Most people agains't Pitts are stuck on his "Tight End" tag don't view him as a TE think of everything he can do. How he can transform your offense. Pitts instantly becomes the most dynamic piece on a offense that you can build around.

I would disagree with instantly.  NFL offenses have a lot checks and hot reads that college offenses don't have.  When you're wanting to line a guy up at a bunch of different positions, that exponentially increases the amount of those checks he has to learn.  It you're using him as a TE, he also has things like blocking assignments and blitz pickups he has to learn.  That's a lot for a rookie to take in.  He has the physical tools to line up anywhere, assuming he can back that 40 up, but whether he has the football IQ to keep it all straight, especially as a rookie, is a whole different can of worms.  That's not to say he wouldn't be a great get, but temper expectations for the guy as a rookie.  Rookie TE's tend to struggle, anyway.
