When I see Pitts skillset he reminds me of Shannon Sharpe, but better hands and more elusive. We could use both he and Mike Gesicki to create mismatches all over the field.

Dude is so polished and slippery, amazing hands. I love how he catches the ball with defenders hanging all over him. He creates an odd amount of separation for a TE on his routes.

Normally I know TE's don't go real high, but I'm seeing Mocks with him even in the top 5. He has one of the best WR/TE highlights that I've ever seen and believe me when I say I've watched thousands of them over the years coaching. I think he is as close to a sure thing as you can draft.

Love Love Love this guy.

Plus if we draft a kid like Pitts he and Gesicki not only create all kinds of mismatches for our passing game but we also get a little bigger and stronger blocking for the running game having more two TE sets using these guys. I'm not saying they are great blockers but we'd get more upfield from them than we would with WR's blocking.

The more I think about what Pitts could do for us the more I move him up on my wish list. He may very well be the best receiver available IMO.

I wouldn't freak out at all if we drafted this TE Pitts at 3 overall, because he can also line up in the slot and out wide. He's a rare type of player. He's the kind of player that can transform an offense by all the mismatches he creates. I think it's pretty obvious that he is one of the best receivers (if not the best) in this draft. His size and hands are definitely special, and he runs fantastic routes and creates all kinds of separation!

A nice write up on taking Pitts at #3 overall

And don't forget there will absolutely be a stud WR around at 18... Maybe even Smith or Waddle.

Pitts + Smith or Waddle at 3 and 18 takes away all the excuses for Coordinators and QB's

More Pitts hype
 
I'd take him but only in a trade down scenario. Chase > Pitts. If we trade out of the top 5, I have no issue.
 
I think at this point my preference is for a trade down to 8 with Carolina or 12 with San Fran (if they're desperate to trade up for a QB depending on how the board falls) and then pull the trigger on Pitts. I think I'd take him over any of the top three WRs.

Great comparison. I think he might actually be better, depending on usage, team etc.
 
I’m good with Pitts as I don’t even consider him a TE but more of a big receiver and wouldn’t even waste him on inline blocking.

The only issue is that we have a roster of big guys so at some point we probably have to come back and get a Waddle type of player.
