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.

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.

    • Yep. It was an obvious red flag that a lot of people ignored. The results/scores in preseason don’t matter, but individual performance very much does and individually, we looked like the least talented team in the league and it carried over.
    • Sorry, but in 2015, we didn’t look like poo to the extent of 2023. People who said it’s just preseason were completely wrong. Simple as that. 2015 was a veteran lead team. It was Cam’s 5th year and Luke’s 4th. Even our OL was 80% the same (added Oher) as the great run to finish 2014 with a playoff win. That year can be labeled as preseason doesn’t matter because I’m sure we rested vets and well, Ron/Mike weren’t putting in special plays, etc. I absolutely don’t recall a bunch of us saying that Turner was getting killed on one on ones or that Luke was completely out of position or that Norman was hurt again but probably fine. The only thing that was right about the 2023 preseason is that the minority of us who saw it, were correct that we A) should have been making Young and others play 100% of the reps as there was nothing to hide and B) the preseason means nothing was a bunch of BS trying to stay optimistic when it was obvious that we had way less good talent than the rest of the NFL.
    • You are telling me Paul Maurice is a better coach than Rod??? Yes!!!  It’s because he plays a better system and has a better goalie.   Our system sucks in playoffs and he refuses to roll with Koochie. Dallas cowboys level poo
