If we select Pitts with our 6th...

IF we select Pitts with our 6th, does that make Gesicki trade bait? He will be due for a new contract soon which we probably can't afford. If so could he garnish a 2nd round pick in this years draft?
Good question, we should have $ next years as we have contracts we can get out of for flexibility. Maybe we use a year to see if they can work in tandem, get Pitts feet wet. We can probably afford Geisicki next yr by letting others go. I don’t think anything happens this year.
 
No. You roll with Parker, Fuller, Pitts, Gesicki and a drafted RB in RPO packages and watch the offense take off. Then you resign Gesicki and profit.

If it doesn't work, you already drafted a better replacement, and you let him go in FA and collect comp pick.
 
Grier is not done wheeling and dealing. I expect him to trade players on our roster during the draft. He's going to try to get a 4th round pick. We don't have picks in round 4 or 6.
 
I agree with the thoughts we need a running back in this draft. Can you imagine adding Harris and Pitts in our offense? Two big pass catching tight ends to be teamed up with our WR and an RPO back like Harris!! The question is, how many tight ends does a team usually keep because we need to keep Smythe for his blocking and catching abilities. Where does that leave Shaheen and Myrarick? I only see one of these two sticking and must be Special Teams contributors. Thoughts?
 
We traded for Shaheen last year, Smythe is the only True TE blocker. We will only carry 3 TE, maybe 4, but I seriously doubt it. We like to carry extra DB’s on this roster especially when only 2 TE play at a single time.
1. Pitts safe obviously
2. Smythe safe
3. Shaheen or Gisecki here
So...what will we do?
IMO, we will try and trade Gisecki during the draft. He holds the most value.

I like this line of thinking...

Pick up an additional sleeper TE in the 4th/5th - Kenny Yeboah to take a spot.

If we draft Pitts, one of the TEs goes away. We signed a blocking TE in FA. Cutting Smythe would save 2 mil in cap. Cutting Grant would save 3 mil. I can see it.
 
I think ATL will draft Pitts 4th overall
That Is exactly why I think we traded back to number 6, because we now first three picks are QBs. Only one of the top 4 QBs will remain. We are targetting Pitts at 6, if Atlanta finds a trade down partner like Denver, Pats, Panthers or Lions for the last top QB then we will draft Pitts, if not I think Atlanta Will draft Pitts and then we will be the ones looking for a trade down partner. If both Sewell and the last QB are there when we pick, I can see lots of interest from many teams. If Pitts Is out when we draft I think we will be happy by trading down and drafting Waddle/Smith/Chase/Parsons
 
I would take Pitts over Chase. I would also keep 4. I would pay Gesicki on a new contract and have a dynamic2 duo for the next few years.
How many will dress on game day? Just curious...its the problem with picking a C high...you don't dress two C....you dress your starter and a hybrid.

Most teams dress 8 TE/WR combo...if you keep 4 TE and dress 4, can you still dress 5 WR?
