9. Arizona Cardinals: Kyle Pitts, TE, Florida

The Arizona Cardinals have done plenty over the last two years to upgrade their offense.

They hired Kliff Kingsbury as their head coach and he promptly began building the team around quarterback Kyler Murray.

After Murray, the Cardinals used a second-round pick in 2019 on slot receiver Andy Isabella, a dynamic athlete who could be one of their top breakout players in 2020.

The Cardinals also swung trades for running back Kenyan Drake — who was tremendous in 2019 for them — and wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, who could very well be the best wide receiver in the entire league.

Even with all of that, the Cardinals lack a presence at the tight end position, which is where Kyle Pitts could really come in handy.

Pitts is a chameleon offensively with the ability to play a variety of positions including in-line as the tight end, and his dynamic combination of size, speed, athletic ability, and strong hands would make him an impossible one-on-one cover with the rest of the talent on Arizona’s roster.
