I know the board has been hijacked by Politico to serve as their comments section for the day, but a few football fans might be interested in hearing thet notorious BYU hater McShay of Scouts, inc. thinks that Pitta will be the first player drafted from the East-West Shrine Game (from ESPN Insider):

(snip)

"He is a bit lean, has room to improve as a blocker and lacks elite top-end speed. Still, his separation skills as a route runner are uncanny and he is a vacuum when the ball is in the air. There will be a handful of tight ends at the combine who look better than Pitta at the weigh-in, run faster than Pitta in the 40-yard dash and jump higher than Pitta in the vertical. But the team willing to ignore the measurables and take a chance on the Pitta in the late-second to early-third round range will eventually be rewarded."

David Reed also got props

Personally, I think Pitta is going to show better than mcShay thinks. He is faster than he looks, and our strength program does know how to prepare players for the lifts.
