I sure hope Atlanta takes him, but as I have mentioned a number of times, I don't think he is a good fit for a team that lives in 11 personnel more than any other team in the league.  

That doesn't mean I don't respect the guy or think "he sucks" or anything stupid like that.  I just have him behind both Chase and Sewell.  

That is in regards to him being an elite blocking TE. He's still a solid blocker. He just isn't considered a dominant blocker from the TE position.

What you get from Pitts that you don't get from the "big 3" WRs is someone with a gigantic catch radius and who would be the best high pointing the ball. Think of Mike Evans in terms of how he plays the game. He's faster than Evans though. He's not quite as fast as Chase or Waddle (or possibly Smith), but he's way bigger. So what you don't quite get in the speed, you get in size and catch radius. Burrow should have no problem getting the ball to him.
