The only Florida prospect in the upcoming draft without much fluidity to their projection is tight end Kyle Pitts. While other players have been predicted in several different spots in the draft, Pitts has been fairly consistently mocked in the top 10 (or, at worst, top 15). This new two-round mock draft from CBS Sports’ Chris Trapasso is no different.
He has Pitts being selected at No. 7 by the Atlanta Falcons, who he projected would trade down from No. 4 and still take the player many analysts predicted them to. There was talk of the Falcons taking a quarterback, but if they choose to stick with Matt Ryan, then it would make sense to land one of the best offensive weapons in this class.
After their trade back, the Falcons jump at an opportunity to pick Kyle Pitts, and strike a deal with rebuilding Detroit. In this trade, the Lions receive No. 68 (Round 3) and a 2022 fourth-round pick from Atlanta along with the Falcons’ No. 9 overall pick.
