It’s looking more and more like Florida tight end Kyle Pitts might be your next Atlanta Falcons draft pick.
The MMQB’s Albert Breer shared Monday morning in his latest 2021 NFL Draft dispatches that the noise is building for Pitts to indeed be who the Falcons take at Pick 4 when Thursday’s first round rolls around.
The drumbeat for Florida’s Kyle Pitts has grown louder here, and a good number of other clubs believe he’ll be the fourth pick. Three breadcrumbs we can leave for you here. One, GM Terry Fontenot has done some relationship-building with Matt Ryan that, really, seems to indicate the Falcons aren’t desperate to move on from him in nine months (the contract restructure sends a similar message), and Ryan has been a steady presence in the building the last few weeks.
