Get StartedI went Pitts and other. My other is Devonta Smith....cant tell you why...just dont like him. I could be 10000% wrong about him cause i really dont have a good reason why....just dont like him.
When you look at Smith it's easy to see what you see. He's so small. Thin frame. He looks like if he took a solid hit to the mid-section he'd break in half.
What I don't like.....He's not really quick twitch. Like Calvin, he's a strider. He really doesn't shy away from contact like a 170 lb guy should. Takes on too many tacklers. Not super elusive after the catch. Didn't see him get jammed too much in college but my guess is with his size it's going to be an issue in the NFL.
What I like.......Great routes. Great hands. Excellent body control. Goes up and gets it really well for a guy his size. Great speed. Gets separation quickly. Can catch and turn up field in a heartbeat. Once he gets upfield it's over.....he's going to win a straight line footrace with just about anybody. He is the definition of a HR threat.
Of the top 3.....I like him the least. BUT, he's going to be a very good WR in the NFL if someone doesn't kill him running across the middle.
I voted other for Devonta Smith. The guy reminds me of Will Fuller. Someone who is talented but will be hurt as much as he plays. I would rather have a Marvin Jones that is there every game than a Will Fuller.
Pitts, CB, WR, and Fields. Don't want any of those.

So you want a QB or Parsons? Those are the only 2 options you would accept?
