LAD_Brooklyn Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 I sense many posters reacting dismissive to the idea of trading down and acquiring a stud prospects along with acquiring premium draft picks to build up this bottom 5 of a roster. Recency bias has cause many poster who didn't validate Fields or Wilson from poor performances (Northwestern, Coastal Carolina) to now placed them on a pedestal (shout out to those who rocked with them from the beginning). But there's a stud out there named Kyle Pitts, whos talent is worth passing up a QB 2nd overall, while acquiring more picks and possibly drafting a QB later on with the 2nd pick 1st if they truely want to move on from Darnold at all cost. Pitts is arguably a top 3 talent in the draft as well as the best receiving target. He'll definitely do wonders for who evers under center. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerfish Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 oj howard. Okay just joking. I like pitts a lot but he is not worth compromising a total plan to get. He is not going to be there for us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k-met57 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Can’t pass on Smith or Chase for a TE no mater how good. I do agree he is a beast. I read today he had no drops this year...guy was certainly targeted. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds of Shannon Sharpe and if you told me that’s what the Jets would get I’d still be skeptical drafting him because I don’t think Sharpe by himself could help the Jets enough.

We're not getting Pitts by himself. We're getting a haul of picks to go with him. This could include second, thirds and future picks and players. A team like the Panthers (or Broncos who pick behind them) can load off the 8th, 39th, 73rd along with next season's 1st rounder and 2nd rounder.

Skeet Ulrich Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 I love Pitts - I am not drafting him at 2. He's been mocked to go anywhere from 5-8 so I don't think there's a fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thai Jet Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Call me old fashioned but I'd pass on him for quitting on his team at Florida's bowl game. Football, IMHO, is the ultimqate team sport. How the hell do you tell your team mates " hey good luck but I going to do my own thing" . Just don't care for that "It's all about me" mind set.

bostonmajet Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 I don't watch a lot of college football, but after seeing 3 Florida games, I have been wanting this guy all year. I agree if we trade down (maybe twice) and could land him, it would be an amazing draft. The real question is what will we get for the trade down? If it isn't at least a 2nd this year and a 1st next year and 2023 it may not be worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This....he might be worth the No2 overall pick....if people think Sewell is worth taking at 2 (a one year winder who hasn’t played in a year and who plays a position we used the 11th overall pick on last year) then why the hell wouldn’t you consider Pitts. He’s Julio Jones/Megatron....when he runs a 4.38 at the combine at 240 + it’ll get tasty. The question is whether he’s actually a TE or not?....does he do any inline blocking? Totally agree he might be the best WR in the draft 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boynton Beach Jets Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Unfortunately he will be drafted between 8-15 which is not a fit, The only way I can see it is to trade SF Sam Darnold and a third for SF 1st. Think he is the next great TE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree he might be the best WR in the draft I wouldn't label him a traditional TE. More so an H- back/receiver. He's 6'6, 239 lbs, Claybool is 6'4, 238 lbs. So Pitts is definitely leaner and quicker. Yes Pitts has a couple more months to display what weight he wants to be listed as. But going from what we know, we have to tag him as a receiver at 239. From a size stand point, that definitely sits on tier with Megatron. I see Pitts running near 4.49 however. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

football guy Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Pitts is a guy who bares watching. Jets FO has a lot of connections to the Florida program and Douglas has a strong affinity for the TE position. We know Douglas prioritizes the offensive- and defensive-lines, but I really wonder what he would do if successfully traded down and was staring at a top WR and a TE like Pitts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You lost me on this one, who said anything about a TE and S? Not even trying to agrue or debate but more so trying to piece things together. You think Pitts won't make a difference as a receiver because you view him as a TE but where'd the Safety part come into this? Plus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
