Eric Edholm's Commentary
A grand slam. No matter what Julio Jones’ fate is, the Falcons are adding a rare weapon in Pitts, who is just scratching the surface of his potential at age 20 (he turns 21 this fall). New head coach Arthur Smith is a former TE coach, and he elevated the position in Tennessee as offensive coordinator there. With Pitts, Calvin Ridley and Hayden Hurst, the options are pretty exciting for Smith and QB Matt Ryan.

Eric Edholm's Commentary
Give GM Terry Fontenot credit for moving down and adding assets. Grant is a nice pick here — a ballhawk with good range and instincts. The Falcons are going to see a lot of passes thrown against them this season, and adding a back-half piece after moving on from Ricardo Allen, Keanu Neal and Damontae Kazee this offseason was a must. We, however, liked TCU’s Trevon Moehrig slightly better.

Eric Edholm's Commentary
We see Mayfield fitting in well inside for Atlanta. He played tackle at MIchigan and offered some real promise in his smaller sample size of play. Mayfield was never quite the dominator some expected in Ann Arbor, but his mean streak could really play inside in time. We like Mayfield’s upside more than some others do. Nice pick here.
