Because they played for different teams, with different schemes, alongside different personnel? Is that a serious question?
Look, I know you aren't seriously saying college production has no correlation to NFL success or teams could just draw names out of hat, or pick strictly off combine stats which is absurd. So teams look for statistical predictors to help with their projections. Who knows where the Bengals have Pitts, but from what we know about previous Bengals WR's they will have Chase extremely high regardless of the Burrow connection. He just grades out high in every area especially breakout age and production. Every team is going to have him rated very high. Players with this profile rarely miss.
None of this is to say Pitts won't. It's just Chase projects higher. And I think there will doubts Pitts projects as an every down X receiver.
