YouTube - DENNIS PITTA BYU TE NFL COMBINE WORKOUT
Exactly, would be a great fit in the Indy offense. Just what Manning needs, another weapon.
Considering the Pats flushed the TE position this offseason, the chances of him being selected in the 2nd round are pretty high. Doesn't have the straight line speed that some other TE's in this draft class have, but he is able to separate quickly. I believe the Pats are looking for this now more than WR speed. Watson had that but it took too long for him to get open.
I dont think he'll be there at our first second round pick
Uhhh, why take him in the first round when he can be had in the late 2nd/3rd? I've never seen a mock that had him go higher than the 3rd round.Which is why i firmly believe he will be our number one overall pick.
Pitta is ranked at more of a 3rd or 4th round value. (#77 overall according to CBS. NFL Draft - 2010 Draft Prospects - CBSSports.com - NFLDraftScout.com)
Another guy I'd take a good hard look at is Jimmy Graham from the University of Miami.
He's a very explosive athlete (38" vert, 10' broad) with great size 6'6 260, arm length 35", and big 10 5/8 inch hands.
This is the kind of guy you could coach up into a real beast.

2010 NFL Combine Results: Is This the Best Tight End Class Ever? | Bleacher Report
There are a number of good looking tight ends in this year's draft. I don't see the need to expend a 1st round pick on one, when you can get about the same player in the late 2nd to 3rd rounds in a deep looking draft class.
A 2-year church mission makes Pitta a bit older than a typical senior as he actually started college in 2003. While some will see this as a hindrance to his potential, it makes him a typical BYU prospect: a mature young man. Pitta’s potential may be about at its maximum but he is still a very good prospect. His numbers are inflated playing for pass happy BYU is a weaker conference and he will need to prove he can handle the speed of the pros, like most rookies, but he’s almost too smart to fail. Despite catching and yards totals, only has 13 TD in his career.
Pitta is underrated and will likely stay underrated right up till the 2010 draft when someone grabs him in the mid-2nd round, if not earlier. He is a pass catching demon that can work the middle of the field and draw defenders. One of the better receiving TE in college, Pitta is a big season away from being a high draft pick.
YouTube - Dennis Pitta highlights top 5 TE 2010 draft
Easily one of my fav tight ends out of the entire draft. He might be taken 1st overall by us the guys talent and blocking is pure and natural and he has so much more to grow and at 6-5 245 he still has room to improve
He's 6'4.5". And he's lanky.. It's questionable how much more room he has to grow. Especially since he's 24 going on 25 thanks to his 2 year LDS mission trip to the Dominican Republic.
Improvement? Sure. All these picks can improve.
Reality, though, is that he's going to be older than most, if not all of the guys that the Pats drafted in the last 2 years.. Not sure if that is a bonus or not..
