From the episode

Kyle Pitts is going at his floor, which is, oh, like what? The 85th overall pick... if you look at the second half of the season, the top two tight ends behind Trey McBride were what? Colston Loveland and Kyle Pitts.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Pitts at 85th overall is a floor value pick after elite late-season tape.

Pitts is falling to the 85th overall pick despite ranking as the second-best tight end behind Trey McBride in the second half of last season; the source notes he's just 25 years old and tight ends typically peak in their late twenties to mid-thirties (Kelsey, Kittle, Tony Gonzalez, Antonio Gates), suggesting he's buying the dip on a generational prospect who flashed elite tape late last season after years of poor quarterback play (Desmond Ritter, washed Matt Ryan, Kirk Cousins off Achilles, Michael Penix as rookie, Taylor Heineke, Marcus Mariota).
