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. 

Go back and read through the thread. OP thinks we should pick QB at 8 and trade multiple picks to get back into the first to pick Pitts.

If we get our qb at 8 and are thinking about trading up for another player, it better be an OL that is worth a damn. We can get a late round te if we want one from the draft.

Think he was thinking of this play where Pitts was being triple covered and one of the guys covering was PS.

Nope, I tried to reference that play.  He specifically referenced a different play, where Patrick Surtain actually got Moss'd.  However, it was a totally different player.  Or maybe Pitts changed his number and name on the back of his jersey, I'm not sure yet.  He literally posted a video and specifically pointed to a time point.  It wasn't Pitts.

In his defense it looked like the video said Pitts vs Surtain. So I’m not sure why they showed him getting gimped by Grimes ( our #2 receiver / #3 pass catcher behind Pitts and Toney.

Kyle Trask. A guy who benefit in a major way throwing to guys like Toney, Grimes and Pitts. 

Grimes is a guy that I'm bullish on. Waaay undervalued by a few sites (190+ overall). Boom bust guy, but I get the shades of old man Ted Ginn. Good speed has hops, but production was lacking. Has he ever returned punts at UF? Unlike Ginn, Grimes is a better lob threat and sturdier too. Seen him in the mid to late 6th and I'm all in on that loto ticket that late. He booms you profit, he doesn't meh.

 

Also, see Trask undervalued as well. Slipping from the 1st to in cases the 3rd now. I know his limitations are elite arm strength and is a statue, but give him 3 really good weapons and a meh to good online, and think he would be a fine qb. Thinking CMC, DJ, RA, are a nice starting group for him. Now sprinkle in Pitts in 1st (or Chase if he fell) with Arnold as another matchup issue, and Trask can spin it to put up big numbers.

 

Unsure why folks around here don't like Trask more, good mental makeup to push it good in the pocket and can get the ball out and on target.

I love pitts and wouldn't be mad if we drafted him. However, I honestly think we should build the roster first and run it back with teddy so that we could have a franchise QB step in to a much better situation. I would rather go OL or CB. But that's just my opinion. It would be a lil harder to get a QB1 next year seeing as we won't have a top 10 pick unless grier is thrown out there. 

I think our team is primed to be second in the division regardless of if teddy or one of the top QBs in this draft is under center for us. 

Just my take on it.

I’m a Gator homer. I just don’t see Trask as an elite NFL QB. As you said, the arm strength isn’t horrific but it is lesser and he doesn’t have much in the way of mobility. He needs elite weapons or a great line to give him time to make reads. Grimes should go well before the 6th.

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
