Pitts defenders laud his receiving grades. And, yup, they're solid. But... the dude is a TE. If Jordy Nelson entered the draft as a TE, dude would have been a GENERATIONAL TALENT THAT ANYONE WOULD BE CRRRRAAAAAAZZZZZZZZYYYYYYY to pass on. But Jordy was a WR and a decent one. 

Pitts is a decent WR who got played as a TE and the hype is that he's a GENERATIONAL TALENT THAT ANYONE WOULD BE CRRRRAAAAAAZZZZZZZZYYYYYYY to pass on.

Pitts blocking isn't super impressive. He looks like a WR blocking someone who has 50+ lbs on him.

Pitts put up 770-12 in just 8 games, 1 of which he got hurt in, so he didn't even play the whole game.
If he had been able to play the full 13 games, he was projected at 1251 yards and 19 TDs.
If he had exceeded 1000 yards and 15 TDs (which would have been extremely likely), people wouldn't even be thinking twice about him at 5.

Stop focusing on the blocking. He's a willing blocker and decent at it. Also, the era of a premiere blocking TE is outdated. Get a better OL and you don't need your TE to block all the time.
