Can’t-miss Kyle Pitts may defy NFL Draft 2021 logic
NY Post
The NFL has a Tight End Problem different than the one you think.
Sure, defenses still can’t figure out how to develop linebackers fast enough or cornerbacks big enough to offset the mismatches created by Travis Kelce, George Kittle, Darren Waller, Zach Ertz and the rest of the top tight ends. But the bigger issue is teams are not identifying the correct game-changing weapons in the NFL draft. “It’s because we put too much emphasis on productivity stats,” ESPN analyst Matt Miller of nfldraftscout.com told The Post of how those elite playmakers slipped through the scouting cracks. “When I evaluate tight ends now, let’s focus on traits and not production because it is so scheme-dependent.”
