AUTiger7222 7,811 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 This is beyond stupid. Falcons don't need a TE. Sure, Kyle Pitts would be nice to have but we don't need a TE. We've got so many other needs that picking a TE in the top 10 is just so stupid. autigerfan 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kaptain Krazy 4,005 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 and this projection includes Atlanta trading with Carolina, which is probably less likely than Atlanta taking a TE in the 1st round Skeetbird, Drew4719, blknoble357 and 9 others 9 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mister pudding 3,445 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Not that I agree with that draft--at all. But you don't think we need a tight end?

ramonezy 956 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 I've learnt not to pay attention to mainstream media when it comes to Falcons coverage... They're generally clueless. More than likely they throw us a random player to be able to justify a later "earth shattering" pick. AUTiger7222 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Slimm 286 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Pitts and hurst with Julio andCalvin outwide would be nasty. Pitts is a great prospect. I don't hate the pick the more I think about it. Having two TEs like that and two elite WO's is mismatch heaven. Not too mention Gage, who ain't bad himself. celtiksage and Run 'n' Shoot 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AUTiger7222 7,811 Posted February 24 Author Share Posted February 24 People I love Kyle Pitts. He's the next Gronk and I'd love to have him on the Falcons. I just see TE being down the list of priorities. We need to address other needs. Also, as several of you correctly pointed out, getting only a pair of 3rd's from the Panthers is terrible too.
