Nerdy Football Analysis: The Patriots are getting a 7th-round pick in return. As any Kyle Pitts owner would tell you, the Falcons made little use of their tight ends last season. The position caught 62 passes for 695 yards in Atlanta, about half the yardage amassed by Travis Kelce. Atlanta is still trying to figure out the quarterback position and Jonnu isn’t likely to be a fantasy option unless Pitts missing significant time.
