Folks hold lack of TDs against Pitts. Is that really his fault?
The argument was that they already had Higgins and Boyd so they didn’t need another WR. They made the right choice because all things being equal the stud WR is a better pick than the stud TE.
Who knows how good Kelce would be if the Chiefs had Justin Jefferson and Tee Higgins? He just wouldn’t get nearly the number of targets that he does. He’d still be great but wouldn’t have those stats.
Sure Chase greatly benefits from being on the Bengals but he was the better pick for sure. Pitts reminds me a little of Vernon Davis - another freak athlete who was supposed to be a unicorn TE. He was a good player who had a few great seasons but it’s guys like Kittle and Kelce who are the HOFers.
I will always be thankful to Atlanta for taking the wrong guy.
