If ATL was really happy with Hurst at TE, they could have just picked Chase to play opposite of Ridley.
But they chose Pitts because he was more versatile and could offer (far) more at TE as a receiver.
with Pitts you can run 2 TE set or just line him up outside.
Even if Atlanta had someone better than Hurst at tight end, the versatility of Pitts is something any offense wants.
