So now Horn/Chinn can work on Pitts, making the Falcons much more stoppable from a defensive point of view. A 2nd round isn’t good value either. It’s probably going to be late 50s/early 60s for arguably the best WR in the league. 

Horn should be on Ridley. Chinn, Shaq and others can work on Pitts, though I highly doubt Pitts is that big of a threat his rookie year.

You’re about to be in for a rude awakening.

Jackson will be on Ridley and Horn on Pitts.

Agreed. It is a much easier transition for a pass threat TE than an elite CB prospect. 

I would expect Pitts to be a much better player in year one than Horn. I expect that will have flipped by Year 3.

He had a big contract but a 2nd round pick really isn’t good value for a player of his caliber. Glad he’s out of the division.

A second is good value for a player of his share coming off injuries.

I just think he is that rare freakish player who will put up huge numbers year 1 in a very pass friendly league. He’s basically Calvin Johnson playing TE.

Fantastic. Great to get him out of the division.

We're very close to taking over the division now thanks to Brees' retirement. 

yup

Y’all heard it first from me. Said it all along, Julio to Tenn. 

Sure you did!

After weeks of speculation surrounding star wide receiver Julio Jones, the Atlanta Falcons are trading him to the Tennessee Titans.

The Falcons will receive a 2022 second-round pick and 2023 fourth-rounder. The Titans reportedly will also get a 2023 sixth-round pick in the trade. Ian Rapoport was the first to report the deal, which is also pending a physical.

Jameis Winston under Payton is going to be a huge problem

Depends on how they use Pitts. If he is lined up out wide and is there best weapon I would expect our best coverage guy to cover him. That’s the luxury of Horn IMO, he has the speed and size to take away our opponent’s best weapon. With Julio gone and Pitts being drafted so high, he will get plenty of looks his rookie year. Horn covered Pitts some when USC played Florida and did ok.
