Even if it’s just to get in front of NY? Pitts would make the decision of letting Mark walk much more easier...
there's lots of cool players in this class - and premier talents at other positions that i'd rather take the guy who falls (or trade down) than give up picks to go get a guy who statistically is probably no better than a just over 50% chance of panning out
the only place in the draft with a meaningful success rate in terms of picking is in the top 5 where the success rate climbs to around 75(ish)% (depending on various arbitrary measuring differences)...
to me it doesn't matter how much i like a player, unless they're a quarterback i'm not giving up extra capital to go and get them - i have just as high a chance of succeeding by sticking at my spot with the added bonus that i get to keep my other picks
it's why trading down is way more valuable than almost any other manoeuvre you can make on draft day - the trade charts are all wrong basically - if you as the trade-down team can get compensation in line with those charts then great (good for you) but even if you don't manage to recoup quite that much you're still likely winning the trade
Pitts looks great but i'm not giving up extra capital for him - EDC talked last year about the idea of trading up for someone good and literally mentioned in the pre-draft process that the only way they would be trading up more than a couple of picks is if they had a chance to get Chase Young (literally mentioned him by name)
