What worries me is how well he would fit in ZT's scheme and if he would be used properly here. Otherwise, dude is a beast.

I would Taylor would understand he can be used in pretty much any WR or TE spot.
Pitts is almost as fast as Chase but he's 5" and nearly 40 lbs heavier.
I would have as much or more confidence with Pitts coming down with a pass than I would Chase, even though Chase is very good in 1-on-1 situations.

The Bengals really could play Pitts full-time at X receiver if they wanted.

Let's compare Pitts with former 7th overall pick Mike Evans.

Pitts:
Hands - 10.625"
Arms - 33.5"
Height - 6'5.5"
Weight - 245 lb
Bench - 22
Vert - 33.5"
Broad - 10'
40 - 4.44
20 split - 2.59
10 split - 1.55 (faster than Chase)
shuttle - 4.35
3-cone - 7.12

Evans:
Hands - 9.625"
Arms - 35.125"
Height - 6'4.75"
Weight - 231 lb
Bench - 12
Vert - 37"
Broad - DNP
40 - 4.53
20 split - 2.66
10 split - 1.6
shuttle - 4.26
3-cone - 7.08

Mike Evans has averaged 1180 yards and 8 TDs per season, hitting the 1000 yard mark every single year.

Pitts, I believe, can be as good as or better than Mike Evans, who is an elite WR.
