If an opportunity presents itself to trade Pitts in a deal to get into the top 10 for a QB or in a deal to get draft assets to help us move up should we take it?
I really like this QB class and prefer Daniels. Unfortunately it seems pretty clear Daniels will rise up draft boards and probably end up in the top 8. I don’t think Pitts will fetch a first, but he can probably net a couple of day 2 picks. Personally I’m not sold on Pitts development as a TE or WR. A change of scenery might do him good at this point. We should have two seconds when ridley is extended or tagged. I like getting a deep threat in the second round of a deep WR class. I like Xavier Worthy or Brian Thomas. I ran a mock where I moved up to get Daniels at 5, Thomas in the second, and a safety in the second.
Where are people at on Pitts development and the idea of trading him?

Well yeah. I am no expert but it seems like playing 50% of the snaps and getting a token 2-3 catches a game isnt really fully utilizing #4 draft pick capital.
I will say this: with another year to get healthy and a quality NFL starter, I think Pitts is an All Pro level receiving TE. I’d keep him another year to see how his knee is next year…just need the quality QB
It’s a catch 22 with the injury and QB situation. Right now he seems like a depreciating asset
You dont need a great knee to play 50% of the snaps and run long developing routes that dont work with lousy pass pro and terrible plays/route concepts.
It would help if he had someone to throw to him. We probably won’t get a 1st for him so why bother. If we could get a qb for him I’d do it but I don’t see that happening
Could see us doing the DJ Moore type package last year if Ridder doesn’t turn out. Trade Pitts, 1st, 2nd, and maybe a few late rounders to get into the top 5?
That’s what I’m thinking. Or move Pitts to a contender for some picks we then use to get the QB
