Only reasoning with picking Pitts or any other receiver for that matter with the first pick is if we stick with Jimmy. Make it so you or I would be a decent QB with those weapons. Others have chimed in that it takes two years to fully recover from an ACL injury. It's not an easy decision to get rid of Jimmy because he's soooo popular in the locker room and what he means to this team.
However, I don't see it happening. We'll go QB if one of the top 4 falls to 12, CB or OL probably in that order....
