Kyle Pitts is AJ Green as a tight end.

I just read another write up that tends to say the same thing.. does not seem like a great fit for Bengals at #5 with other needs and the type of offense we run...but  disagree...

If you're building players around your scheme rather than build your scheme around the players, you're going to miss out on some great talent.
Great teams like the Patriots have succeeded so much because they've been able to morph the playcalling to their active players each given week.

If the Bengals choose to pass on Pitts because they consider the TE primarily as a blocker and only the 4th or 5th option in the offense, they are doing themselves a disservice. And until they start using the TE more in the passing game, I wouldn't be surprised to see the offense still be in the bottom third of the league.
