I already told you I consider Pitts to be a fantastic prospect, and I already explained that I didn't include him in my "blue chip" list because TEs are so rarely taken in Top 10. I also said I'd take him if picking outside Top 5. I remember OJ Howard being in a similar discussion as a Top 10 pick, but he ultimately fell all the way to 19th overall. Eifert was considered by many to be picked around 10-15 but fell to 21st overall. The reason is because while the talent is there, teams picking earlier likely have bigger needs that they go for a more premium position than TE.

Not really trying to argue, just pointing out why I think he’s worth taking that high compared to most TE’s.

I saw where’s he’s also the highest rated pass catcher in the PFF era (since 2014). So it’s really not much different than taking a WR.
