re: Pitts

I hear you. Opinions vary on this though. He stayed in school to prove that he could be a true TE and improve his draft stock which he has definitely done. It looks like the Falcons will have their choice between Lance, Pitts, and Sewell with the 4th pick or they could trade back. Sewell is just a freak athlete as well at LT and we could slide him or Matthews into the LG spot and sure up the OL quite a bit.

Here's what PFF said about them both. Not that PFF is the be all end all but they are a good baseline.

T PENEI SEWELL, OREGON
Sewell earned the highest single-season grade we’d ever given to an offensive lineman back in 2019 before opting out. Oh, and he was only 19 years old. The term “freak” doesn’t even begin to do him justice.

TE KYLE PITTS, FLORIDA
Yet another player who looked like a man among boys despite being relatively young. Pitts earned the highest grade we’ve seen at the tight end position last year and won’t turn 21 until this fall. He’s not just a tight end — Pitts can get open against anyone.
