Where my fellow #TeamPitts crew at?!

Pitts is projected by multiple known draft experts as the top prospect after Trevor Lawrence.
Daniel Jeremiah on NFL.com has him as #2 overall.
TheDraftNetwork has Pitts #2 overall as well.
PFF has Pitts rated 5th, ahead of Chase.
ProFootballNetwork has him at 4th overall.

The comparison is a safer Darren Waller, who has put up an average of 1170 yards and 6 TDs each season since given a full-time starting role with the Raiders.

NFL Analyst Matt Bowen compared Pitts to Plaxico Burress, which is a fair comparison due to size, but Pitts is actually faster and heavier than Plax.

He has the versatility to play inline TE, in the slot, and even outside WR, as he did with Florida.

Let's get the hype back up for this guy!!

   

I just don't understand it.  His blocking is something that is said could "be developed", as in it clearly isn't developed now.  If you are going to play him outside or as a big slot, then just say he is a WR and be done with it, but I simply don't see the deep ball explosiveness and agility that I see with the top 3 WRs (in an admittedly stacked WR class).  I would put him as the 4th best receiving prospect.  

I sure hope Atlanta takes him, but as I have mentioned a number of times, I don't think he is a good fit for a team that lives in 11 personnel more than any other team in the league.  

That doesn't mean I don't respect the guy or think "he sucks" or anything stupid like that.  I just have him behind both Chase and Sewell.
