Pitts is the future at tight end in the nfl, while freiermuth is the old nfl. Tgey really shouldn’t think about going old school right now at this position, because the nfl is adapting.

I agree the NFL is adapting and phasing out these style tight ends, but that's why I think Freiermuth is more valuable.

The way the NFL is adapting is just using tight ends as big receivers, which why wouldn't we just draft a big receiver?  

A traditional tight end still a weapon in the red zone and still makes the defense respect the middle of the field, which is huge for play action.

Other teams will also have troubles preparing for a tight end like Freiermuth because they don't have anyone to mimic him in practice and don't face many like him in any other games.

It gives Burrow the entire field to use as an option and pick where he wants to throw the ball.
