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

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.

Who is mocking Pitts to us at 4th?

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.

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.

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.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
