The fact that the Jacksonville Jaguars have fortified Trevor Lawrence’s supporting cast the past few months hasn’t gone unnoticed. Just recently, Pro Football Focus called him the biggest beneficiary of the upgrades the team’s brass has made, and understandably so. No. 16 will no longer have to throw behind a patched-up offensive line. Similarly, Travis Hunter, Dyami Brown, and Brian Thomas Jr. give him a dynamic trio of weapons, but what if the Jags could still make another addition to his arsenal of weapons?

NFL insider Jordan Schultz reports that multiple clubs have reached out to the Atlanta Falcons about the availability of tight end Kyle Pitts, pointing out that nothing is imminent but he may be had for a Day 2 draft selection.

Pitts recently made headlines because he hasn’t shown up to Falcons OTAs. James Palmer of Bleacher Report reports that the absence isn’t contract-related but rather due to a foot injury. That said, he doesn’t mention just how serious it is.

The fourth overall pick in the 2021 draft, Pitts turned heads as a rookie, registering 68 receptions for 1,026 yards with four touchdowns. However, injuries and inconsistency at quarterback have hindered his performance the past three seasons, limiting him to a combined 100 receptions for 1,269 yards with seven touchdowns. Couple that with the fact that the former Florida Gator is entering a contract year, and it’s easy to see why Atlanta may want to move on from him.

This begs the question, should Jacksonville consider giving the Falcons a call and see what it would take to land Pitts?

Kyle Pitts would turbo-charge the Jguars offense

Back in 2021, it was revealed that the embattled Urban Meyer — after drafting Trevor Lawrence first overall — wanted to move up all the way up from No. 25 to take Kyle Pitts. He ultimately stayed up, and the Jags rolled with Etienne. Still, it’s fair to wonder how things would have played out if they had somehow managed to land the talented tight end.

Fast forward to 2025, and Jacksonville is bullish on Brenton Strange, who showed last season that he’s capable of stepping into a starting role, registering 40 receptions for 411 yards with two touchdowns. With Evan Engram out of the mix, Strange should see an uptick in production. Behind him are a trio of blocking tight ends: Quinton Morris, Johnny Mundt, and Hunter Long.

The three could step up if needed, but no opposing team is going to game plan for them. That could create an opening for Pitts, who would give the Jaguars a devastating duo of tight ends alongside Strange. Having said that, he could also be an unnecessary luxury in Jacksonville.

Strange will see more playing time, but not necessarily more targets. In fact, he could be the fifth or even sixth option in the passing game behind Brian Thomas Jr., Travis Hunter, Dyami Brown, Parker Washington, and Bhayshul Tuten. And if that’s the case, what good would it do to bring in Pitts? Sure, it would give the team a dynamic weapon and enviable depth at tight end. On top of that, the Jags have two extra selections in Round 3 next year, so they have the assets to trade for him.

That said, paying a Day 2 pick for a player who may not have a featured role may not make much sense. Maybe if Kyle Pitts cost a fourth or fifth, he would be a great bargain, one Trevor Lawrence would approve. For the time being, he might be a luxury the Jaguars don’t need.
