Kyle Pitts as a WR/TE Good for Carolina ?

That’s one play, brother. And the fact it took you this long to find one tells me you aren’t actually watching the games. 

Yes, because I spent my entire 20+ hours that I wasn't posting on the board looking for one snippet of film.  Good call.

Is he my top choice?  No, but I wouldn't be mad at the pick assuming Fields doesn't fall to us.

My mentality is... QB first unless you don't have a high evaluation of him.  For me this would mean us not taking Lance, but I'll understand if the staff thinks differently (same with Fields, who I do think is worth it in the 1st).

After that, you have OT and DBs.  Sewell and Slater are the top 2 options at OT, obviously.  Surtain would be a good pick too.

Then there is receiver.  I'd be cool with any of the receivers.  I know some think it would be a waste given other needs on the roster, but this receiver class is THAT good to the point where, you know, just getting a HOF-level talent is too much to pass up on.  Chase, Smith, Waddle, and Pitts are big time, freak talents.  I'd probably put Waddle last, and he's still a beast.  

Also I get the concerns about taking a TE in the 1st because I've voiced that here and elsewhere for years, but Pitts ain't like other TEs.  And not in a, oh he's just athletic way (Eric Ebron).  The man is an elite, NBA-level athlete playing a receiver position in the NFL.  He's legit.  And he would literally change the complexion of this offense before our eyes, even with Teddy.  So I don't think you can ever call someone like that a bad pick regardless of perceived "positional value."

So my personal rankings, as of now assuming we stay at #8:

1. Justin Fields / Mac Jones / Trey Lance (Jones and Lance, I'll trust Rhule and Fitterer's evaluation, but Fields is the only guy I would be in full support of us taking)

2. Slater or Sewell

3. Farley or Surtain

4. Pitts, Smith, or Chase

    • Trying to help those 3 folks who hate this move.    In 2025 2.75 million is basically the new "vet" minimum.    They still need #3 RB and returner, draft could/should be the lane for that.    There's no downside to this move, they could cut with little effect and replace with your chosen rookie.   
    • Is it though? Even looking at just this past year, DK played 3 more games and had 81 more yards than Higgins had, but he also did it on less catches, with DK averaging 15 yards per catch and Higgins with 12.5. Yes, Higgins had 10 TDs to DK's 5, but I'd say that was far less about the WRs than the QBs, seeing as Burrow had 43 TDs (and only 9 INTs) to Geno's 21 TDs (and 15 INTs).  Swap the two of them last year and DK puts up better stats with Burrow as his QB than Higgins did, no doubt about it in my mind. DK has also only missed 3 games in his career, Higgins has missed 5 in each of the last 2 seasons. People here complain about our WR speed (and it's many people's biggest issue with T-Mac in the draft), but Higgins ran a 4.59 40 and DK ran a 4.33. DK has only played one more season than Higgins but he has 1,730 yards and 14 TDs more than Higgins, despite playing with the ghost of Russell Wilson and Geno Smith, while Higgins has had Burrow. To me, there is no debate, DK is a significantly better WR than Higgins.  Give him Burrow as his QB during his career and his numbers would dwarf what Higgins has put up.
