With the Falcons sitting on the No. 4 pick in last April's NFL Draft, many teams called general manager Terry Fontenot to inquire about trading up to their spot.
Fontenot fielded the calls but declined every offer and chose one of the biggest "can't-miss" prospects in recent memory, Florida Gators tight end Kyle Pitts.
While there was backlash from critics about why the Falcons neglected to draft more for need on the defensive side of the ball - or at QB - selecting Pitts blocked out the noise because the Falcons possibly acquired the biggest talent in the draft.
Standing 6-6 and weighing 240 pounds, Pitts has the size of a tight end but the speed and hands of a wide receiver.
