But, none of the good TEs were taken in the first round! By blusky4days on Mar 7, 2021, 9:12am EST + I've seen a lot of pushback on Pitts being taken in the first round that is motivated by the notion that "none of the good TEs were taken in the 1st round". "Kelce (round 3), Kittle (round 5), Andrews (round 3), Waller, (round 6), and Ertz (round 2). And both Jonnu Smith and Jared Cook were drafted in the third round." While this is true, there are reasons aplenty as to why these players were drafted in their respective spots. Additionally, not all of those players are first or second options on their teams. So, while they may put up nice numbers, many of them are still putting up TE numbers, not WR like numbers like a Kelce, Kittle, Waller or Graham back in the day.
