a TE when he blocks someone.

He did it against Bama. Multiple times. They even had him in the backfield on one play to help block.

Quite a bit actually. CBS, Walter...BUT they also had him going to us several weeks ago when we were projected around #10+. So in reality it’s more like Pitts can go to anyone and also they don’t know poo about the Panthers and who they’d need to pick so just slotting in the hyped player in wherever.

Swap down 10-15 spots and get a first and second rounder and Pitts in the process, I won’t be mad.

Walter has us taking JaMarr Chase. CBS has us taking Mac Jones.

If we don’t like a qb in the first then I would definitely like pitts

You can tell who hasn't watched him at all

Last I checked was yesterday for some and each site has multiple mocks from different people...I swear I saw one from CBS today or yesterday at #4...for example here is Charlie (Walters) who have us taking Pitts at #6

If I searched more (the other night I went on a mock draft rampage), there were definitely quite a few.

For context CBS releases a new mock about every day so it's likely they mocked Pitts to us multiple times

I believe you, for what it’s worth. I love Pitts. I think he has the biggest drop from him at his position to the #2 player at the position in the entire draft. I just don’t see us drafting a TE at 4. When we were closer to 10, absolutely.

Yep I agree. I read a good article on Pitts yesterday about just where he should be taken and how high. General consensus is no one has any clue. So I think they’re just putting him wherever in mock drafts, especially for teams no one cares to know anything about ie Panthers.

You've clearly not watched him play.

Why do you say that?

He's a Flex-TE. Lines up in the Slot.

They literally never ask him to block. He's a Big WR, basically. Jimmy Graham.
