Drake London is the alpha; Pitts lacks ceiling despite elite age-25 comp.

The source presents conflicting takes on Pitts. While acknowledging he was tight end two in half-point PPR scoring last year with 88 catches, 928 yards, and five touchdowns, and that new Falcons head coach Kevin Stefanski has historically been tight-end friendly (his offenses averaged 167 tight end targets over the last three years), the source is ultimately not excited about Pitts and doesn't view him as part of his tight end strategy. Pitts is going in the middle tier of tight ends (7-11 range), which historically has a high bust rate. The core concern: when Drake London is healthy, London is clearly the alpha in the passing game, not Pitts. Last two seasons, Pitts averaged 8.5 PPR points per game, which would rank outside the top 20 tight ends. He was better with Kirk Cousins than Michael Penix. The source worries about the ceiling with Tua or Michael Penix as quarterback and notes the Falcons could be drafting a quarterback in 2027, suggesting potential quarterback instability. At age 25, only Rob Gronkowski, Tony Gonzalez, and Jason Witten had more catches through their age 25 seasons, but the source will only consider Pitts if he falls into late-round tight end territory.
