Kyle Pitts as a WR/TE Good for Carolina ?

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.
