You put a guy like Pitts in the game, the defense HAS to change what they are doing defensively.  There's no way they can cover him with a linebacker and he's an immediate mismatch for a safety or corner size wise.  He's guy that will take 2 guys to cover in the middle of the field, which should open up the deep routes.   If they don't cheat to cover Pitts, the middle the field will be open all day.  He could do the same thing that Eifert did for this offense when he was healthy.

To me, Pitts is the best player in the draft followed by Lawrence, Sewell and Chase.  I also think he has the biggest impact if he is used correctly.  I also think he has the least downside as I also feel like he's the best WR in the draft.  We won't take him, but he would really take this offense to another dimension.

Recently I've seen Pitts labeled as an "OW" Offensive Weapon. He can line up in every receiving position on the field and can be moved pre snap. Some people are labeling him a TE and trying to compare position stats and that is just the wrong way to look at a prospect like Kyle Pitts. You cannot google your answer.

The possibilities with a player like Pitts in your lineup are endless and will dictate how the rest of the Divison builds their Defense. This cannot be understated.
