I think Pitts is a helluva prospect. Probably the most dynamic TE prospect since Vernon Davis.

With that said... we need a fuging QB. He'd be a waste if we don't address that. #8 needs to be about a QB. Either drafting one or trading for assets to get a QB next year.

I agree I just think people throw around "generational" a little bit much. I am not sure they have any idea what that actually implies.

We have Arnold (6-6 225 lb TE) and Sullivan (6-5, 240 lb coverted WR to TE at LSU) are lesser versions of Pitts--so if we take a pass catching TE in round 1, I would expect heads to roll.

I don't understand this mindset.

If our scouts / evaluators / coaching staff grade Pitts as a mismatch player (which he is from what I've seen of him in College), then a) he's worth a 1st round pick and b) he'll put Arnold and Sullivan (who?!) in the shade.

The question is not "Is he worth a first round pick?" The question is, "Is he worth trading away multiple picks to get *back* into the first round to pick up, when we have multiple needs at positions of greater import, like LT and CB.

A weapon like Pitts is a valuable asset. No doubt multiple teams will see him on the board at 8 and offer to trade with us. I hope they value him as much as OP because we'll make a mint on that trade.

I was once a non-believer, but I finally saw my errors. Pitts was the focus of great defensives AND he still put up big numbers. Bama put surtian on him as a shadow, fyi that top 15 #1 outside CB.... Pitts still got over 100 and 2 TDs. When the SEC is going all out to stop one player and can not, well you are special. 

 

I think Rhule was playing games, he was dropping a "Rookie TE not being productive" comment in a presser. Funny thing is if Pitts was a slot guy, hed be the #1 slot guy too. Just happens he can block..... somewhat..

Pitts had 1 catch for 10 yards against Surtain.  And he had 2 catches for 25 yards if you add in zone coverage as a "matchup."  This is not helping your case.

Why are you trading back into the first round for him?

Take him at #8, or trade down to later in the first round if you think he's not quite worth that / you have a good offer.

      Not sure how much he was a long term piece of this team.   Sucks to not have him as part of the rotation.   Looks like it's Lee Hunter time.

      I am not sure he will put the over the games but we’ll probably have them.   Two things I am thinking.  We have 4 preseason games.  All the coaches have enough service time to know the standards that are in place for decades. If I recall it was play your starters just a series to start woth and build it up until week theee where play a lot and you have week four to set hour roster. Evaluate before cuts.   Bevell will certainly have the whole thing down pat.   I’d they don’t do the fries and frie air will worry too. Because it is set up to do that.     I have said since they went t three preseason people have to figure a new way are still feeling it out and trying things.  We don’t have to this year.
