The Bengals need better play outside the hash marks too.
With a guy like Pitts, you could keep Uzomah or Sample inline with Boyd in the slot and have Pitts out wide. Or have a smaller, fast, quick receiver inside along with Boyd.
The intent of a guy like Pitts is that he's so diverse that he can literally play anywhere and will always be a threat. There's a ton of value in that.

We as in those that wants best for the team, and you don't want him to be "just-a-middle-of-the-field guy," but you definitely want that as a possibility to widen the field and make the defense guard more field.  You have receivers for the outside, but a tight end that can go outside or inside and catch balls in traffic within fifteen yards and be a physical presence opens things up so much for the receivers on the outside and also makes Burrow's life a lot easier.
