Gator TE runs 4.46

[CouchCoach]

He was already top 6 but this might make some team go up for him. The first trade up might not be a for a QB.

 

[Hardline]

Position value may still work in your favor. Teams may pass going for the OT's and WR's

Its a gleem of hope

Thanks for talking me off the ledge.

If Chase is there at 10 do we grab him or let him slip by??

Thats the scenario that you dont want to see happen, but if you cant move down and Chase is your best player then you draft
Chase and figure it out.

I think he's anywhere from 6 to I guess 10....A lot of teams in the top 10 need offensive lines and QB's and receivers. Its crazy because Dolphins have Gesicki so you just have to wonder if they'd pull the trigger to go two tight end sets or ship Gesicki out.

True but remember their HC is from Belichick's tree...... seems his offense and Brady always had TWO high-level TEs. So it would not surprise me at all to see them pull the trigger for this with the 3rd overall pick. Also, read a tweet keep an eye on the Falcons at 4.

They also just spent a 1st last year on their starting LT, so I dont think they would want to direct that much future cap in the same position, they will either go QB if they think one is better than Tua, or they go wr/Pitts.

A low 4.5 would put him in the 90th-95th percentile among tight ends, so consider the "elite speed" box checked.

For comparison, Derrick Henry ran a 4.52 at 247, and he is obviously hazardous to the health of every guy in the back seven. Pitts measured out pretty similarly.

Claypool ran a 4.42 at the same weight (238).

Fix the OL and DL. In the Superbowl, I watched a team with a pretty good TE and the fastest WR and one of the best QB's take a beating because their OL sucked.

Our o-line was wrecked by injuries........ Chiefs o-line was also depleted due to injuries.

Damn and Falcons just traded for Hayden from the Ravens right?

The Chiefs OL was decimated by injury...

It's good to have starters and depth in the trenches. Having depth on OL and DL allows an injury or 2 without missing a beat. Otherwise you trot out Chaz Green and Terence Steele as your OTs

One of my favorite young WRs last year,, Claypool has a ceiling that almost cant be seen.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

I think Pitts ran this time at his training facility without scouts on hand. If that’s the case I would almost guarantee he doesn’t run at Florida’s Pro Day later this month.

This is what folks are missing. A lot of these times coming out are from workouts EXOS is holding for their athletes and NFL scouts are not allowed to attend. They publish the 40 times. Do you think for one second if there’s a range of times that they are going to put out the average or even worst time?

 

[cowboyschmps3]

Florida TE Kyle Pitts ran a 4.46 40

the young man is 6’6” 240lbs

Ceedee Lamb 6’2”, 200lbs. Ran a 4.5 40

Oh man

 

[bodi]

I 'd take him and then cb or dt or lber

I know. My point was even though you have superstars at the skill positions, they aren't worth squat if the QB is on his back.

 

[Zekeats]

He’s a monster. I really don’t see of us having s chance at him. He’s going to go top 6-7 I believe.

I don’t see how the bengals could pass him up even if they need oline. Wouldn’t you love to give a young qb an inside weapon like that?

 

[Rayman70]

he ran the same time essentially as Surtain today...wow...Dudes a freak.

 

[Parcells4Life]

We heard all this hype about Vernon Smith too. He ran a 4.38. He was good but he didn’t single handedly change a franchise.

Exactly!

Yeah, if Howie continues to pass on star wideouts, he’s going to get run out of town on a rail.

His WR picks have been atrocious. He needs his own CeeDee or Jefferson to get that fan base off of his butt. When the media are doing all of these mocks showing Philly taking Pitts, they aren’t taking into consideration the pressure Howie feels about the WR position. They’re just going on how talented Pitts is.

Not to mention, Howie spent a second on Goedert recently and traded away his QB that loved to throw to TE’s.

It certainly doesn’t rule out them taking Pitts... but it points to them going in another direction.

Pitts is a similar athlete to Vernon Davis... but he is a way, way better football player than Vernon ever was.

Davis was hyped because of his combine numbers, while Pitts is hyped because of how good he is at football.... and his freaky athleticism.
