2. New England Patriots (No. 15 overall)

OK, so I have the Patriots here even though I don’t see Kyle Pitts falling to No. 15 overall. But this would be a fantastic landing spot for the All-American tight end.

Look at how Rob Gronkowski thrived in New England and just imagine Pitts getting those type of targets from whoever is starting at quarterback. While the quarterback situation right now isn’t great with Cam Newton not having the greatest 2020 season, Pitts would make life easy on whoever Bill Belichick throws out there.

Playing for arguably the best coach in the NFL can only result in good things for Pitts and he could thrive in this system. If I’m a top draft prospect, I look directly at New England and hope that the Patriots pick me. They are known for getting the most out of their players.

A winning organization in need of a tight end? Sign Pitts up. He would be the centerpiece of that offense and he would immediately have an impact there.
