I mean taking a TE at 4 is questionable but I still think he’s good. Just a shame about scheme. He’s definitely more of a receiver which is probably more acceptable at 4

Lmao, oh so now this sub says it was a terrible pick.

I knew this regime was a failure when they took a TE at #4. Pitts was way over-drafted and projected too high by scouts all because of his measurables and wingspan.

His 1000 yard season wasn’t even that impressive considering it was a 17 game season and a big chunk of his yardage came from 3 games — 2 of which were against the worst teams in football.

He seems like a humble, nice dude based on all the interviews I’ve seen, but he is not a revolutionary player and Smith certainly does him no favors.

Just a thought…

Every one of our recent draft picks has been labeled a possible bust or over draft since ridder became QB…

Only difference

Well we’ll finally have our player in the “biggest busts in the nfl” lists you always see online

He’d be what Kelce is rn if he was in KC. He’s not a shit player. We literally need to treat him like the best damn player on the field

I don’t see why it can’t be both. The personnel responsible for drafting players know a hell of a lot more than me, so there’s probably several good reasons why it’s very rare to have a TE drafted that high.

But also, draft position has almost nothing to do with a player’s strengths not being highlighted by coaching decisions.

We need a true and good delivery system to really judge any of our offense, aside from running backs witch it seems AS simply goes run and sometimes it works and other times it doesn’t.

Pitts is a top tier receiver. Mediocre TE because he’s not great at blocking. He would do much better on a better team. The falcons suck

Both

Taking a TE that high when, Jamar chase, micha, Devonta smith, Jaylen waddle, Penie Sewell, Patrick Surtain, were taking right after. AND taking an RB, over an elite defensive linemen. Is why we will be a poverty franchise for decades

Alittle of both, I think being 4th overall was alittle high but he wasn’t falling out the top 15 for damn sure. That being said, Smith’s schemes and playcall and groupings might be bottom 5 in the league. TJ H. In Minnesota being a perfect example, he is schemed open alot, with no Jefferson and 3 different QBs this season. Can’t blame Ridder can’t blame not having enough weapons…the fact that London Pitts robinsob pattersonball are having their snaps limited because he wants so many rotations it downright ignorant on the highest of levels.

Just to dumb this down alittle

We have London who can be a poor man’s Larry Fitz We have Pitts who could be a poor man’s tony g or even tj h in Minnesota We have Robinson who can be barkely Patterson who can be a poor man’s barkley Allgier who runs like devonta freeman Smith who is a poor man’s Antonio gates

And you can’t pull film from these guys best games and scheme up playcalls to get them open why?..

He almost broke the record for rookie te receiving… not saying that he was gonna be the best TE of all time, but it’s very clear that the main reason he has not been a pro bowler every year is due to play calling/ qb play

Little of both but it’s easier to evaluate failure a coach in his 3rd year than a true evaluation of a 3rd year guy coming off a season ending knee injury

There’s only like 3 TEs who could live up to the number 4 pick, but all in all Pitts got hurt and he lost his explosion. I can’t think of an elite explosive college player that kept their explosion all throughout their career.

He could have been playing like Travis Kelce this whole time and he’d still be an overdraft. Idiocy.
