Why would anyone take Pitts over Smith?

You typically get more production overall from a WR than a TE...Pitts is likely to battle lower leg injuries his entire career ala Megatron due to his height.

I would bet the majority of NFL teams(if not all of them)would and will take Pitts ahead of Smith in about a month.

Let's just hope that is the case for us. The moment if it comes to pass that we end up picking Smith, and he ends up being a bust for us with injuries is the moment our front office deserves to be fired. Now I am a believer in the draft pick God so I doubt that will happen. I don't see Grier drafting someone like Pitts. We just didn't traded up for nothing.
 
I think smith ran a 4.49 on record as incoming freshman.... compare that to Chase's 4.66 at same time period. I would think both players have improved their speed over last couple of years. If we are worried about speed... or lack of it... then we should be questioning Chase right? I actually love all 4 of Pitts, Chase, Smith and Waddle. I think they all four bring something different to table. Chase might be safest pick... he doesn't run away from people but is a beast out there... the ball is his.... and YAC is probably best of all 4. The only thing that Smith doesn't do better (watching film) then Chase is out muscle guys at line of scrimmage (he is a master of giving them nothing to touch). Nobody tries to be overly physical because if they miss he is gone. Pitts... he does things I've really never seen guys that size do... it's great to be in a position that we are in!

At 140 lbs i could run a 4.2 easily. So chase running a 4.6 at his body mass is great.
 
lol... yeah he is a different build. Not a lot of guys his weight have been successful besides Marvin. Sometimes the sunmis greater than the parts though. The kid plays every play like he is trying to prove you and everyone that doubts him wrong.
