Draft Note by John Paulsen
Pitts has finished TE13 and TE14 the past two seasons, and while those are usable numbers in today’s tight end landscape, it’s hard to shake the sense that he’s being underutilized. His 2024 campaign was particularly frustrating—Michael Penix targeted him on just 9.5% of his pass attempts, a rate that trailed not just Drake London and Bijan Robinson, but also Darnell Mooney and Ray-Ray McCloud. That doesn't bode well considering Kirk Cousins targeted Pitts more frequently (14.1%). Pitts remains a great athlete, but his role hasn’t evolved since his promising rookie season. With questions around quarterback consistency and a crowded target tree, he looks like a low-ceiling TE2 until we see a tangible shift in usage.
