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.

That is a better comparison than those that try to make him out to be the next Calvin Johnson, but you glossed over an important stat:  the short shuttle.  If you are going to talk about his 10 yard split being barely faster than Chase, you have to acknowledge that he is a full .36 seconds slower than Chase, who is the fastest in that measure in the entire draft.  

Short area quickness and explosiveness (vertical, plus the speed) are two things that Chase also has well over Pitts.  

Again, to be clear, I think Pitts is a great prospect, but I like Chase better for this team.
