In the past, because Pitt wasn't a great (still solid) inline blocker, he would have been knocked down potentially to a 2nd or 3rd round pick in a league that was more worried about the TE being able to block. If you took Travis Kelce at 5, would you be upset? If you took Darren Waller at 5, would you be upset?
The funny thing about all this is I actually don't think Pitts gets to us. If he does, and we pass, he will be in Philly at 6. The league as a whole recognizes this guy is elite, it really isn't even questionable.
As a blocker a wide zone scheme would also play to his strengths even inline... but also blocking feom the as a H-Back, in the slot, and all the way on the boundary.
