They do have similar height and speed. But Evans' arms are literally 2.5+ inches longer than Pittman's arms. The comp for Evans is somewhere between DK Metcalf and Kyle Pitts. After three seasons, Evans had 27 TDs (played 46 games). He has averaged 9+ per season in his career. Pittman has 7 career TDs heading into his third season (played 30 games). Pittman might be as good or better inside 15 yards, but he is not (yet) the deep threat or RZ threat that Evans has been since the moment he entered the NFL at age 21. Evans is just a different tier of WR. I will just leave this compilation of his 75 career TDs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiCzc441CkY If Pitt develops that type of game, the Colts will have a $25M WR on their hands.

1. I’m pretty sure we keep Banogu - if he doesn’t fit Bradley’s scheme I don’t know what the point of drafting him was. I also think we stick with our 5th and 6th round picks. The last one I just picked one to be honest, I just don’t know them well enough to even make an educated guess. 2. Defo will get around 9 sacks I think. Would love for him to just explode though and have a career year. I think he’s really looking forward to just getting after the QB. 3. I said 8 for Paye. Solid production but I just don’t see him as a sack machine. Hope I’m wrong of course. 4. 9 for Ngakoue. I think he’ll get a lot of focus from OCs but he’ll still be a big additionfor our defense. 5. I voted 11th-16th. We have to get into the top half at least. The focus of our Dline under Bradley seems to be to get sacks and pressure. This and adding Ngakoue has to change our sack-totals and pressure% significantly.

You are right...we won't know until we know. All we can do is try to project these players to the NFL to see which one has a better chance of being a highly-productive WR. And I think Moore's overall profile projects better to being that type of player. Not to digress into another post about the Colts approach at WR, but the Colts drafting team certainly is not infallible at WR. We have seen them pass over very good WRs in recent years. But I am not even saying they did that here. We know they have a very specific process for drafting players, especially early. And taking Pierce over Moore is more about Pierce fitting their criteria better than Moore, not necessarily upside. That process can unearth a superstar like Leonard, but it can also create tunnel vision on certain players (Ben Banogu for example). My final thoughts. I recall a good chunk of this fanbase being all about Moore prior to the draft. And I think if he had been the pick, the vast majority of the fanbase would have loved it and would have no issue with the premise of Moore having a better projection and upside.
