Kyle Pitts, TE, Falcons – (No. 4 pick, first round)
A tight end has never won the Associated Press Offensive Rookie of the Year award, but Pitts who set the mark for the earliest a player at the position has been selected in the common draft era has a chance to end that drought. First-year GM Terry Fontenot said there was no way Atlanta was passing on the 6-6, 245-pound Mackey Award winner with its top pick, and new coach Arthur Smith should relish being able to put the mismatch creator alongside Julio Jones, Calvin Ridley and Hayden Hurst. Even though there are only so many Matt Ryan passes to go around, Pitts is in line for a good number of looks, especially in the red zone.
