Eifert's best season in college = 63 rec, 803 yards, 5 TDs in 13 games. 12.7 YPR.
Pitts' best season = 43 rec, 770 yards, 12 TDs in 8 games. 17.9 YPR.
Pitts is a better prospect than Eifert, and should go, at worst, in the 10-15 range.
He's very likely going to be a Top 10 pick, and possibly go in the Top 5 now that he has shown he has WR speed.
He could be a top 10 pick like you say. I just don't want the Bengals picking him there when they're are more pressing needs. TE that high is a luxury pick that doesn't pay out.
I asked earlier today for someone to name a top 10 drafted TE in the last 25 years that lived up to their draft spot and there haven't been any.
If you expand that out to top 15 in the draft and Tony Gonzalez is the only example I could find. If the Bengals can trade down to the teens and accumulate the draft capital that goes with it, that's the only scenario I'd be ok with selecting Pitts.
