For that reason, I say take the generational talent in Pitts.
Chase is a wonderful prospect, but he isn't generational and he has some risk associated with him (will his high point ball game translate to the NFL when he's only 6'0" tall? Will he learn better routes to get more separation? Will he actually care about the plays that aren't tailor made to go to him?) and Slater is a bit of a reach by most people's considerations (he's on the edge for me. I'd take him in a heart beat in a trade down though).
Ive been banging the table for Pitts for months now.
Theres a old saying "you cant teach size"
He is 6'6 and runs routes like a WR.
His routes are precise not rounded off.
Imagine if he was a Bengal and he is spilt out like a WR.
You.can still use Sample as a TE and have him block
Now you got Boyd Higgins and Pitts on the field.
What CB can take on a 6'6 target that is a already a good route
Runner?
