This whole thread was started because the op has Pitts in a gold jacket already and as if it's already been determined the FO wants him.I find these conversations so interesting.
Some fans get so enamored or obsessed with certain players the draft will be disappointing if we don't take their guy.
Yet, most of the top talents all have question marks for me.
Let me say, I would take any of these players at 6. I just don't understand the disappointment if we don't get a certain 1.
Pitts- its purely speculation and potential. His on field production certainly isn't the reason he is a "generational talent" he played great last season but, with many players opting out, I wonder how good he would of been if no one opted out.
Smith- size is a big concern. Also, same as Pitts, played in a year with opt outs.
Waddle- unfortunately the injury is a huge concern.
Sewell- very simple, he opted out. We are basing our analysis on the prior season. He very well could have been average last season had he played.
Chase- same as sewell.
3 players produced at elite level when they played imo. Chase, Sewell and Smith.
However, all have enough questions marks for me to say none are clearly the "obvious or can't miss" player.
Personally, I would go for production ( chase, Sewell or Smith) over potential (pitts or Waddle)
Also, I would shy away from those that opted out.
This is why Smith is my pick at 6. However, I personally believe Sewell would help our team the most.
Once again, any one of these players would be great additions to our team. I would not be upset with drafting any of them.
My order is Smith, Sewell,Chase, Pitts than Waddle.
If Pitts get drafted 6th I will still be happy.
I don't get so attached to one player I would be devastated if we don't draft them
I'm like you with 3 or 4 players I would love at 6. I'm not sitting on one guy then he's either not available at 6 or they pass on him.
I'm sure the FO traded back to 6 because they are targeting 3 or 4 and not just Pitts.
