Isn’t this a chicken and egg kind of thing? Why would anybody install a receiving TE-centric offense around the bush league TE’s the Bengals have had the last two years. I don’t expect Pitts to be a Bengal, but I am off the belief he is unlike any TE I have seen come out -ever. I agree with the anonymous NFL scout, if there is one guy who he would pick to get the HOF in this draft class, it’s Pitts.

That’s exactly what a couple of guys did in 1981. They saw a player so extreme that they would be fools NOT to do some re-engineering. The player was LT. The DC was Bill Parcels and the LB coach was Bill Belichick. LT changed the game.
And LT was the second player drafted. LT was about a near unanimous lock to be #1. Bum Phillips’ excuse later in life basically said he was “comfortable” with his LB’s.
