1. Kyle Pitts, Tight End, Florida

This may be shooting for the stars, but Kyle Pitts may be the prospect worth moving the moon for in the 2021 NFL Draft. If someone is going to make a huge move for the dynamic playmaker from Florida, why not the Buffalo Bills?

Sure, it would take the Bills a lot more capital to move all the way up from 30 to where they would need to get to in order to select Pitts, but if they think he’s the missing piece to their offense they could make it happen.

At this point, it seems like moving up to pick four with the Atlanta Falcons is what it is going to take to land Pitts. That would take a HUGE move for the Buffalo Bills to pull off in the 2021 NFL Draft. Almost unrealistic, really. But if the Bills think he’s the best player in the draft and he can put them over the top, they may be willing to move multiple future first-round picks that will likely continue to be at the end of the round.

More realistic, if the Falcons make their own selection or another team trades up for a quarterback and Pitts falls a bit, even to six, the Bills could really make a move. Pitts is a real game-changer with his size, speed, hands and versatility and could completely change the course of any offense.

The Bills’ offense really only lacks an elite tight end. Josh Allen took a huge step last year and could take another huge step this season with a weapon like Pitts in his arsenal. It is looking more and more like the NFL agrees and he will be the first non-quarterback off the board, but if he falls a bit, expect a team like the Buffalo Bills to pounce in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft.
