Kyle Pitts has been a topic of discussion this season mainly for his lack of significant production compared to his draft overall, his rookie season, other TE’s in general, etc. So my question to you guys is what do you think Pitts will end up being on the Falcons: do you think he’s falling short due to Arthur’s Smith awful play calling and the generally terrible offense or could Pitts end up being a bust? Or do you think the truth is somewhere in the middle?
If he could actually play TE then it would be an amazing pick. Unfortunately he plays more like a WR and is weak at blocking and gaining tough yardage, and every other role a TE is expected to fill except catching balls.
Since he’s basically a WR we should really be comparing him to other receivers drafted at that level. Julio Jones, Calvin Johnson, AJ Green, Randy Moss, Justin Jefferson, etc. Would you take Kyle Pitts over any of those receivers?
