Florida tight end Kyle Pitts has been a popular pick in mock drafts for the Atlanta Falcons at No. 4 overall, but the dynamic prospect himself doesn’t think that’s where he’ll hear his name called Thursday night.
Appearing on NFL Network on Tuesday, Pitts says he thinks quarterbacks will be selected with each of the first four picks in this year’s draft.
That would leave Pitts on the board at No. 5 overall, where the Cincinnati Bengals would have the choice of taking him over LSU wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase or Oregon offensive tackle Penei Sewell. If Pitts doesn’t go there, it’s almost certain that the Miami Dolphins would stop his mini-slide with the No. 6 overall pick and snatch him up there.
We’ll see what really happens on draft night, but Pitts doesn’t seem to think he’ll be the No. 4 pick to the Falcons.
