Re: Kyle Pitts
All this historical data makes total sense. I completely get that I’m playing with fire considering him at 1.8 in my rookie draft. But MAN he looks incredible, if there ever was a player to buck the historical trend pitts feels like the guy.
But once again all of your data makes total sense. I feel like that Larry David gif. I’ll probably take him at 1.8 and it will blow up in my face. YOLO

Re: Kyle Pitts
1.08 is absolutely worth the risk, I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't make it that far. I'm strongly considering taking him at 1.05 in a 1QB non TE Premium league, and making a move up to 1.02 or 1.03 in a SF 2TE/TE Premium league (I have 1.01 and taking Lawrence) to get him, because I know 1.04 owner is taking him if he makes it that far.GregOfTheDead wrote: ↑Sat Dec 12, 2020 8:12 am All this historical data makes total sense.

Re: Kyle Pitts
Hey, if you have a team you feel good about with no concernable flaws, and you're in a position to take a BPA like Pitts at 1.08, then go for it. There's absolutely a ton of upside there. He's one of my favorite prospects in this class, even with my concerns about spending a 1st on a TE traditionally.GregOfTheDead wrote: ↑Sat Dec 12, 2020 8:12 am All this historical data makes total sense.

Re: Kyle Pitts
End of the day you do you. I remember when Tebow came out and a friend asked me much the same questions about reaching for him. I listed all the things that said he would likely not do well and 2.10 was worth the risk/reward but she didn't want to wait. She said wasn't much she wanted and though I encouraged her to at least trade back for an early 2 to mitigate things if it blew up she didn't and grabbed him at 1.10. I didn't even "I told you so" her just consoled her at the next draft. You already decided you are taking him there before you started this thread you just want some people to make you feel better about the choice. All good if he's Gronk 2.0 you are brilliant.

Re: Kyle Pitts
I get this, but 1.08 is probably about where Pitts ends up going. A weaker RB class, and the top WR's will be gone by then. Taking a shot on the top TE when he looks as good as he does isn't crazyYarnith wrote: ↑Sat Dec 12, 2020 11:36 am End of the day you do you.

Re: Kyle Pitts
I’m strongly considering taking him at 2.2 in a 12 team SF, but there r guys who i must take over him if they r available. Remember what Bruce Lee said, “be like water”. In this case i guess i’m urging people to be fluid in their draft strategy. You got your desires, then u got your needs, but most importantly u may be staring down some exceptional talent in those first 20ish picks (especially in sf) that it would be a shame to reach past...

Re: Kyle Pitts
I think it’s just incredibly hard to evaluate the position in rookie drafts- these guys have to learn to do so much. I’d rather see if I could acquire Noah Fant or Dallas Goedert, the two guys I think could explode with improved QB play, than devote significant assets to a rookie TE.

Re: Kyle Pitts
100% although those two would have to be ranked higher than Pitts at this point.OhCruelestRanter wrote: ↑Sat Dec 12, 2020 12:54 pm I think it’s just incredibly hard to evaluate the position in rookie drafts- these guys have to learn to do so much.

I dont like drafting TEs in the 1st, but depending on the clarity of these draft picks I might be forced to in some TE premium leagues
Re: Kyle Pitts
At this point, yes but it's close. I mean who is giving a mid 1st for either of those guys? Which has some to do with this draft class but more to do with the overall state of the TE position... It's usually better to let someone else pick the TE in the 1st value wise. I imagine you could trade the pick for a better TE or package it for a much better playerSriracha wrote: ↑Sat Dec 12, 2020 1:16 pm100% although those two would have to be ranked higher than Pitts at this point.OhCruelestRanter wrote: ↑Sat Dec 12, 2020 12:54 pm I think it’s just incredibly hard to evaluate the position in rookie drafts- these guys have to learn to do so much.

In a TE premium league those players are worth more than a 1st, easily.Jigga94 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 12, 2020 2:26 pmAt this point, yes but it's close.

Re: Kyle Pitts
Yea, I’m staying away from every TE in the 1st in non-TE premium leagues.

Re: Kyle Pitts
I love Pitts as a prospect. I won't draft him in my main leagues as I think I could get a TE for less that is still young and can produce sooner, prime example being someone like Mike Gesicki.
That said, I am in enough leagues and have enough 1sts that I will absolutely be taking a shot on him somewhere because it will be fun to follow him as he enters the league. A have a few rebuilds with 3 or 4 firsts where I can afford to take a chance on him.
