Report: Falcons “expected” to take Florida tight end Kyle Pitts, doing “extensive work” on Day 2 RBs

Another day, another 2021 NFL draft report about the Atlanta Falcons potentially taking Kyle Pitts. This likely won’t even be the last one we share today, either.

This time, it comes from ESPN reporters Jeremy Fowler and Dan Graziano, who say they feel the expectation right now is that, barring a big trade, the Falcons will stand pat and take Pitts with the fourth overall selection in Thursday night’s draft.

Speaking of the Falcons, we have been told that team owner Arthur Blank was pushing, early in the process, for the team to draft a quarterback, on the premise that teams don’t often get to pick this high in a draft with so many good quarterback prospects.
