Kyle Pitts is one of the most talented players in the concept. Let us make no mistake about it. But as we study and map Pitts’ 2020 season, it becomes clear that NFL teams should strongly consider moving him to Tight End’s Wide Receiver. This is a solution for maximizing Pitts’ skill set, but it also raises other questions: is Pitts the best wide receiver in the class?
Would his draft inventory drop if he moved to the deeper WR position? Does he lose his full potential when he moves to a less influential position? These are all important questions that NFL teams need to answer, and in this video I go through why he should consider changing positions in the first place.
In most scenarios, the best option is to get the best player. In a 49ers offense, Kyle Pitts would be a nightmare and allow Kyle Shanahan to prescribe what the defense does. The question becomes: is Pitts too much of a luxury choice?
