Jake Ciely· Jul 11, 2025

Seeley mocks anyone going back to Kyle Pitts, treating him as a tight end who will burn drafters again, while touting Trey Benson as a discounted value who remains the clear backup to James Connor. He also calls out late-round picks like Justice Hill, Rashad Bateman and Romeo Doubs as upside-less bench wastes.

“Going back to Kyle Pitts is like trying to look at taco bell at two am when you're thirty years old.”
