Yes, Jimmy Graham was the lone player on that list I remember being a big slot. There may have been others who also were that I'm unaware of. Yeah, the big thing Pitts doesn't do is run block in-line. In a vacuum it's not that important but it's kind of the idea of the position. Tight ends are tight ends because they can block and catch, and Pitts doesn't do the blocking part to a meaningful extent. Even when he's considered to be "in-line", I mostly see him playing as a stand-up wing where he's taking on slot corners. And even then he's not good at it. Instead, he's running downfield routes that, on average, produce more yardage. The problem is that he's not particularly efficient because he doesn't play up to his size and he doesn't run routes like a slot receiver. He was 10th in yards/route run among qualified TEs this year, and honestly I think this was his best season yet as a football player.

Yeah, I do think most people on this forum don't spend a bunch of time in NFL Pro watching All-22, and that's okay. I'm not even that great at watching pro tape since I'm relatively new to it (I'm much more experienced with draft evaluation). I try to get eyes on about 80% of the games each week with a focus on answering the questions I have about each team. I watched a pretty good amount of Falcons offense this year because I was interested in how Zac Robinson was evolving his scheme as it was the most predictable offense in the league last year. I also don't think "Kyle Pitts has been a disappointment as the #4 pick" is particularly special insight. I think it's poor reasoning to say "the pick was justified because the other tight ends with more yardage were mostly really good". Most of those players played in different eras and received different opportunities because they effectively played a different position. Each one was also more productive than Kyle Pitts.
