Kiper: Kyle Pitts is my highest graded TE ever

[Beaker42]

Agreed. I kind of hope he's available at 44

Shoot, we might need to take him at 10......

 

[Beaker42]

To effectively use Pitts you got to line him up all over the field to create mismatches. Problem is, who are you taking off the field: Cooper, Lamb, Gallup to do this?

LOL - none of them. He gets their 1 then CeeDee and Coop and Gallup have career days.

 

[Aven8]

Agreed. I kind of hope he's available at 44

If he’s that good, Bill already knows all about it from his buddy Nick and he will go at 15.

 

[Risen Star]

I would.

 

[Aven8]

Yeah I'd have to dig out my old books but I'm pretty positive he had Manning at 1. I know this because I had Leaf over Manning.

Biggest miss I've ever made obviously but how the heck was I supposed to know how immature he was back then? It wasn't like the coverage we have today.

I was with you on Manning. He could not beat Florida. Hell it took him his entire career to beat NE for that matter.

 

[Risen Star]

Now Jimmy Clausen? That's one Mel would like to have back. That was a horrific evaluation.

 

[Future]

Please define “same thing” because I’m positive none of the 42 TE’s on our roster can do the “same thing” as Pitts.

That's because most of what he did in college is just what WRs do in the NFL.

No he did his top 25 last Saturday on his ESPN radio show. It was Elway and then Manning. He admitted the Leaf whiff but he had two bigger ones. Andre Ware and Heath Schuler.

I meant #1 in that draft class.

Let's don't get carried away, he isn't the #1 receiving option if he were on the Cowboys.

How do you know? As inaccurate as Dak is this kid’s right up his alley. Catches everything. You are aware we led the entire league in drops??

Pitts is basically a big receiver, he is good, but not a #1 receiver on a team like the Cowboys.

 

[Gaede]

Good point

 

[Gaede]

I would.

Really does depend on how this contract situation goes. If we still can't reach a long-term deal with Dak, we've got to consider QB. And of all the QBs that might be available at 10--Jones, Lance, Fields--Jones is the only one I seriously consider

None of the above.
You take out Jarwin
or Shultz.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

as much as I may like him, how much more do we want to add to offense. the only way I may consider is if we can trade Gallup for a 2nd....then adding pitts would be OK.

I assure you my ability to negotiate a new contract with Dak Prescott would play no part in it.

I wouldnt even know if I could. I'd never try.

You wouldn't need to with Pitts being the TE assuming they are in a 1 back set. If you are moving him outside against a CB you aren't running and have no need for another TE inside and if you did sub in another TE you would just be letting the defense sub in to counteract the mismatch.

Then teams bring on another corner, where the TE inline, may have another linebacker to protect against the run.

I think you can almost make the same case for taking Pitts as you can for taking Chase.


You’re basically locking in trading or letting Gallup go to FA.

Pitts’ versatility would make him TE1 / WR3.
