Eagles: 3 non-QB options in 2021 NFL Draft after Jalen Hurts news
By Mark Sipos
2. Kyle Pitts, Tight End, Florida
The best offensive weapon in the draft, Kyle Pitts will be a star wherever he lands. A former quarterback, Pitts’ talent offers much more than your average tight end. Pitts is a rare athlete, as his size, athleticism, route running and hands allow for him to be a weapon at any spot of the field. While he’s not going to block to the level of the best in the league, Pitts is good enough to where is not a liability by any sort of imagination.
The fit for Pitts in Philadelphia would be fascinating to see. With Zach Ertz most likely playing for a new team in 2021, the Eagles could grab Pitts to pair with Dallas Goedert to have a two-headed monster at tight end, which would benefit Jalen Hurts greatly. Pitts would also fill the void at wide receiver, as he would give Hurts a true weapon in the red zone on the outside.
Sirianni would have a lot of fun developing an offense around Hurts, Pitts, Goedert, and running back Miles Sanders. Along with a healthy Jalen Reagor, the Eagles offense could quickly become a young, exciting offensive show. The Eagles will also need to address their offensive line, as they gave up the most sacks in the NFL with 65 (although, you could blame a lot of those on Wentz). Injuries were a major factor for the offensive line struggles, as only Jason Kelce started all 16 games for the group.
