If Jordy Nelson entered the draft as a TE, dude would have been a GENERATIONAL TALENT THAT ANYONE WOULD BE CRRRRAAAAAAZZZZZZZZYYYYYYY to pass on. But Jordy was a WR and a decent one.

Depsite being (slightly over) 3 inches taller and almost 30 pounds heavier, Pitts is faster can jump higher than Nelson did, and is two years younger. I would include that he's stronger too, or that his wingspan is ridiculous but Jordan Nelson doesn't have those numbers available from his combine.
Fwiw, I somewhat understand your point (that if he can't block then he's just a huge WR) but this seems like a poor comparison. If anything, it only further strengthens the argument that Kyle Pitts is a very unique type of prospect.
