A Great Argument for drafting TE Pitts at #3 overall

[DOLFANMIKE]

I agree with this article 100%. Pitts at #3 overall IF we can't trade back.

He just ran a 4.46 at his pro day

also, it had been discussed for hundreds of pages. Don’t think any of us would be mad with Pitts

Can’t say I disagree but use to think we could move back a few spots and get him but the last time I checked Florida’s Pro Day is 3/31 and if he breaks 4.6 everyone is going to freak out and he will be Top 5.

That’s not his Pro Day but damn!

Would not mind Pitts at all even at #3

Florida’s pro day I believe is March 31st.

I've been resistant to him that high, but the more I read and think about it, it makes a ton of sense. There are obviously lots of talented WRs you can grab later on, but there's nobody else like Pitts later on.

There is no TE in this draft worthy of the #3 pick. If you want Pitts trade back and then take him later.

Wow

i think the best argument for Pitts is to have a similar 2 tight end offense as the Patriots now have. have heard the arguments on NFL network for 2 tight end sets and with Pitts and Gesicki the tandem would be rather unstoppable! This is a copycat league...and in closing I am only in favor of this if we trade back - not by drafting him at #3

There's no TE ever that's worth a #3 pick. If they were actually a Calvin Johnson freak they wouldn't be playing TE in the first place.

The more i think about things, the more I feel like Pitts is the only logical option if we can't find a trade-back partner. I know Sewell and Chase are the more popular choices here, but super young guys with ONE YEAR of tape (and Sewell against questionable competition in the PAC12), who haven't played a snap of football in over a year and a half? I'm sorry, but if I'm picking a non-QB at #3 overall, it better be as close to a SURE THING as you can get.

If only it were that simple. Someone below us like the eagles could be salivating over this guy. No way to know if he’ll still be there. If Grier believes there’s a sizable gap between pitts and their next favorite guy then you almost have to take him here unless we’re offered a kings ransom for the 3rd pick.

Doesn't Pitts only have one year of tape that's telling you "sure thing" as well? Dude had 649 yards and 5 TDs in 13 games last year.

The article makes a ton of sense and it's fun to dream on the redzone combo of Pitts and Gesicki. Not to mention Parker.
