We are not taking a tight end. 

He won’t be available when we pick.

Whoever drafts him in the top 8 won’t have a job in a couple years. No TE prospect is justified being drafted that high.

Hard disagree on both fronts.

People will lose their jobs if they draft him and play him exclusively inline. He’s a pure weapon that I’d take over Chase if I needed a pass catcher

He compares to Calvin Johnson in almost every measurement. He is a WR and will be used like one.

Remember Devin Funchess? He was a TE in college that turned WR in the NFL. Really average career. I’m not saying that Funchess is the elite talent Pitts is coming out of college but I’d hate to draft a hybrid TE/WR. Those guys usually don’t pan out in the NFL, Funchess, Ebron, Engram, Howard. 

Stop it he’s light years above them as a prospect

He was like a 2nd round pick who was not physical enough to play TE or smooth/fast enough to be an elite WR. That was mentioned as a negative in his draft profile...  This guy runs a 4.4 with a wingspan the longest of any player in the past 3 decades who was the main piece in Florida’s offense. How did Trask look when Pitts get injured? Not very good. Throw it under to Tooney to launch it deep I n Pitts’ direction and let him make the catch (which he almost always did). That was the Florida offense.

Winslow, Davis, Olsen, Eifert (before injuries) were all great. Fant looks solid (needs a better QB). Ok now play your same game with Florida QBs in the NFL.

He’s not Calvin Johnson. Devin Funchess was used as a WR for us. He was just okay. 

What makes him not like Calvin Johnson? Speed? Height? Weight? Catch radius? College production? Or is just because you see a TE beside his name instead of WR?

You are really comparing a great college TE to one of the greatest NFL wr ever. Calvin ran a 4.35 or 4.38 at the combine. You’re not watching the player on the field. You’re looking at the measurement and trying to tell yourself that he’s Calvin Johnson when he’s not. 

Pitts ran a 4.4 with a longer wingspan. Obviously he isn’t proven like the HoF WR Johnson in the NFL. When teams see his production with his measurements they see the potential to be a Calvin Johnson. Every pick can bust or be a let down, but he is one of the safer picks in the draft. Trask is ceiling is a notch below Cousins, his floor is out of the league in a few years.

Eric Ebron was so much more highly rated than Pitts was coming out of college. 

Much more? They are talking about Pitts going at 4? How was Ebron much higher than that?

Negative Enron had bricks for hands coming out. If Pitts decides he only wants to play WR he’s the No1 Wr in the class
