The Falcons drafted the "generational" talent in Kyle Pitts with the 4th overall pick in the 2021 draft. He was touted as possibly the best tight end ever to enter the draft. Given the opportunity, do you think they would redraft him at 4 again? Success at the collegiate level, no matter how impressive, doesn't always translate to similar production in the NFL. Warren was the primary everything in Penn State's O, he'll never be used the same in a pro offense.I’d say even more so in round one. Your trying to draft a player that will be a staple in your O or D for the next 7-10 years so yes if Warren is a better prospect than grant, you don’t pass up on Warren based on the targets he’d be getting his rookie year
He's a very talented and well-rounded player, but it's a huge risk to select him with your first-round pick. To get the best ROI on him, you'll have to feature him in your offense, and typically, NFL offenses don't feature their TE as their primary weapon. If I had a young, stacked team and needed a TE, then maybe I would have taken the risk, but certainly not in our current state. Just my opinion...
