The Kyle "Is not the" Pitts Thread

[Pac_Eddy]

Saw a comment in the Team Advice forum that made me think. A guy was considering trading Godwin for Travis Kelce straight up and debating the pros and cons.

It's far easier to draft or replace WR production than elite TE production. Even if the odds of hitting on Pitts are lower, the reward may be higher just from the scarcity of high producing TEs. Landing spot will be a decent size factor for me. This draft season is going to be fun.

I can't see how anyone doesn't take Pitts after Harris, ETN, Williams, Smith, and Chase. I have the 1.07 and 1.08 (superflex) and am not sure he'll make it to me.

That’s 5 prospects not to mention the QBs. At least 3 look to be going top 5 with 2 others likely in the 1st.

I agree that an elite TE is harder to replace. Problem is there isn’t many, I’d say 3 in kelce, kittle, Waller. None of which were drafted in the 1st. TE seems more of a crapshoot than anything

In the not to distance future many you guys will realize a 6'5" player with a huge catch radius and great routes that is only 0.06 slower than 6.0' Chase in 40 yards is going to change the landscape of what many are stuck in the mud lumping him in with just any old TE.

The fact that there are so few of this type special athlete should drive up his price point NOT down.

Interesting side note, Pitt's wingspan of 83 inches is longer than any WR or TE measured at the combine in 20 years.

He’s an amazing prospect. TE is just a hard position to predict. That’s all I’m saying

Sure, but if you're going to take a shot on a TE, you'll need to take him in the second half of the first, and I'm fine doing that.

Assuming these numbers dont drastically change once the consensus 40 time is reached; Pitts is probably the best TE prospect since Vernon Davis.

Floor is a mid TE1 with superstar potential... I’m going to be aggressively targeting him in TE premium, I’ll be happy to gobble up a QB or RB in non TE premium leagues instead

Just traded for 1.01 in a league I already had acquired 1.02. Right now I would take Chase and Pitts.

I like don't love the RBs...Chase and Pitts are straight up freaks. Give me the freaks.

*landing spots could still affect this take

I had 1.01 and just traded for 1.02, I'm planning on Chase/Pitts too.

Yep. It's just obvious to me they are the best players in this draft. I hold 1.03 in another league and am slightly worried they will both be gone. These are all TE premium leagues.

What you’re saying makes perfect sense. My problem with that though is the history of predicting fantasy relevant TE is absolutely atrocious. Have we all of a sudden figured it out, or is Pitts just a once in a lifetime type of prospect? The positional scarcity is a big factor, but so is the risk of trusting TE evaluations.

Love this strategy.

Cripes this thread has changed my mind 9 times. I dunno where to rank this guy anymore.

Tell me about it, I've gone from not drafting him till after the top 6 WRs to drafting him after the QBs/RBs/Chase.
