Still hurts

N the people saying we should take Pitts are the same ones who loved the Escobar pick, the Roy Williams trade, and the MO tradeup. MO was too good not to draft also.

I think you can pass on him pretty easily. We have 3 WRs who give you the same matchups on the outside and a TE who can do much of the same down the seam.

I mean everything we talk about with Pitts is exactly what this receiving corps already does.

how Dak really likes to play (Dak n dunk, protect the football, etc) - entirely wrong.

so we just paid 40 mil a year for a dink and dunk qb? sad... if a 40 million qb cant get the ball to pitts somethings wrong.

I'm a defensive guy all the way, but Pitts was a problem for Surtain on the outside. That led me to believe this Pitts guy could be a crazy weapon.

Sidenote: When I watched Pitts I saw this player comp, a mix of: Dez, CeeDee and Patrick Crayton.

So a guy who drops the ball a lot especially in critical times?

Parcells4Life · Mar 18, 2021

People are greatly forgetting what Jarwin can be when used correctly. He was a WR at OKST and moved to TE.

If we didn’t have a seam threat at TE I’d be all for Pitts, but I think you have to give Jarwin a chance based on all the other resources we have and what’s needed.

Pitts may turn this offense into the Chiefs. Or he could be a law of diminishing returns while the defense sits cold.

There is enough juice in this offense. Getting Pitts would be great if we had a competent defense. But if it’s between Surtain and Pitts, I’m going Surtain all day. If it’s Pitts and everyone else I’m trading down.

Haha, no...the way he moves, his body type. I don't think Pitts dropped a pass. Please don't bring up that drop, I couldn't believe it.

Would be nice to go Pitts at 10 and then Stokes in the 2nd round.

Uh, no. I said that's entirely wrong.

The list of all time top 10 TEs isn't good at all.

Vernon Davis is about the only one who lived up to the status.

I've heard plenty about "matchup nightmares" and it just isn't the case when they get to the NFL.

There are plenty of DBs that can handle him.

Not trying to bad mouth the guy.....but when there's literally ONE example of a great TE taken in the top 10 in the history of the league, it makes you pause.

Imagine the Raiders, Chiefs, 49ers offense without Waller, Kelce, Kittle... and picture one of those guys on the Cowboys. Pitts is probably as good if not better than those guys.

Understand the premise but I feel confident there will be trade back options available especially if Pitts, QB, or OL are available at 10. Take the trade back & get multiple good players even though you might be forgoing a monster.

CATCH17 · Mar 18, 2021

Take him and move on unless someone just offers the house for our pick.

Aven8 · Mar 18, 2021

He will be the BPA available at 10 if he makes it and you have to take him. This dude is going to be a nightmare.

None of those guys were anywhere near the prospect Pitts is. Pitts is the Andrew Luck, Peyton Manning, Trevor Lawrence of Tight Ends. His ceiling is past the milky way galaxy.

CouchCoach · Mar 18, 2021

I don't think he hits 6, let alone 10.

There wasn't this much buzz about Gonzalez and he went 1st. This is the most can't miss player in the draft.

I don't see him making it past the teams with young guns like NYJ, CIN or MIA.

Pitts in the Randy Moss in this draft, every team regretted passing on him. Only one gets blamed but they all regretted it.

I do agree with the OP. There are two ways to approach a team with a good O and bad D. Make what's good better and if they could provide the time to Prescott, this would be that O no D wanted to face. Blitzing would be the only way to stop it.

Sydla · Mar 18, 2021

As Jerry continues to screw around in FA adding no real players of value on defense, it seems even crazier that we'd think about taking a TE at 10. If the CBs are gone or you don't think they are any better than a CB you can get later in the round or in the 2nd, then pray like hell someone wants to slide into the 10 spot.

reddyuta · Mar 18, 2021

he is a top 3 player in this draft for me and probably wont make it out of the top 5 picks.

817Gill · Mar 18, 2021

I was on the “no way we draft him” train but I’ve rethought my position lol. I think if we take Pitts, who’s basically a slam-dunk All-Pro, and trade either Gallup or Jarwin then I’m with it.

cnuball21 · Mar 18, 2021

It doesn't sound crazy at all...dude is one of the best players in the draft, is the best TE I can remember and has the potential to win multiple All Pros. Legit, blue chip prospect.

I'd take him over someone like Surtain 10 times out of 10. I have him about 8-10 slots higher as a player so it's not even really a debate even though the need is higher at CB.

IMO...the closer you are to pick 1 the more important talent is over need.

How much better does he make an already high scoring offense? Sure, he may be a great talent but at the end of the day there is some level of value here. What does Pitts give this team? I am a firm believer in largely going BPA over need early in the draft but at some point, you have to assess where you are.

I mean just think about this when you wonder why the defense continues to scuffle year after year. We used a first round pick on Cooper. We used a first round pick on Lamb. We've used first, second and third round picks on building the OL. We used a third round pick on Gallup. We used a Top 5 pick on our TB. And we just gave our QB a massive contract. Now we want to use another first round pick on a pass catcher for an offense already pretty stacked in the passing department?

I am really struggling to wrap my head around how a TE at 10 makes a lot of sense. Granted part of my reasoning is that I am getting tired of almost every season unraveling because the defense just lacks talent and playmakers. I admit that might not be the wisest logic either.

It might sound crazy but Pitts is the guy
