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!!
Nice thread, hope he gets past the Falcons as he is my pick between the 3. Pitts, then Sewell, then Chase but would be happy
with any of the 3. I just think Pitts can be special and we can get some really good OL starters in the 2nd to 4th round in this
Draft.
A WR/TE which I think is how he should be described not a TE that is 6'6" can run a 4.44 forty, runs crisp routes with great
hands is extremely rare. Just like Waller except Waller had off field problems which Pitts hasn't had. Calvin Johnson, Plax and
Waller mix. Crazy talent.
