Mars"Dennis Pitta... is ranked 91st overall among college football players, seventh among tight ends and was given a grade of 74 out of 100 by Scouts Inc. on ESPN.com. CBS Sports puts Pitta at 106th overall and sixth for tight ends... Bucky Brooks, a writer from Sports Illustrated, on NFL.com called Pitta a âpass-catching specialist [who] has tormented opponents with his precise route-running ability and underrated athleticism. Though he needs some work as a blocker, his receiving skills translate well to the next level... Jerry Hughes and Daryl Washington, both linebackers from TCU, were the only players from the Mountain West Conference to score higher than Pitta on the Scouts Inc. list. Hughes received 81 and Washington was given 79...â
...Other draft prospects on the Scouts Inc. list include Max Hall, Manase Tonga, Jan Jorgensen and Coleby Clawson.
