Kyle Pitts thinks quarterbacks will be taken with first four draft picks

Kyle Pitts is expected to be taken early in the upcoming draft, but the tight end believes the earliest he'll get picked is by the Bengals at five, as he says that he thinks the first four picks are all going to be quarterbacks. 

Pitts was asked how he would feel if he got drafted by the 49ers with the third pick and he admitted that he does not expect that to happen.

"It would surprise me (to go at No. 3)," Pitts told NFL Network's Andrew Siciliano. "It's a lot of great quarterbacks in the draft. I think the first four picks will be quarterbacks. If I do get a chance to be drafted at third, that would be … I don't even know. That would be too crazy. That would be really exciting. I don't know what'll happen. I think my heart'll just fall out of my chest."

Will the first four picks really be quarterbacks? It's a definite possibility. The Jaguars, Jets, and 49ers are making no effort to hide that they are taking quarterbacks with the first three picks, so the only real question is the Falcons at no. 4. Atlanta could be in the market for Matt Ryan's eventual replacement or could trade the pick to a team desperate to grab whichever quarterbacks are left.
