The trade we need to make right now per Enzo Flojo

[TD alt]

I have to admit that I have never heard of Enzo Flojo, but I kind of like this Clutch Points' writer's name. It flows. When I saw his trade hypothetical, I thought about it, and I kind of like it as well. But would our FO actually do it, in light of their draft last year? And would the Falcons do it, considering that the Panthers are a division rival, and are they ready to admit a sunk cost?

 

"Kyle Pitts hasn’t lived up to his draft billing yet, but his potential is too tantalizing to ignore. For the cost of a Day 3 pick, the Panthers could secure a tight end who gives Bryce Young the safety net he desperately needs. With McMillan, Legette, and Thielen stretching defenses on the outside, Pitts could thrive in a featured role in Carolina’s offense."

 

That's an interesting proposition. I expect to hear the arguments about giving Sanders' time and our much-needed draft capital. Sanders may surprise, yeah, but he had an opportunity to take the position by the horns last year and wrestle it away from Tremble. And, of course we have Mitchell Evans who will likely be a good all-around backup, but neither guy has the upside of Pitts. And for a day three pick---if we could actually unlock Pitts' true potential as the glorified WR that he is, then he'd make a compelling number three option and safety valve that may play well with Bryce Young's game.

Kyle Pitts has the football acumen of Ian Thomas, the blocking ability of Jimmy Graham, and the give a poo of late career Jay Cutler. 

falcons fans and coaches hate him. 

dude is trash. 

[Jmac]

[Jaxel]

How TF can you be a GM of a professional football team and think its smart to draft a TE not only in the 1st round, but 4th overall lol

Dude blows donkey ******* for nickels and gives 10 cent refunds.

"Pitts hasn't matched the heights of his rookie campaign, but has shown flashes here and there that his talent remains."

"After injuries and inconsistency slowed his development in recent years. The Falcons are playing it by the ear and could explore a trade that sends Pitts to the Carolina Panthers, giving the team a fresh start and a chance to play with a franchise quarterback in Bryce Young and rejuvenate his young career."

"Carolina bringing Pitts on board will add to the collection of talent that is at [disposal] for the offense."

In fairness to Pitts, they use him completely wrong. He is absolutely a matchup nightmare, but ATL trot him out there at as an inline TE in 21 or a slot wr in 11 personnel. They take all the mystery out of his role in the play. 

A competent OC could get much more out of him. Use him more in 12 personnel, where you can motion him around to exploit those matchups. 

They would never trade him to us, but I would love Pitts in this TE room.

Finally, a Huddler with some vision.

No. 

Sanders has the ability to be the guy. 

Not sure why anyone expects a rookie TE to just go gang busters.
