Fitz says Trevor Lawrence has become a top-10 quarterback with high-end QB1 potential while being drafted as a low-end QB1, and that Kyle Pitts should be Atlanta's No. 2 target-earner and is worth grabbing before the tight end drop-off after the top eight.
“There's high-end QB1 potential here — as we saw late last season — and yet Lawrence is being drafted as a low-end QB1, according to average draft position (ADP).”
